blocking and randomization
Blocking and randomization is a method used in research studies to ensure a fair comparison between groups. Blocking involves grouping participants based on specific characteristics, such as age or gender, to reduce the influence of these factors. Randomization involves assigning participants to different groups or treatments randomly, ensuring an unbiased distribution and minimizing potential biases. Together, blocking and randomization improve the validity and reliability of research results.
