Quasi-experimental designs are excellent research designs to
use in evaluative research such as program evaluation. The director of training
at GlobalEd would like to complete a study using a quasi-experimental design
and needs your help. His hypothesis is as follows: Multicultural training will
increase instructor’s understanding of how culture can contribute to an
appearance of a behavior problem. Your Acme Corporation Behavioral Health
supervisor thought that a pretest/post test quasi-experimental design would be
ideal to test his hypothesis. In this discussion, we will talk about the
process the training director should use to complete his study.

What are some of the steps for completing this
quasi-experimental study?

When responding to other Acme Corporation Behavioral Health
interns comment on the order of the steps as well as if you agree or disagree.
By the end of the discussion, there should be a clear picture of what the
director should do, step by step.
