Описание:
This text starts by explaining the fundamental goal of good political science research the ability to answer interesting and important questions by generating valid inferences about political phenomena. Before the text even discusses the process of developing a research question, the authors introduce the reader to what it means to make an inference and the different challenges that social scientists face when confronting this task. Only with this ultimate goal in mind will students be able to ask appropriate questions, conduct fruitful literature reviews, select and execute the proper research design, and critically evaluate the work of others.
The authors' primary goal is to teach students to critically evaluate their own research designs and others and analyze the extent to which they overcome the classic challenges to making inference: internal and external validity concerns, omitted variable bias, endogeneity, measurement, sampling, and case selection errors, and poor research questions or theory. As such, students will not only be better able to conduct political science research, but they will also be more savvy consumers of the constant flow of causal assertions that they confront in scholarship, in the media, and in conversations with others.
Three themes run through Barakso, Sabet, and Schaffner s text: minimizing classic research problems to making valid inferences, effective presentation of research results, and the nonlinear nature of the research process. Throughout their academic years and later in their professional careers, students will need to effectively convey various bits of information. Presentation skills gleaned from this text will benefit students for a lifetime, whether they continue in academia or in a professional career.
Several distinctive features make this book noteworthy:
A common set of examples threaded throughout the text give students a common ground across chapters and expose them to a broad range of subfields in the discipline.
Box features throughout the book illustrate the nonlinear, "non-textbook" reality of research, demonstrate the often false inferences and poor social science in the way the popular press covers politics, and encourage students to think about ethical issues at various stages of the research process.
A companion website that gives students additional opportunities to fine tune their understanding of the book s material.

Описание: The book makes a valuable addition to the field...providing a very useful resource for those evaluating, engaging in, or embarking on, research′ - Monika Buscher, Department of Sociology, Lancaster University
This book provides a discussion of qualitative research methods from an ethnomethodological perspective. Detailed yet concise, Paul ten Have′s text explores the complex relation between the more traditional methods of qualitative social research and the discipline of ethnomethodology. It draws on examples from both ethnomethodological studies and the wider field of qualitative research to discuss critically an array of methods for qualitative data collection and analysis.
Key features of the book include:
- A broad coverage - includes discussions of interviewing, the use of documents, ethnography, and methods of data analysis
- An understanding of different research traditions and illustrations of how these may be used in practice
- Concise chapter summaries and further reading sections to aid student learning
With a student-friendly structure, this engaging book will be an invaluable resource for both students and researchers across the social sciences.

Описание: Educational research is widely believed to be essentially empirical, consisting of research techniques such as statistics, interviewing, or randomised control trials. This book argues that good research in education needs the rigorous thinking characteristic of philosophy, and that philosophical treatments themselves sometimes constitute such research.
