Think about the bigger picture
Understanding behavior as a “science”
requires both parts (Methods and Stats/Analysis)
Finding common ground can facilitate instruction
Research Methods:
An important ‘part’ of science

If the balloons popped the sound wouldn’t
be able to carry since then everything would
be too far away from the correct floor. A
closed window would also prevent the sound
from carrying, since most buildings tend to
be well insulated. Since the whole operation
depends on the steady flow of electricity, a
break in the middle of the wire would also
cause problems. Of course, the fellow could
shout, but the human voice is not loud
enough to carry that far. An additional
problem is that the string could break on the
instrument. Then there would be no
accompaniment to the message. It is clear
that the best situation would involve less
distance. Then there would be fewer
problems. With face-to-face contact, the
least number of things could go wrong.
Bransford and Johnson (1972)

Bringing Science into Focus
Finding the common ground in methods
and statistics can help students
understand:
“why” they are working through the process of
engaging in research methods, and
how research methods ‘fits’ with the bigger
picture of engaging in science.
