Abstract
This module is intended to refresh or introduce students to aspects of experimental design, enhance their understanding that the experiment design should support appropriate statistical analysis of the data, and promote the students' recognition that there is often more than one possible way to design an experiment. This module is easily adaptable for students of any background or any education level. Instructions for presenting the module are included here, an associated power point is available for modification and use, and possible modification and extensions are indicated.
This instructional teaching module was inspired and developed based upon the Experimental Design Assessment Tool (EDAT) developed by Karen Sirum from Bowling Green University and published in Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching (2011). Sirum, K., and J. Humburg (2011). The Experimental Design Ability Test (EDAT). Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching 37(1), 8-16.
