Pocket Glossary for Commonly Used Research Terms
A gem - fantastic resource for students and early career academics
But may use as an adjunct in the research methods course. Concise and accessible but a little too brief to use as a main text
So easy for students to follow!
An excellent glossary, very helpful for teaching an introduction to research methods to under-graduate social work students. Comprehensive, up to date and accessible.
Teaching Inquiry, Evidence and Inference (as introduction to scientific reasoning) in a New York State medium-security prison, through the extraordinary Bard Prison Initiative. As you might expect, internet access is severely limited. So the college ordered three or four copies of the Pocket Glossary for the prison Library, as a remarkably comprehensive mini-compendium of necessary terms and their meaning/use. Would have ask for sufficient number for all students, but too pricey.
cost to students for another book
The terminology, while quite complete, was more than the students in my masters level action research course required. I would consider this text again if I were teaching an introductory course for doctoral students.
A really useful source of reference for students new to research.
Not as thorough as could be. Many terms excluded.
An exellent reference book for anyone undertaking research. All key terminology is right there in one handy little book. I would highly recommend it
