&amp;gt; Experiment in education psychology is conducted to study the outcomes of various teaching techniques on students. Basic purpose of any experiment is to establish cause and effect between two variables (IV and DV) and to control the extraneous variables.&amp;gt; Experiment in education psychology aims at improving the curriculum and developing learning methods.&amp;gt; Pretest post test Quasi experimental design - Quasi experimental design is best suited for non randomised group. For given, study quasi experimental design would be most suitable because pure experimental method can bring artificiality in the study and also it would lack ecological validity and external validity. &amp;gt; Method - In the given study, class discussion is independent variable (IV) and learning outcome is dependent variable (DV). We will first distribute psychology vocabulary test to the class and record the scores of test. Then we will encourage the students to  participate in class room discussion. Again we will distribute equivalent form of vocabulary test. Now we will analyse the mean scores of both the tests using statistical analysis. If there is difference in scores of two tests then cause and effect relationship exists and class discussion has effect on learning out comes.&amp;gt; Conclusion - In Quasi experimental design, groups are not randomly assigned. Effect of IV is studied on DV in experiment.
