Walden University Week 8 Correlation and Bivariate Regression Paper

I’m working on a education & teaching discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Week 8

Discussion: Correlation and Bivariate Regression

Whether in a scholarly or practitioner setting, good research and data analysis should have the benefit of peer feedback. For this Discussion, you will perform an article critique on correlation and bivariate regression. Be sure and remember that the goal is to obtain constructive feedback to improve the research and its interpretation, so please view this as an opportunity to learn from one another.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Find article in the field of education- related to low performing schools (Title I)

Review the Learning Resources and the media programs related to correlation and regression.

Search for and select a quantitative article specific to your discipline and related to correlation or regression. Write a paragraph critique of the article. In your critique, include responses to the following:

• What is the research design used by the authors?
• Why did the authors use correlation or bivariate regression?

Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?

Did the authors display the data?

1. Do the results stand alone? Why or why not?
2. Did the authors report effect size? If yes, is this meaningful?
