Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Many practitioners of social science shy away from research, concerned that it is too much like doing arithmetic. In contrast, The Research Toolkit: ProblemSolving Processes for the Social Sciences presents research as a scientific art form. The book takes readers through a stepbystep process to help them arrive at a research protocol that aligns with their unique problemsolving styles. It shows how to organize problems into manageable steps and tap into the creativity involved in developing solutions.Readers learn how to construct a researchable question. They become familiar with samples and the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics. They study measurement, psychometrics, experimental research, and research design. They learn about various forms of research including causal comparative research, communitybased participatory research, and participatory action research. They enhance their understanding of correlations and correlational research.Designed to serve as a primary text in foundational research courses, The Research Toolkit features universal, adaptable content that allows each student to develop a personalized approach. The book can be used in a wide variety of social science disciplines at the baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral level.Bruce D.
