Understanding behavior as a “science” requires both parts (Methods and Stats/Analysis)Finding common ground can facilitate instruction

Research Methods:An important ‘part’ of science


If the balloons popped the sound wouldn’t be able to carry since then everything would be too far away from the correct floor. A closed window would also prevent the sound from carrying, since most buildings tend to be well insulated. Since the whole operation depends on the steady flow of electricity, a break in the middle of the wire would also cause problems. Of course, the fellow could shout, but the human voice is not loud enough to carry that far. An additional problem is that the string could break on the instrument. Then there would be no accompaniment to the message. It is clear that the best situation would involve less distance. Then there would be fewer problems. With face-to-face contact, the least number of things could go wrong.

Bransford and Johnson (1972)

Bringing Science into Focus

Finding the common ground in methods and statistics can help students understand:

“why” they are working through the process of engaging in research methods, and

how research methods ‘fits’ with the bigger picture of engaging in science.
