EDAC (EVIDENCE BASED DESIGN ANDCONSTRUCTION) EXAM
What type of research methodology is used to understand the complexity of
topics from personal perspectives, experiences, and interactions? - ANSWERS-
Qualitative
Ordinal Scales - ANSWERS-Classifies the data into several discrete ranks and
assigns it values according to the ranking.
For example: bad=1 good=2 great=3.
In addition, to frequency counts, percentage, and mode, median can be used to
summarize ordinal data. Median is the value in the middle of the ordinal data.
Methodologies - Define (quantitative) quasi-experimental (comparative) research.
Give example. - ANSWERS-Similar to true experiments in many aspects - causal
hypothesis, procedures to test the hypothesis, comparison of at least two
conditions and some control of confounding variables - but lacks the rigorous
control usually found in experiments.
Ethnographic Study - ANSWERS-Focus on a group of people who share a common
culture. Gathering in-depth data related to patterns of interpretation - helpful in
understanding complex work situations.
,Case Study - ANSWERS-Involves in-depth investigation of one or several cases,
individuals, units or projects.
Correlational Study - ANSWERS-Two or more characteristics or variables are
collected and examined to see if the differences in one variable are related to the
differences in other variables.
Prospective vs Retrospective - ANSWERS-Prospective*: Looks forward in time and
usually includes a research plan before outcome data is collected.
Retrospective: Looks back in time and examines data to find causes of outcomes.
*Most studies related to EBD are prospective.
Before and After Study - ANSWERS-A study that measures outcomes by
comparing data collected before and after.
Methodologies - Define (quantitative) randomized controlled experimental
research. Give example. - ANSWERS-Researchers control and manipulate variables
and randomly assign research participants to different conditions or levels of the
independent variables. For example: patients, staff members, groups, units.
In planning for the integration of the new concepts and plans, which perspective
should be considered for specific departments, concurrently exploring how
technology, cultures, process, and space can be integrated in a way that
streamlines information flows, improves quality, and meets desired outcomes? -
ANSWERS-Systems-based
,Creating ideal patient experiences - behavioral expectations for staff associated
with goal - is what type of change? - ANSWERS-Cultural
What 3 ways does EBD research inform the building project after construction
and initial occupancy? - ANSWERS-1. Evaluating the effectiveness of design
solutions - how does design influence outcomes? Do the selected design
strategies work better than alternatives?
2. Testing theories - the research findings can be use to test whether evidence
supports the hypothesis derived from theories.
3. Contributing to the knowledge base - good research studies can expand the
knowledge base.
What should be tested against the guiding principles and design guidelines...to
ensure project goals are met? - ANSWERS-Design concept
What group approves research studies involving human subjects is called...? -
ANSWERS-Institutional Review Board
The first step to conducting research during post-occupancy is to determine
_________. - ANSWERS-what should be measured.
In addition to the typical process of developing construction documents, what
additional steps support the EBD process? - ANSWERS--Monitoring
implementation of design and construction
-Finalizing the business case
, -Planning for the integration of design concepts into operations.
Visioning - What are the steps of visioning? - ANSWERS-1.Describe what the
project hopes to accomplish.
2. Gather information that would inform the project.
3. Explore research that may inform the project vision.
4. Develop:
a. an information repository.
b. guiding principles and design guidelines.
c. domains of potential research associated with the project.
Three questions that are asked during visioning to help establish goals that link
the project to the desired outcomes? - ANSWERS-1. What is the project trying to
achieve?
2. What is the problem?
3. What design concepts should be considered to meet these goals and
objectives?
What is articulated in the project vision? - ANSWERS--Intentions, directions, goals,
and objectives for the project.
-Vision also includes commitment to utilizing the EBD process.
Strategic Facilities Plan - What needs to be defined, developed and what
information needs to be assessed and confirmed? - ANSWERS-Define:
