●● How to become an AT
Answer: 1. Graduate from a M.S. degree program accredited by CAATE
(Commission of Accreditation of Athletic Training Education)
2. Pass a national certification program
●● A very quick overview of what the paper is about
Answer: Title (APA Format)
●● The writers/researchers with qualifications to do this work
Answer: Authors (APA Format)
●● Snapshot of the paper (basic intro, methods, results, discussion)
Answer: Abstract (APA Format)
●● APA: What are the two purposes of the Introduction?
,Answer: 1. Literature: a broad presentation of the general topic then
narrow into specifics, prevent relevant research and theories.
2. Hypotheses: what the researchers expect to happen based on the
variables of the study (types of hypotheses, types of variables)
●● What are the two types of hypotheses?
Answer: 1. Research Hypothesis (H1): what most of you will find
written in your papers. Sometimes called "alternative hypothesis". The
H1 is typically worded as "The current study predicts...", "We anticipate
the following to occur..." It was hypothesized." In short, what the
researchers expect to happen.
2. Null Hypothesis (H0): what most of the statistics will be attempting to
support. You're trying to reject the null because it's the opposite of the
H1. If the sample provides enough evidence against the claim that there's
no effect in the population (p ≤ a), then we can reject null hypothesis,
which helps support the alternative hypothesis statically.
●● What are the two types of variables?
Answer: 1. Independent Variable (IV): aka the "cause". What is being
manipulated o/ controlled and measured if it can't be manipulated (age,
gender, height)
2. Dependent Variable (DV): aka the "effect" of the independent
variable, you never directly manipulate the dependent variable
, ●● What is quantitative and qualitative data?
Answer: Quantitative: numbers. Examines research through stats, large
sample size, very number focused, but sterile and unnatural
Qualitative: research data: words. Examines research more in-depth,
small sample size, very people focused, but timely and costly
●● What are the four kinds of procedures?
Answer: Observation: go into a natural setting and watch for certain
behaviors, form, or dialogue (can be either quantitative or qualitative)
Surveys/Scales: take a "test" that assesses your opinions, feelings, or
perspectives on a Likert-type scale (usually just quantitative)
Interviews: can have structured, semi-structured, or unstructured to
guide the conversation w/ a participant (usually just qualitative)
Experiments: typically have a random distribution of participants in
either the experimental group to get the manipulation, or control with no
manipulation to compare (can be either quantitative or qualitative
●● Statistic basis: Population vs. Sample.
