Lack of random participant in quasi-experimental design undermine
experimental data
The quasi-experiment is a study of an intervention that is used for the purpose of
estimating the effect on a group of people. This design lacks the random assignment of
participation and allows to control the experiment. In the given article, two groups of students
are taken one group is provided with WebQuest course and the other group is not provided with
any course. According to all the experimental data of the pretest, posttest, and post-posttest, the
prevention program against cyberbullying was successful. It reduced the intension behind
cyberbullying, and retained the knowledge of cyberbullying. However, the data have also
reflected that the effect of attitude against cyberbullying has also failed (Lee, Zi-Pei, Svanström
& Dalal, 2013). Therefore, in quasi-experiment design, the lack of random participation have not
lowered the effect of experimental data.
Condition where quasi-experimental design is most useful research design
The quasi-experiment design is most useful where the taken sample of people are
controlled and when randomization is not allowed in an experiment. As the article shows two
chosen group of students, one is the experimental and other is the control, here the quasi-
experimental design is best to implement for obtaining practical results (Lee, Zi-Pei, Svanström
& Dalal, 2013).
The benefits of quasi-experiment design are as follows:
 The outcome of this design is most feasible, and practical as it can control situations. It
lowers the ethical dilemmas related to the experimental group.
