Using Research Design mind maps

Start with Types of Research Design for an overview of exploratory and experimental approaches. Its branches give you a way to see how the approaches relate before looking at a more specific map.

For a closer look at choices in a study, Research Design Decision Tree branches by the number of variables and their scales of measurement. Investigation design includes independent and dependent variables. Trace the branches, then try explaining the connections in your own words without looking at the map.

Compare and check

Use Strengths and Limitations of Observations to review different forms of observation. Then explore Weaknesses of Methods, which includes selection bias and omitted variable bias. Compare what each map brings out and note any points you want to revisit.

When you want to test your understanding rather than follow connections, switch to a quiz on the Research Design unit page. Pick a map and follow a branch that interests you.

Frequently asked questions

Which mind map is a useful starting point?

Types of Research Design is a useful starting point if you want an overview. It includes exploratory and experimental research design, so you can follow the branches before moving to a more focused map. Research Design Decision Tree is another option when you want to look at choices involving variables.

What do the Research Design mind maps cover?

The maps cover topics including study designs, variables, observation and bias. For example, Quantitative Research Designs includes descriptive, observational and experimental studies. Strengths and Limitations of Observations covers forms of observation, while Weaknesses of Methods includes selection bias and omitted variable bias.

Are these mind maps free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The maps were made by GoConqr users rather than GoConqr. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
