The purpose of the present work is
to develop a strategic system for the examination system and marks of students
obtained in the school. The time scale of analysis comprises the time between
two exams. The overarching goal of the plan is to ensure that the system of
marking and the quasi-experimental design of examination is going according to
the requirements and have a contribution to the research endeavors (Shahzadi and Ahmad).
Quasi-experimental
design of develop a strategic system
Research
design will work as a guideline for the researcher to practice research
approaches and techniques. The research design is selected according to the
requirements of the research study as inappropriate design can result in the
ambiguity and ineffective research outcomes that are not desired at any cost.
Qualitative research design covers experimental research studies that require
deep observation of a limited group. While on the other hand, Quantitative
research design covers a large population (Shahzadi and Ahmad).
Quantitative
research designs cover those specific topics that require large scale studies
and direct responses of a large sized group of respondents to generalize a
conclusion. Somehow, the conclusion can be only generalized on the basis of hypothesis
testing. Considering all this information about the research design the
selected research design is qualitative research design (Smith and Holmstrom). In accordance with
this research design, data will be collected from the qualitative research
methods. Quasi-experimental design research will be used as a research design
to study independent variables. Independent variables are time spent in
preparation of exam and regular class of English lectures. While Quasi-experimental
design research will determine the impact on the dependent variables (student
performance and English class performance) through testing hypothesis and
studying the behavior changes (Smith and Holmstrom).
The outputs of the research will
include translational research about the marking system, service research about
the facilities provided to the students, and bench research based on the number
of students involved in the analysis (Smith and Holmstrom). The present
research plan was developed to consult student interests, faculty, and staff
and results of the research will enable to identify the gaps in the examination
system and how this gap can be reduced. The examination department will be
facilitated by the comprehensive application of the improved system (Shahzadi and Ahmad).
The characteristics of the research plan are
related to the time series data and it is based on the modification of long-run
school systems. A large number of issues related to the time series data and
modification of long drawn time happening are discussed for the quasi
experimental actions. The method will enhance the design of the pre examination
system along with post examination system.
The improved system will be
designed to address the objectives of research and circumstances faced by
students in finding the solution of issues (Shahzadi and Ahmad). The quasi experimental actions are an
integrated approach of the research that will improve the outcomes of research.
The regular and consistent research focus are included to deal with
requirements and general issues of research (Smith and Holmstrom). Quasi-experimental
design research will select respondents and samples on best selection basis
rather than random selection basis as only relevant population can present
actual results that are desired.
Purpose of Research of
develop a strategic system
The quasi-experimental design has some specific purpose. The
purpose of Quasi-experimental design is to involve an independent variable's
manipulations without the random kind of assignment of respondents or research
samples to conditions or orders of conditions (Smith and Holmstrom). Research study on a
selected topic will be based on the important purpose that can benefit a large
audience. Purpose section will represent the aim or purpose of the researcher
regarding this research project.
The key
purpose of this research will align all other activities concerning with this
research study to ensure the desired outcomes of the research study. In short,
research purpose is to study the selected audience and collect data from them
directly to present findings on this issue (Smith and Holmstrom). The key issue to be
addressed in this research study is presented below in a separate section. Research
purpose to conduct research on this problem to reach the proper solution that
will definitely benefit school students.
Research Problem of
develop a strategic system
The research
problem is the main issue. The research problem is related to the marks earned
by schools students in the exams. The problem to be studied is how the
application of comprehensive school time can draw an impact on the overall
performance of the school students (Smith and Holmstrom). The research will
study this problem in detail while considering the difference in the post-
examination design and pre-examination design.
Hypothesis of develop
a strategic system
In the
hypothesis sections hypothesis will be developed in the light of research
questions. Furthermore, the hypothesis will be developed after the literature
review to develop appropriate and most relevant research hypothesis. During
hypothesis testing, p-value will be taken as a guideline to conclude whether the
selected or developed hypothesis is null or acceptable for this research study.
The null hypothesis is the hypothesis that presented significance or p value less
than 0.05 in statistical hypothesis testing (Shahzadi and Ahmad). The researcher will reject all null
hypothesis and select only that kind of hypothesis which we represent p-value
and significance greater than the specified limit of 0.05. Some hypothesis
related to the performance of school students are presented below:
H1: School student who
studies 3 hours daily show better performance in the examination
H: 2 School students who take regular English lectures show
better performance in English.
Research Questions of
develop a strategic system
The research questions are presented below in the list that
relates to this qualitative research study.
RQ: 1 Does time spent in the study has an impact on the
overall performance outcomes?
RQ: 2 Do regularity in English classes can improve student’s
performance in English classes?
Conclusion on develop
a strategic system
Concluding
the whole discussion, we can say that selected research design is qualitative
research design. The qualitative research design is appropriate for this
research study as it will require deep study of student's behavior and their
performance outcomes in a different scenario. The research study will follow up
the Quasi-experimental design research that is a type of qualitative research
study. Quasi-experimental design research will study conditions and involvement
of independent variables of this research. The research will be conducted by
taking per-and post examination performance outcomes. The researcher will
provide environment or require circumstances to the students to bring changes
in their behavior. The behavior changes will be measured through the experiment
organized by taking into consideration all relevant research questions and
hypothesis.
