Assignment: course project component— multiple baseline design | EDSD 7072 – Research Methodology for Special Education | Walden University

  

For this module’s Course Project component, you will develop an overview of your multiple baseline design for your single-subject study for your Course Project: Assessment of Student Learning: Utilizing Single-Subject Design Assignment.

To prepare:

· Review the O’Neill, R.E., et. al. (2011) course text readings for this module to gather insights and examples to support your multiple baseline design for this module’s major assessment component. Consider the topic, variables, and designs you have developed and submitted to your Instructor thus far to inform this Assignment.

· Note: Pay particular attention to all of the elements required that must be included in your submission; for example, when you identify variables and designs be sure that you include the withdrawal design. Some students overlook this part of the Assignment.

Compose a 2–3 page overview of your multiple baseline design for your single-subject study.

    Focus on the spectrum of relationship and descriptive studies.      Note correlational designs and causal comparative studies. Develop an      understanding of surveys, case studies, program evaluation, archival      research, longitudinal studies, empirical literature reviews, and      meta-analysis.

Consult the following readings for work on your Course Project Component Assignment during this module:

    Focus on the range of designs, beginning with the A-B and      progressing to reversal designs. Pay particular to the various adaptations      to reversal designs. Review approaches when comparing two or more      interventions, or two or more groups.

  • Chapter 7, “Multiple Baseline and Multiple      Probe Designs” (pp. 99–116)

    Focus on approaches to design that support measuring the      acquisition of new skills. Reflect on options when returning to a baseline      rate may be unethical. Consider the characteristics of multiple baseline      and multiple probe designs.
