Research Design Pre-Experimental Design One group of 26 non-randomly assigned students, with no controlled group. This experimental design may also be referenced as the One-Group Pre-test/ Post-test Design. Symbolic Design: OXO The single group of participants (O) will be pre-tested before being given the treatment (X), and a post-tested (O) in order to determine the experiment’s success.

Proposed Data Pre-test and Post-test: Teacher administers a pre-test at the beginning of the lesson. Teacher will then administer the lesson, and give the children the same test as a post-test to see what knowledge has been obtained through the lesson. Student Survey: Teacher gives each student the same survey which looks at personal opinions, student habits, and student demographic data.

Threats To Internal Validity History: Unforeseen schedule changes/ student or teacher absences Maturation: Six weeks of exposure, possible growth Testing/Pre-test Sensitization: Pre-test offers a glimpse of what to look for during lesson Instrumentation: Tools created by researcher, possible bias based upon student knowledge Mortality: Student absences/ Guardian requests student no longer participates. Differential Selection of Subjects: Drama not offered at school, does not take place in the homes Selection-Maturation Interaction: Student maturity and growth differs Generalizable Conditions: Student interest in dramatic arts will vary

Threats To External Validity Pre-test Treatment: Pre-test given, students may try to memorize information Specificity of Variables: Researcher did not influence gender selection, social studies lessons vary on type of dramatic role-play that can be implemented. Experimenter Effects: Researcher previously worked with experimental group (students), biased questions could be created.
