constant while the other set of variables
are being measured as the subject of

Experimental research is one of the founding
quantitative research methods.

The simplest example of an experimental research is


conducting a laboratory test. As long as research is
being conducted under scientifically acceptable
conditions – it qualifies as an experimental
research. A true experimental research is considered
to be successful only when the researcher confirms
that a change in the dependent variable is solely due
to the manipulation of the independent variable.

There are three primary types of experimental research design:


1. Pre-experimental research design
2. True experimental research design
3. Quasi-experimental research design
The different types of experimental research design are based on the
how the researcher classifies the subjects according to various conditions
and groups.

• This is the simplest form of experimental research design. A group, or various


groups, are kept under observation after factors are considered for cause
and effect. It is usually conducted to understand whether further
investigation needs to be carried out on the target group/s, due to which
it is considered to be cost-effective.

The pre-experimental • One-shot Case Study Research Design


research design is further • One-group Pretest-posttest Research Design
bifurcated into three types: • Static-group Comparison

• True experimental research is the most accurate form of experimental research


design as it relies on statistical analysis to prove or disprove a hypothesis. It
is the only type of Experimental Design that can establish a cause-effect
relationship within a group/s.

In a true experiment, there • Control Group (Group of participants for research


are three factors which need that are familiar to the Experimental group but
experimental research rules do not apply to them.)
to be satisfied: and Experimental Group (Research participants
on whom experimental research rules do apply.)
• Variable which can be manipulated by the researcher
• Random distribution

• The word “Quasi” indicates resemblance. A quasi-experimental


research design is similar to experimental research but is not exactly
that. The difference between the two the assignment of a control group.
In this research design, an independent variable is manipulated
but the participants of a group are not randomly assigned as
per conditions.

ADVANTAGES OF ER
✓ Researchers have a stronger hold over variables to obtain desired results.

✓ Subject or industry is not a criterion for experimental research due to which any
industry can implement it for research purposes.

✓ Results are extremely specific.

✓ Once the results are analyzed, they can be applied to various other similar aspects.

✓ Cause and effect of a hypothesis can be derived so that researchers can analyze
greater details.

✓ Experimental research can be used in association with other research methods.

• Refers to a wide variety of evaluative, investigative,
and analytical research methods designed to
diagnose problems or weaknesses—whether
organizational, academic, or instructional—and help
educators develop practical solutions to address
them quickly and efficiently.
