At the end of the school year, Professor Russell assesses reading ability once again and compares group differences. The design of this study exemplifies which of the following?

A. nonequivalent control group design.
B. static group comparison.
C. Solomon two group design.
D. Factorial design.

Answer 1

Non-equivalent control group design

Explanation:

Non-equivalent group design also called a quasi-experimental design. In this research design, the research has been used method and procedure to observe in a study. The study has been structured and equal to the experiment. There is some lack in the experience of a person's condition because the study lacks random assignment that includes some preexisting factors. It does not include the comparison and control group in the study. This study lacks the equivalent and appropriate comparison between the groups. There is some quasi-independent variable in the study.
