Components:
1. Observations or Measures
2. Treatments or Programs
3. Groups
4. Assignment to Group
Characteristics of Good Design
Theory-Grounded: Reflects the theories which are being investigated
Situational: Indicates the settings or conditions of the investigation
Feasible: Can be implemented
Redundant: Provides multiple processing particularly for validation
Efficient: Maintains a balance between redundancy and the tendency to over-design
Examples of Research Design
Laboratory Experiments (JIS, ASTM, Euro, [...]
