The ability to read published research critically is essential and is
different from the skills involved in undertaking research using statistical
analysis. This New Edition of Thomas R Black's best-selling text explains in
clear and straightforward terms how students can evaluate research, with
particular emphasis on research involving some aspect of measurement. The
coverage of fundamental concepts is comprehensive and supports topics
including research design, data collection and data analysis by addressing the
following major issues: Are the questions and hypotheses advanced appropriate
and testable? Is the research design sufficient for the hypothesis? Is the
data gathered valid, reliable and objective? Are the statistical techniques
used to analyze the data appropriate and do they support the conclusions
reached?
Each of the chapters from the New Edition has been thoroughly updated, with
particular emphasis on improving and increasing the range of activities for
students. As well, coverage has been broadened to include: a wider range of
research designs; a section on research ethics; item analysis; the definition
of standard deviation with a guide for calculation; the concept of `power' in
statistical inference; calculating correlations; and a description of the
difference between parametric and non-parametric tests in terms of research
questions.
Understanding Social Science Research: An Introduction 2nd Edition will be key
reading for undergraduate and postgrduate students in research methodology and
evaluation across the social sciences.
