<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''The evaluation and identification of factors or relationships that influence outcomes''' is a category of [[Research question|research questions]] for [[evaluation and assessment]] that focuses on the alternative factors, aspects, psychological concepts, or outside forces that can influence a person's participation, learning processes, and achievement. <br />
<br />
==Definition==<br />
'''Identifying influential factors or relationships''' is a category of [[Research question|research questions]] that, when focused on individual participants, identifies and tests the impact of independent factors or [[Variable|variables]] that can influence a participant's [[Learning objectives and outcomes|achievement or other outcomes]]. Alternatively, when focused on the product, it is the identification and analysis of independent factors or variables that influence how a product is designed or used.<br />
==Common Research Questions==<br />
<br />
In this category of [[Research question|research questions]], the actual questions typically take one or more of the following general forms:<br />
<br />
* How does a factor or outside thing influence a person's learning (achievement)?<br />
* How does a person's psychological state influence how they behave? <br />
* How is a person's test scores influenced by their prior knowledge or experience?<br />
* How is a person's behavior or performance get affected by a person's history, background, or experiences?<br />
<br />
Some specific examples include:<br />
<br />
*What kinds of at-home or socioeconomic factors influence a person's learning?<br />
*What factors, relationships, or outside forces might influence a person's achievement?<br />
*How does a person's social life and social skills influence their learning?<br />
*How does prior knowledge influence a person's achievement of learning objectives?<br />
*What environmental factors in the classroom might influence a person's learning? <br />
*How does a person's everyday behaviors with technology influence their learning outcomes?<br />
*How does exposure and access to technology influence a person's learning?<br />
<br />
==Common Instruments and Data==<br />
<br />
There are a variety of [[Instrument|instruments]] and [[data]] sources that are commonly used for this category of research questions:<br />
<br />
*'''Tests and quizzes''', which provide evidence of people's [[Knowledge of the learner (KAB)|knowledge]] (which can be an indicator of learning and [[Learning objectives and outcomes|learning objective]] achievement)<br />
*'''Surveys, interviews, and focus groups''', to identify and measure different factors that influence people's behavior, knowledge, and affect. These instruments can also be used to measure a person's perceptions of how things are influencing them, or how they regularly feel (for example, in psychological factors)<br />
*'''Work products and projects''', including the different stages of the project's development (drafts) to see how a person's work changes over time<br />
*'''Narrative accounts and stories''', which allow researchers to identify factors that influence how people behave, interact, and learn, or how a product is influenced by outside forces.<br />
*'''Checklists and observations''', which can document and account for the presence or absence of certain environmental factors, influences, and other types of interactions with the learner that could influence learning.<br />
*'''Learning analytics''' in digital learning environments, which can measure the behavior of learners with the product<br />
<br />
