Research Methods, Statistics, and Applications Part of: Handbook of School Impro

Description: Research Methods, Statistics, and Applications Part of: Handbook of School Improvement (25 books) | by Kathrynn A. Adams and Eva Kung McGuire (aka: Lawrence) | Mar 8, 2018 This updated Second Edition of Research Methods, Statistics, and Applications consistently integrates methods and statistics to prepare students for both graduate work and critical analysis of research as professionals and informed citizens. Maintaining the conversational writing style, multiple examples, and hands-on applications of key concepts that made the first edition so accessible, Kathrynn A. Adams and Eva K. Lawrence enhance the new edition with additional coverage of online data collection, inferential statistics, and regression and ANOVA, as well as a wide range of diverse examples. In every chapter, the authors develop and apply research topics and examples from the current research literature across all aspects of the research process. Review "The authors have constructed a manuscript that utilizes real life research questions and takes the reader through a detailed process of how a researcher would construct a study to answer the question, select the appropriate statistics to answer the question, and disseminate the results in how to write up the results/discussion." -- Charles Fountaine "It outlines the bare necessities of research. It’s not full of definitions, it more so teaches students about the application of materials. The book comes across as task-oriented." -- Derrick Bryan "In our sections of research methods & statistics, students are asked to buy two books (methods + stats). I appreciate that this textbook is able to unite the two domains in such a clear way. This book really stands out as a detailed "field manual" for psychological research, and it′s the kind of book that students might be more likely to hang on to for future reference. The integration of SPSS & APA style conventions throughout was nice to see. Also nice to see effect sizes and power analysis show up so students don′t have a simple view of null hypothesis statistical tests." -- Ben Denkinger "I like the combination of the methods and stats. I believe that this book would be beneficial for an advanced research methods/stats class at the undergraduate level. I like that the book provides adequate coverage to case studies and single case research design." -- Erin Fekete "Some good thorough discussion of aspects of each kind of research and statistical approach. Workbook pretty thorough." -- Kevin E. Lawson "The simplicity and relevance of the supplemental materials built in to illustrate the concepts are the key strengths of this text." -- Malaika Brown About the Author Kathrynn (Kathy) A.
