Observation

• 4. You need to start by stating WHAT you were observing. You need to provide enough information to enable someone to replicate your work. So what else do you need? Think outside the box!

• Answer who, what, where, when ,how?(5 points)• 5. Give plenty of detail. Don’t jump the gun and

answer the next question! Try to think of something other than “more” or “somewhere else”.

• REMEMBER “MORE” DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN MORE VALID!!!!!

Observation

• 6. Being less conspicuous: more validity

Different angle: more validityVideoing: more reliability2 observers: can check for inter-rater

reliabilityBUT don’t just write in this general way:

focus on the specific results of YOUR study.

REMEMBER THAT “MORE” DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN MORE VALID!!!!!

Activity C• 7. COPY!! Read the question!!!• 8. If you’re going to make a table, then

make it a table!!• Remember to specify the units• The range is a measure of dispersion, not

an average.• You don’t need to comment on the table,

as you weren’t asked to this time.• 9(a) Say whether your null hypothesis

was supported or rejected, but also explain the content of your work.

• 9(b) Refer to last presentation. You need to name the test, refer to calculated and critical values and mention levels of significance.

Activity D

• 10. Copy, but make it clear!!• 11. Give plenty of detail. Be precise. Did

people write down their estimate, or give it verbally?

• Again, have you given enough info. for your work to be replicated?

• 12. Give LOTS of detail. The mark scheme does say you can offer an alternative way of measuring the EXACT variable (no. of press ups estimated) or a more general one (estimated performance)
