内容説明
* Provides step-by-step instructions for students who will be writing their first research proposal in the social and behavioral sciences.
* Each major section is divided into short topics. For each topic, students complete an exercise that leads them toward the goal of preparing a proposal.
* Numerous examples throughout the book make the recommendations for proposal writing come alive.
* The model proposals at the end of the book illustrate proposal writing and provide material for classroom discussions.
* Provides concrete guidance for students who will be writing proposals for both quantitative and qualitative research.
* The structure of this book enables students to work independently with confidence while writing the first drafts of their proposals.
* All steps in proposal writing are clearly described and illustrated.
* Ideal for use in:
* research methods classes where students write a proposal as a term project,
* thesis/dissertation preparation classes,
* senior research seminars where proposing and conducting research is a culminating undergraduate activity, and
* any graduate-level seminar in which the instructor wants to incorporate a project that will engage students in critical thinking about the content area.
* Written by our best-selling author, Mildred L. Patten. Your students will appreciate her clear and informative style.
