Great effort this week class. I really like how the group exercises are going and you are attempting to work with the material. Some of you need to work on getting up a tad earlier, I'd hate for you to loose points at the end of the semester for always arriving late to class. Here is what we discussed this week.
Conceptual v. Operational definitions
Conceptual Fit
Good Operational definitions (Adequate, Accurate, and Clear)
Quantitative v. Qualitative Measures
Triangulation
Levels of Measurements (Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, & Ratio)
Unidimensional v. Multidimensional Variables
Types of Scales (Thurston, Likert, Rank Order, Check List, & Semantic Differential)
Measurement Methods (Self Reports, Other's Reports, & Behavioral Acts)
Questionnaires, Interviews, and Observations
Coding Schemes
Modes of Administration
In class we talked about open ended and close ended questions. For posting, develop a topic and create an open ended and close ended question. Be sure that your close ended question is mutually exclusive, equivalent, and exhaustive... to the best of your ability.
Example:
I am interested in how students get to school.
Open ended: How do you get to school?
Close ended: Please circle the choice that best represents how you typically get to school
A.) Drive a car
B.) Walk/ Ride a bike/ skateboard/ etc.
C.) Mass Transportation (i.e. Bus)
D.) Ride in a car with a friend or family member
