Evaluating ResearchMethodology for People Who Need to Read Research

Francis C. Dane

Designed for anyone who needs to learn to read and understand empirical reports in the social and behavioral sciences, this multidisciplinary book provides individuals with the knowledge necessary to understand research without overwhelming them with information about how to conduct research. His enthusiasm for

methods present on every page, author Francis C. Dane wants readers to have the necessary skills to evaluate research and critically use empirical results.

Evaluating Research articles from start to finishthird Edition

Ellen R. Girden, Nova University, Miami

Robert Kabacoff

Although research design courses emphasize designs and appropriate statistical analyses, the stress is on conducting good designs. As a result,

students may be able to apply their knowledge of originating research. But most consumers of research read articles based on original research and may be unable to apply that same knowledge to evaluating the article in terms of soundness of the design and appropriateness of the statistical analyses. This book fills the void.

statistics alive!second Edition

Wendy J. Steinberg, University at Albany, SUNY

Based on years of first-hand teaching experience, Wendy J. Steinberg has created statistics alive!, the most user-friendly statistics text for students in the social and behavioral sciences, now in its second Edition. She believes that this audience can master basic statistics—especially the mechanics and the underlying logic of hypothesis testing—by employing a conceptual, modular approach without dumbing down the presentation. While this textbook includes must-have topics such as frequency distributions, hypothesis formation, and inferential statistics and bivariate regression, it also includes concepts of sampling error, significant differences, and Type 1 and Type 2 errors throughout.

“stretching” Exercises for Qualitative Researchersthird Edition

Valerie J. Janesick, University of South Florida

In this updated version of her innovative and distinctive book, “stretching” Exercises for Qualitative Researchers, author Valerie J. Janesick extends her dance and yoga metaphors to strengthen her argument that tapping

into one’s artistic side—the side that is more creative and less inhibited—is fundamental to realizing one’s potential as a qualitative researcher. With a focus on developing habits of mind through intuition and creativity, this third Edition provides a series of exercises that are both imaginative and immensely practical in helping students to see the artistic side of research and reflection. Thoroughly classroom-tested, these exercises demystify the research process and help researchers become more active observers, interviewers, and learners as they develop and critique their habits of observation, questioning, creativity, writing, and analysis.

the action Research guidebookA Four-Step Process for Educators, Leaders, and School Leadership Teams.second Edition

Richard Sagor, Washington State University

Teachers know their particular students, classroom, and schools intimately–therefore, they are best equipped to pick a particular problem (or research question) and then use qualitative or quantitative techniques for further study. The

book is organized around Sagor’s four stage process developed from his many years of experience training hundreds of educators: clarifying visions/targets, articulating theory, implementing action and collecting data, and reflecting on data and planning informed action.

critical EthnographyMethod, Ethics, and Performancesecond Edition

D. Soyini Madison, Northwestern University

critical Ethnography presents a fresh new look at critical ethnography by emphasizing the significance of ethics and performance in the art and politics of fieldwork. The book explores an ethics of ethnography while illustrating the relevance of performance ethnography across disciplinary boundaries. The productive links

between theory and method are celebrated in this text. Theoretical concepts range from queer theory, feminist theory, and critical race theory to Marxism and phenomenology. The methodological techniques range from designing and asking in-depth interview questions and developing rapport to coding and interpreting data. The various theories and methods culminate in three fictional ethnographic case studies that “enact” the interdependence between theory and method and the significance of social theory, ethics, and performance.

techniques of close ReadingBarry Brummett, The University of Texas at Austin

In a world in which messages increasingly ask us to believe, accept, buy, and follow, the ability to read texts closely in order to gain a deeper understanding of their meanings is an indispensable survival skill. This brief book provides students with this skill. Renowned scholar and professor Barry Brummett explains

and explores the various ways to “read” messages (such as speeches or magazine ads), teaching students how to see deeper levels of meaning and to share those insights with others.

Graeme Sullivan, Columbia University, Teachers College

Substantially updated and revised, art practice as Research, second Edition presents a compelling theory that the creative and cultural inquiry undertaken by artists is a form of

causalityfour-Volume set

Stephen Turner, University of South Florida

This four-volume major reference work covers the main issues, methods of analysis, and alternatives, of causality, including the classic texts applying these alternative concepts and methods to empirical cases. As a whole, the volumes represent a complete guide to the literature on social science causality from the beginning to the present.

Volume 1 explores the history and meaning of key terms: secular, secularism, secularity, secularization and laicity. It is primarily concerned with the philosophy and theology of the secular and examines the evolution of the debate from St Augustine’s two cities to contemporary writings and is not confined to Christian debate.

Volume 2 deals with the sociology of secularization and contains the classic statements by sociologists such as Max Weber, Georg Simmel, Bryan Wilson, David Martin, and Thomas Luckmann.

Volume 3 considers American exceptionalism. Much the debate in sociology has centered on the question of America’s differences from secular Europe. Religion and politics have been significantly interconnected in American history; America is a very special but influential case of secularization.

Volume 4 involves the comparative sociology of modern religious revivalism and the notion that we are in a post-secular society. The manifestations of religious revival in post-secular societies are truly global. This volume looks at the revival of world religions and popular religions such as spirit possession in the post-communist societies.

Representing EthnographyReading, Writing and Rhetoric in Qualitative Researchfour-Volume set

Paul Atkinson and Sara Delamont, Cardiff University, U.K.

Qualitative research, especially ethnography, has seen a paradigm shift since 1968. This so-called ‘Third Moment’ was concerned with the critical issue of the textual representation

of ethnographic work. There was a call for a turn towards texts that mirrored the messiness of social life, that were faithful to the many voices of social worlds, in which the artfulness of ethnographic writing was manifest and in which the ethnographer was visibly present in the text.

Qualitative Research methods in Educationfour-Volume set

Harry Torrance, Manchester Metropolitan University

This four-volume set is part of the Fundamentals of Applied Research series and sits alongside Stephen Gorard’s major reference collection Quantitative Research Methods in Education. It brings together seminal and cutting edge articles on qualitative research internationally, and shows

how the field has developed in influence in recent years. The use of qualitative research methods in educational research has a long and distinguished history, both in the UK and internationally. Importantly, this major reference collection reviews the ongoing debates and various issues about qualitative methods and the contribution they make to understanding educational issues. The set also comprises a timely analysis of the contribution which qualitative methods have made and can continue to make to understanding educational issues.
