Review:
Quasi Experimental Research Design
overall review score: 4.2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Quasi-experimental research design is a type of research methodology that falls between experimental and non-experimental designs, allowing for some control over variables but not as much as a true experiment.
Key Features
- A manipulation of an independent variable
- Lack of random assignment
- Controlled observation
- Use of control groups
Pros
- Allows for some degree of control over variables
- Can be more feasible and ethical than true experimental designs in certain situations
- Often used in real-world settings where random assignment is not possible
Cons
- Less internal validity compared to true experimental designs
- Vulnerable to selection bias and confounding variables
- Difficulty in establishing causation
