(education)AQA Revision Exam And All
Correct Answers.
USING EXPERIMENTS TO STUDY EDUCATION - Answer 1) application in the classroom
- use field experiments to study aspects of classroom life
- has clear boundaries,e.g. space and time
- easier to control situation
2) reliability
- not exactly replicable but can be repeated in broadly similar ways
3) ethical problems
- pupils = more vulnerable and less aware of what's happening, so less able to give informed consent
4) limited application
- small-scale and can usually only examine a single aspect of behaviour
5) controlling all the variables
- schools = large complex institutions, many variables affect teachers and pupils.
USING QUESTIONNAIRES TO STUDY EDUCATION - Answer 1) practical issues
- good for gathering large quantities of data
2) sampling frames
- schools are a good source of ready made sampling frames. keep lists of teachers and pupils
3) response rate
- often low, but in schools they're higher
- once headteacher has put their authority behind the research, parents, teachers and pupils may be
under pressure to cooperate
4) researching pupils
- children = short attention span so short questionnaires are more effective.
- poor lit skills may be a barrier
