Week 8: Experimental vs Non-Experimental Research

Experimental research is the type of research that uses a scientific approach towards manipulating one or more control variables of the research subject(s) and  measuring the effect of this manipulation on the subject. It is known for the fact that it allows the manipulation of control variables. Non-experimental research is the type of research that does not involve the manipulation of control or independent variable. In non-experimental research, researchers measure variables as they naturally occur without any further manipulation.

In this section students are made familiar with Experimental and Non-Experimental research dessigns.
