Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In this thoroughly updated new edition of one of the few Canadian research methods texts published for undergraduate courses, sufficient information is provided to give students an inclusive, generous view of the full range of social science approaches and research designs, both quantitative and qualitative.

 

Some features of the 4^th edition:

 

• Special emphasis is given to helping students ‘learn-by-doing’, with practical steps, rules, and procedures to guide those engaged in small-scale research projects and report writing.
• In the “Social Researchers at Work” boxes and the new “Student Researchers at Work” boxes, the authors provide many relevant and interesting examples of actual research, mostly Canadian, by professional social scientists and by students.
• A new chapter, Critical Approaches to Research, addresses applied research, introducing institutional ethnography, action research and feminist research, and reflecting current academic trends in Canada.
• An appendix explains how to process data using SPSS .
