Abstract:
In this seminar we plan to discuss some basic research designs for interventions studies, with examples from PhD-projects in our labs. Special attention will be paid to measurement issues, which are very typical in research on Language and Literature Education: without reliable and valid measurements, it will be very difficult to observe effects of your intervention. Other topics we want to discuss are (1) interaction effects (intervention A might be beneficial for student type T, while intervention B seems to be beneficial for student type U), (2) process measures, and (3) fidelity indicators, and how to include this data in the statistical design.
