was not properly undertaken?
Selecting study variables
Correct! Performing a pilot study
Conducting the literature review
Defining the purpose
A pilot study is commonly defined as a smaller version of a proposed
study conducted to refine the methodology. It is developed much like
the proposed study, using similar subjects, the same setting, the
same treatment, and the same data collection and analysis
techniques. Some of the reasons for conducting pilot studies are to
determine feasibility, to develop a treatment or intervention, to
develop an implementation protocol, to identify problems with the
design, to evaluate the sampling method, to examine instrument
reliability or validity, to refine instruments, to refine plans for data
collection and analysis, to provide research experience, and to
evaluate data analysis techniques.
Question 2 pts
What does a quantitative research instrument measure?
The level of measurement
A statistical test
Itself, for validity
Correct! A study variable
When conducting a quantitative study, the researcher attempts to use the most
precise instruments available to measure the study variables.
