摘要

课堂实践和方法往往依赖于轶事证据的实施和有效性。进行小规模的准实验研究可以为课堂实践的有效性提供经验证据。在技术和专业交流中,与其他研究方法相比,准实验往往没有得到充分利用。本文介绍了准实验研究作为一种工具,教师可以在他们的教学方法和实践中使用,通过解决阻止他们进行此类研究的两种常见恐惧:害怕做错,害怕浪费时间。作者使用案例研究来解释关键概念,包括准实验和真实实验之间的区别、选择偏差和混杂因素,并讨论与伦理考虑、数据收集和统计分析相关的准实验原则。

An Introduction to Quasi-Experimental Research for Technical and Professional Communication Instructors
Classroom practices and approaches often rely on anecdotal evidence for implementation and effectiveness. Conducting small-scale, quasi-experimental studies can provide empirical evidence for the effectiveness of a classroom practice. In technical and professional communication, quasi-experiments tend to be underused compared to other research methods. This article introduces quasi-experimental research as a tool for instructors to use in their teaching approaches and practices by addressing two common fears that prevent them from conducting such research: the fear of doing it wrong and the fear of wasting time. The authors use case studies to explain key concepts, including the difference between quasi and true experiments, selection bias, and confounding factors, and discuss principles of quasi-experiments related to ethical considerations, data collection, and statistical analysis.

期刊介绍: JBTC is a refereed journal that provides a forum for discussion of communication practices, problems, and trends in business, professional, scientific, and governmental fields. As such, JBTC offers opportunities for bridging dichotomies that have traditionally existed in professional communication journals between business and technical communication and between industrial and academic audiences. Because JBTC is designed to disseminate knowledge that can lead to improved communication practices in both academe and industry, the journal favors research that will inform professional communicators in both sectors. However, articles addressing one sector or the other will also be considered.
