1 Unit 4 Research methods for sport and exercise sciences BTEC Level 3 National Sport and Exercise Sciences Unit overview Credits: 10 Research is becoming more important and widely recognised in the world of sport. As sport has become more business like and there are greater pressures for success, sports organisations are always looking for the next advantage over their competitors. The purpose of research is to advance knowledge about different areas, this guides the practice of people that work within sport including coaches, sport scientists and health practitioners. Therefore, the aim of this unit is to help learners develop their knowledge, understanding and skills within research methods. On completion of this unit, learners should: LO1 Know key issues in research methods for the sport and exercise sciences LO2 Know data collection techniques for the sport and exercise sciences LO3 Know qualitative data analysis techniques for the sport and exercise sciences LO4 Know quantitative data analysis techniques for the sport and exercise sciences. Unit contents The scheme of work for this unit links to the following resources to help you deliver Unit 4. LO1 LO2 LO3 LO4 Lesson plan LP Activity sheet AS1, AS2, AS3 AS1, AS4, AS5 AS1, AS6, AS7 AS1, AS8 Stretch and support E1 E2, E3 E3 E3 Presentation PPT All these resources can be found on the accompanying CD-ROM, as well as an editable version of the scheme of work, answers to activity sheet questions and questions in the student book. Links to other units This unit is inherently linked to Unit 5 Research project for sport and exercise sciences, as the techniques learned in this unit will be used to complete the final research project. Links can also be made to other units where learners can develop research skills through real life examples. For example, Unit 2 Sport and exercise physiology could be used to help learners understand the concept of laboratory based data collection and Unit 7 Exercise, health and lifestyle could be used to help learners understand the use of different types of interview. 1
2 BTEC Level 3 National Stretch and support To support each of the activities throughout this unit, tutors could direct learners towards textbooks, journals or websites, provide support when learners are developing arguments or examples and encourage group work so that learners can develop ideas with peers. E1: Key issues in research methods More able learners could be encouraged to look at different examples of key issues in research methods within their work. For example, they could expand on pass level work that looks at validity by looking at the different types of validity. Learners could be further stretched by being encouraged to look at how the different key issues can influence the overall quality of research. E2: Ethical and legal issues in sport After examining the different ethical and legal issues associated with research, learners could be encouraged to look at the implications of not working ethically and legally within research. More able learners could examine why different measures are used to ensure ethical and legal guidelines are followed and what the implications of not following guidelines are and how this could affect the research career of an individual. E3: Data collection and analysis methods in research After selecting appropriate research design, data collection methods and data analysis methods, learners could be stretched by examining why those methods are appropriate for their given research example. Learners could provide a suitable argument to support their choice. Learners could be further stretched by encouraging use of each of the different research methods and looking at why some others may not be suitable for a given research example. 2

12 BTEC Level 3 National AS5 Quantitative data collection methods Complete the table with information about quantitative data collection methods. Methods Questionnaire (survey) Field based Laboratory based Description Strengths Weaknesses When it could be used 12
13 Unit 4 Research methods for AS6 Qualitative data analysis Explain each stage of data analysis, referring to the presentation that your tutor delivers and the Student Book. Data reduction Displaying data Drawing conclusions and verifying data 13
14 BTEC Level 3 National AS7 Qualitative research For each example, select and justify an appropriate research design and data collection and analysis techniques. Example 1 You are investigating the psychological effects of a cruciate ligament injury on a professional football player, from immediately after surgery until he returns to play (a period of 6 8 months). You want to find out how the athlete responds to the injury, how their responses to the injury change over a long period of time and how they develop as an individual throughout the injury. You want to be able to give the participant the opportunity to discuss their feelings openly in a one to one situation. Suitable research design Suitable data collection/analysis technique(s) Justification of collection/analysis technique(s) Example 2 You want to investigate levels of team cohesion in a group of cricket players, with a view to improving cohesion within the team. To do this effectively you will need to get the views of the players, coaches and support staff relatively quickly and do more in-depth analysis with some of the team; research from the inside would also be useful. Suitable research design Suitable data collection/analysis technique(s) Justification of collection/analysis technique(s) 14
15 Unit 4 Research methods for AS8 Examples of quantitative research For each example, select and justify an appropriate research design, and data collection and analysis techniques. Example 1 Working with a group of football players, you want to investigate the effects of imagery on penalty taking performance. You will be looking at the effects of a treatment on performance and will be taking measurements from the same group on two separate occasions. Suitable research design Suitable data collection technique(s) Justification of data collection technique(s) Suitable data analysis technique(s) Justification of data analysis technique(s) Example 2 You are investigating public preferences for sport. You will need to collect a large amount of data from a large population in a relatively short space of time then present the data in a way that illustrates the preferences. Suitable research design Suitable data collection technique(s) Justification of data collection technique(s) Suitable data analysis technique(s) Justification of data analysis technique(s) 15
16 BTEC Level 3 National Student book answers Just checking, page What is research? A systematic process of discovery and the advancement of human knowledge. 2. What is qualitative research? A more subjective form of research that collects non-numerical data, in the form of meanings, opinions and beliefs, which can be used to explain causality, differences and relationships. 3. What is quantitative research? A formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data are used to obtain information. It is generally deductive research and is designed to establish differences, relationships or causality (does one thing cause another?) 4. What are the key issues associated with research methods? Validity, reliability, accuracy, precision 5. What are the different types and classifications of data? Types: primary, secondary; Classifications: discrete, ordinal, continuous, interval, ratio 6. What are the common research designs used in research? Experimental, cross-sectional, case study, longitudinal, comparative 7. What is the BASES Code of Conduct and why is it important? It is a code of practice that governs the work of sport and exercise scientists. It is important in research as it outlines all of the professional standards that should be maintained, including the ethical and legal issues associated with work as a sport and exercise scientist in a research setting. 8. What are the different stages of qualitative data analysis? Data reduction, displaying data, drawing conclusions and verifying data 9. What are the different ways of organising quantitative data? Range, rank order distribution, simple frequency distribution, grouped frequency distribution 10. What are the different ways of displaying quantitative data? Graphs, histograms, bar charts, cumulative frequency graphs, distribution curves 11. What are the different measures of central tendency and variability? Central tendency = mean, median, mode; Variability = standard deviation 12. What are the different types of inferential statistics used in quantitative research? Parametric (e.g. t-tests) and non-parametric (e.g. Wilcoxen Matched Pairs Signed Ranks Test) 16
