Learning log

This week we learned about the different types of research studies. We talked about 4. They are experimental, correlational, descriptive, and action research. This important for me to know about these different types of research because I will have a better uderstanding of which studies have valid conclusions and which do not. If the conclusions are from an experimental study, as long as it was done well, the conclusion can tell us cause and effect relationships. This will be very useful for me to know as an individual and as a teacher. like I said I can gather information on studies and determine for myself if it is very valid or not. It will be useful for me to conduct my own research studies.
