    Learners are expected to be able to plan for specific features in sufficient detail for replication. 

    If learners include a greater amount of detail this then increases the chances that the study they have planned should produce the same results, if repeated exactly.

    Learners can develop the level of detail required for applying their knowledge and understanding to planning tasks using the structured support in Worksheet 8: Designing for replicability. 

    This worksheet can be adapted for any scenario and/or type of research method that learners choose.

    Use Worksheet 8: Designing for replicability answers and discuss as a class the importance of replicability in planning studies and the ways in which other aspects of their plan can be made replicable.
