Conducting Time-Series Research

Assignment: Conducting Time-Series Research

Traditional experimental research dictates that there must be one or more experimental groups (groups receiving a treatment or intervention) and a control group (which does not receive the intervention). Participants are assigned randomly to the experimental and control groups. Although experimental designs may be preferable to other designs, even in action research, they are not always feasible for practitioners for many reasons. There may be ethical issues regarding withholding an intervention from a client group; or time, financial, or logistical constraints may make it impossible to include random assignment into groups.

In such cases, the use of time-series research can provide a meaningful alternative to true experimental research. Time-series designs are quasi-experimental, meaning that they still seek to evaluate the impact of a treatment or intervention on a target group (or individual) but do not include random assignment to treatment and control groups. Researchers still have control over admittance criteria to the treatment group (e.g., mothers under the age of 21). Times series then allows researchers to take measurements of treatment effectiveness at various intervals over time. Taken together, these data points provide information about the intervention under consideration.

In this Assignment, you apply time-series research techniques to a case study.

To Prepare

Imagine that you are a human and social services professional working with a child, Kaya, who is having some behavioral problems at her elementary school. As a scholar practitioner, you approach your work with her from an empirical standpoint and want to measure the effectiveness of your recommended services. To date, you have provided information about resources to the family and coordinated services for the child and family.

As such, you pose the following research question: “What impact do the services the child is currently receiving have on reducing off-task behavior, physical aggression, and verbal aggression for the identified child?”

For the purposes of this research, the target behaviors are as follows:

  1. Off-task: failure to maintain eye contact with task at hand for more than 3 consecutive seconds
  2. Physical Aggression: hitting/pushing/kicking peers/teachers, throwing objects
  3. Verbal Aggression: threatening, yelling

Consider the following observation report:

During the first observation period, which was conducted on Monday (in math class) between 11:20 and 11:30, 10-minute, 10-second, partial interval recording was used to assess the frequency of off-task behaviors, physical aggression, and verbal aggression. Kaya was observed to be off-task during 12% of the intervals observed, engaged in physical aggression 0% of the intervals observed, and engaged in verbal aggression 2% of the intervals observed.

During the second observation (during recess), which was conducted on Wednesday from 9:00 to 9:30, Kaya was observed to be off-task during 15% of the intervals observed, engaged in physical aggression 20% of the intervals observed, and engaged in verbal aggression 3% of the intervals observed.

Kaya was also observed on Friday from 10:30 to 10:40 during a group activity. Kaya was observed to be off-task during 20% of the intervals observed, was observed to engage in physical aggression 7% of the intervals observed, and was observed to engage in verbal aggression 10% of the intervals observed.

Off-task  Physical Aggression Verbal Aggression

10%           0%                             2%

15%           20%                           3%

20%            7%                            10%

The Assignment (1–2 pages)

Based on the data, you determine that you must design a behavioral intervention for Kaya and determine if it is successful. As you begin the process of investigating your research question:

  • Briefly describe a time-series design that you would use to investigate the impact of your intervention, and explain how you would collect and record the additional data. Be specific.
  • Select a method for graphically representing the provided data. Use the method to create a graph. (You can use Microsoft Excel or Word).
  • Analyze the data and provide a narrative description of your analysis.

Quantitative  Article Review

Choose 1 quantitative article and compose a 3-page review (not including the reference page in the count). Your review must include 2 sections (using Level 1 headings in APA): (1) a summary of the article and (2) a critical analysis of the article.

Your summary must include:

  • The purpose of the study;
  • A description of participants/sample;
  • The research design (experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, regression, etc.);
  • The method of data collection (survey, test, questionnaire, etc.);
  • A statistical analysis (t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), chi square, Pearson product moment correlation, Spearman rho, etc.); and
  • The results.

Your analysis must include:

  • Opportunities for further research not already stated in the article,
  • Threats to validity or rival hypotheses not already discussed,
  • Other original insight or criticism, and
  • Implications of the findings.

See your textbook if you need more help evaluating your article. Remember to include a reference page. All citations and references must be in current APA format.

NOTE: If the article you selected does not identify how the data was statistically analyzed (e.g., t-test, ANOVA, ANCOVA etc.), it is likely that this article is either not a quantitative study or not an actual research report but a summary of a study, in which case you must select another article.

Post a critique of the research study

Post a critique of the research study in which you:

Below attached is the journal and hypotheses checklist that is needed to complete this discussion post

  • Evaluate the research questions and hypotheses.

    The Research Questions and Hypotheses Checklist serves as a guide for your evaluation. Please do not respond to the checklist in a Yes/No format in writing your Discussion post.

  • Identify the type of qualitative research approach used and explain how the researchers implemented the design.
  • Analyze alignment among the theoretical or conceptual framework, problem, purpose, research questions, and design.

Research question for a quantitative study

The formulation of a research question is a vital first step in the research process and the significance of this is well reported in the literature; a well-structured question increases the outcome of useable findings. This week you will you will take what you learned from the previous modules/weeks and develop a quantitative and qualitative research question.

 

Week 5 Assignment:

Based upon the research conducted for Project 1, create research questions for the problem identified. Context will need to be included (i.e. how the questions relate to the problem statements), along with the actual problem statements and corresponding context. There should be at least one research question for a quantitative study, along with a corresponding hypothesis, and at least one qualitative research question. There must be at least two scholarly resources integrated in this project.

Elliptic Curve Research Papers

Abstract

The abstract should be one paragraph of between 150 and  250 words. It is not indented. Section titles, such as the word Abstract  above, are not considered headings so they don’t use bold heading format.  Instead, use the Section Title style. This style automatically starts your  section on a new page, so you don’t have to add page breaks. (To see your  document with pagination, on the View tab, click Reading View.) Note that all  text styles for this template are available on the Home tab of the ribbon, in  the Styles gallery.

Keywords: Add  keywords here. To replace this (or any) tip text with your own, just select it  and then start typing. Don’t include space to  the right or left of the characters in your selection.

Add Title Here, up to 12 Words, on  One to Two Lines

The  body of your paper uses a half-inch first line indent and is double-spaced.  APA style provides for up to five heading levels, shown in the paragraphs that  follow. Note that the word Introduction should not be used as  an initial heading, as it’s assumed that your paper begins with an  introduction.

Literature Review

The first two heading levels  get their own paragraph, as shown here. Headings 3, 4, and 5 are run-in  headings used at the beginning of the paragraph.

Heading 21

For APA formatting requirements,  it’s easy to just type your own footnote references and notes. To format a  footnote reference, select the number and then, on the Home tab, in the Styles  gallery, click Footnote Reference.

Heading  3.

Include a period at the end of a  run-in heading. Note that you can include consecutive paragraphs with their  own headings, where appropriate.

Heading 4.

When using headings, don’t skip  levels. If you need a heading 3, 4, or 5 with no text following it before the  next heading, just add a period at the end of the heading and then start a new  paragraph for the subheading and its text. (Last Name, Year)

Heading 5.

Like all sections of your  paper, references start on their own page, as you see on the page that  follows. Just type in-text citations as you do any text of your paper, as  shown at the end of this paragraph and the preceding paragraph. (Last Name, Year)
