Описание: Media and Communication provides a clear and accessible introduction to key research methods, approaches and tools available for the study of media and communication processes. It provides a new focus on current topics, such as `ethics,` `research questions,` and `markets and corporate trends,` and adopts a considerably more global perspective.
A practical guide to using modern software effectively in quantitative research in the social and natural sciences.
This book offers a practical guide to the computational methods at the heart of most modern quantitative research. It will be essential reading for research assistants needing hands-on experience; students entering PhD programs in business, economics, and other social or natural sciences; and those seeking quantitative jobs in industry. No background in computer science is assumed; a learner need only have a computer with access to the Internet. Using the example as its principal pedagogical device, the book offers tried-and-true prototypes that illustrate many important computational tasks required in quantitative research. The best way to use the book is to read it at the computer keyboard and learn by doing.
The book begins by introducing basic skills: how to use the operating system, how to organize data, and how to complete simple programming tasks. For its demonstrations, the book uses a UNIX-based operating system and a set of free software tools: the scripting language Python for programming tasks; the database management system SQLite; and the freely available R for statistical computing and graphics. The book goes on to describe particular tasks: analyzing data, implementing commonly used numerical and simulation methods, and creating extensions to Python to reduce cycle time. Finally, the book describes the use of LaTeX, a document markup language and preparation system.

Описание:
Doing Educational Research in Rural Settings is a much-needed guidefor educational researchers whose research interests are located outside metropolitan areas in places that are generically considered to be rural. This book is both timely and important as it takes up the key question of how to conduct educational research within and for rural communities. It explores the impact of educational research in such contexts in terms of the lasting good of research and also those being researched.
The authorship is international, which brings together researchers experienced in conducting educational inquiry in rural places from across European, Australian, American, and Canadian contexts, allowing readers insight into national and regional challenges. It also draws on the research experiences and methodological challenges faced by senior figures in the field of rural educational research, as well as those in their early careers.
Key topics include:
Working with and within the rural;
The impact of educational globalisation and the problematisation of cultural difference in social research;
Researcher subjectivities;
The position of education research in rural contexts;
The usefulness of research
Reciprocity and converging interest;
Ethics and confidentiality.
This book is uniquely written with an eye to practicality and applicability, and will be an engaging guide for higher degree and doctoral students seeking to gain a stronger understanding of educational research in rural settings.

Описание: "Research Methods for Social Psychology" teaches students to think like an experimental social psychologist. Striking a balance between theoretical
sophistication and hands-on activities and exercises, this engaging text offers a friendly approach to methodology and a successful means of motivating students to design and execute
their own social psychological research. This book presents active learning activities on social psychology in each chapter, as well as thought exercises at the end of each
chapter.
It offers guidance on developing social psychology research topics, advice on ethics reviews of research projects, instructions on how to design independent and
dependent variables, and assistance with performing a post-experimental interviews with participants. There is a stand alone chapter on basic data analysis, in addition to directions for
putting statistical results into words. It offers guidance on writing APA-style summaries of social psychology experiments, as well as giving oral and poster presentations; includes a
sample annotated APA-style lab report.
It contains instructor test bank with questions and answers for each chapter available at the website.
