Abstract | Research terminology is an under-examined challenge in the teaching of social science research methods and statistics courses. An important problem in research terminology is that many of the common terms have more than one meaning in English, which students often confuse. For example, the words random, pretest, validity, and regression have more than one meaning and are often problematic for students. Clarification of the most common of these misunderstandings is provided, and teaching strategies are suggested. This issue of ambiguous terminology has not previously been directly addressed in the literature. (As Provided). |
