内容説明

What is social science research? How do you do it? What are the pitfalls? What are the tricks of the trade? Providing answers to these questions, this text serves as a reference for students who wish to develop their research skills and others embarking on research for the first time. Adopting a step-by-step approach, the authors clarify such issues as: how to isolate and define a problem; how to frame a hypothesis; how to choose and measure variables; how to choose a research design; how to select a sample. By asking students to grapple with fundamental questions, and by using case studies, they bring research theory and practice alive. The book is suitable for students taking courses in social science, social studies or education. This edition has been completely updated, and includes a new chapter on qualitative research, as well as vital information on using computers in social science research.
