SLAT7855 Quantitative Research Methods: Dataset Presentation

Task Description

Weight:              30%

Due date:           Wednesday of week 9, 4pm

Submission:      via TurnItIn

The purpose of this assignment is to give you experience in finding, assessing, describing, and visualizing appropriate datasets for research projects.

For this task, you need to find a dataset and record a 10-minute presentation in which you describe, summarise, and visualise the dataset. In addition, you need to motivate and formulate at least one   research question that you could answer based on the dataset. The motivation for answering the

research question should be based on a gap in the existing body of research.  Finally, we want you to elaborate on how you would proceed to answer, in detail, the research question (be specific!).

Below, you will find some pointers on what questions should be answered in your presentation:

1.    Source: where does the data come from or how was it compiled?

2.    Overview: What variables does the data set consist of and what do the variables represent? How many observations does the dataset contain?

3.   Variables: What are the levels of categorical variables? What are mean, standard deviation, range,etc. of numeric variables?

4.    Distributions: What are the distributions of the variables in the data set? (you can use tables and visualisations to address this)

5.    Research question: What is a research question, that extends existing research, could be answered based on this dataset?

6.    Possible research: How would one have to proceed to answer the research question based on the dataset?

Prepare slides for your presentation and record yourself and the slides (we suggest you use Zoom and share your screen). The entire presentation should be no longer than 10 minutes. Your answers  should be presented as a coherent, clear, logical, and engaging manner. Any citations mentioned in   your presentation need to be added in a reference list at the end of your presentation (which should also be formatted according to APA7).

Your slides and your presentation should be engaging and informative. Your slides should not be too text heavy, and the slides should contain the main aspects of what you say/present. Use appropriate language without errors both on the slides and in your presentation. You are welcome to use visualisations and tables created by yourself and/or from the articles. Your face needs to be visible during the presentation.

This task has been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use Al

technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically

engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support

and guidance. A failure to reference Al use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. To pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed

comprehension of their written submission independent of Al tools.

Please refer to the rubic (available via the ECP) for details.
