For the 10 mark questions you need to be able to describe an appropriate procedure and then evaluate your procedure.
First the procedure- can be broken down into 5 easy categories:
-Who, so who is partaking in the study and your sampling method, note participants must be over the age of 16, eg Using volunteer sample I shall recruit 20 participants who are 20years old.
-Where, so where are you going to conduct your study, note you have to be specific if you say a school you must mention a classroom or say using the hall, eg the experiment will be conducted in Ermysted's Grammar School in the psychology classroom.
-When, when are you going to conduct the study, eg 21st May 2015 at 02:00pm
-How, so how are you going to conduct the study, so what method you are using (time sampling, event sampling, covert, overt, etc) and also how you are going to record your DV.
-What, this part is what you are measuring,so how you record your results (correlation, behaviours checklist, time sampling etc) Note that the How and What are very similar but be sure to include both.
Now to evaluate, you must find a strength and a weakness of your procedure. You do this by using PEC, Point, Explanation, Context.
-Point, A weakness of this procedure is that....
-Explanation, because.....
-Context, Now link it back to the study.
Eg. P- A weakness of this procedure is that Repeated measures design is used
E- Meaning the participants may suffer from the order effects for example the practice effect,
C- So they would have had practice on doing the (IV) and have got better as a result of this.
Hope this helps
