What are Independent and Dependent research variables?
As noted by Leedy and Ormrod (2010):
A variable is any quality or characteristic in a research investigation that has two or more possible values. They also state that an independent variable is a variable that the researcher directly manipulates. And a dependent variable is one that is influenced by, and so to some extent depends on the independent variable. (p. 224)
(Practical Research and Planning)
Can anyone add to this blog? I am having a hard time figuring out which variable is which in my study regarding teachers' integrating technology into the classroom.
