Reflection of 4th Lecture

This time we learned about quantitative and qualitative research. Then I knew that I was wrong. My topic must be a quantitative research because I would collect numerical data from the pre-test and post-test on my samples which represents the population. Obviously it would be an experimental research. Actually, I've learned more during the writing process. As I've planned to carry out an experimental research, I have to consider the EXTRANEOUS VARIABLES. These variables more or less would affect the internal validity of the experiment. I can see that the researcher could tend to be biased in marking the post-test in order to gain successful result. Regarding the population and sampling, my topic is for the Year 5 English Language students population. Due to the practicality during the intervention period, I've chosen cluster sampling plus it is useful for education research.
