The Hard Part: Methodology

My sister is currently a senior in college studying psychology. I've proofread enough of her lab reports and papers for the word "methodology" to be intimidating to me. However, this week as I've been working of creating my methodology, it's been easier than expected! It can really be condensed into this simplistic chart:

One Group Pre-Test Post-Test Design
Student Acheivement: 
Pre-test on RI 7.6 and RI7.8
Treatment: 
Direct instruction on informational text strategies. 
Student Acheivement: 
Post-test on RI 7.6 and RI7.8 


Survey: 
Brief survey on strategies student's utilized during post-assessment


Crafting this methodology was helpful in solidifying the steps of my study... what it would look like to actually conduct it. It's real now! It feels manageable. I also wrote my pre- and post- assessments as well as my survey. Something to look forward to next year!
