The text is also useful for applied researchers who need advice on how to analyze their own data and summarize their empirical findings. Students in education and other disciplines need to learn how to interpret and use statistics and research, but often they do not have any way to begin this process. This text clearly and methodically presents basic statistical and research concepts and illustrates how to employ them in making sound educational decisions. Excerpts from more than 500 recent research articles are presented, analyzed, and discussed to illustrate concepts, while numerous cases, terms and review questions help guide the discussion.

Reading Statistics and Research, Fifth Edition
By Schuyler W. Huck
This text shows consumers of research how to read, understand, and critically evaluate the statistical information and research results contained in technical research reports.
The text is also useful for applied researchers who need advice on how to analyze their own data and summarize their empirical findings. Students in education and other disciplines need to learn how to interpret and use statistics and research, but often they do not have any way to begin this process. This text clearly and methodically presents basic statistical and research concepts and illustrates how to employ them in making sound educational decisions. Excerpts from more than 500 recent research articles are presented, analyzed, and discussed to illustrate concepts, while numerous cases, terms, and review questions help guide the discussion.
Features of this text include:
“I love this book. I first worked with an earlier edition when I was a doctoral student. I continue to share it with my own graduate students.”
–Bob Ives, University of Nevada, Reno

Features of this text include:
- More than 500 boxed excerpts from recent research articles (including tables, figures, and portions of textual material) illustrate concepts, good practice, and common mistakes.
- End-of-chapter summaries of two research studies in Research NavigatorTM (online component), each asking the reader to propose the study’s main finding.
- Discussion about the quality of research results as they relate to the quality of the data used in computer programs (“garbage in, garbage out” concerns).
- Repeated cautions that studies can yield statistical significance without showing anything that is significant in a practical (or “clinical”) sense.
- Many excerpts from studies having topics of likely interest to the reader (e.g., gossiping at work, students’ locus-of-control and GPA, ability to recall dreams).

Caracteristici
- More than 500 boxed excerpts from recent research articles (including tables, figures, and portions of textual material) illustrate concepts, good practice, and common mistakes. 497 of these excerpts were published after 2004, showing clearly how contemporary researchers analyze and interpret numerical data.
- Author’s writing style is exceedingly clear and user-friendly for those with little or no technical background.
- End-of-chapter summaries of two research studies found in Research Navigator, with each summary asking the reader to guess the study’s main finding.
- Concern for quality of the data put into computer programs; otherwise, “garbage in, garbage out.”
- Repeated cautions that studies can yield statistical significance without showing anything whatsoever that’s significant in a practical (or “clinical”) sense.
- Many excerpts come from studies having topics of likely interest to the reader (e.g., gossiping at work; students’ locus-of-control and GPA; ability to recall dreams)
Caracteristici noi
- NEWEXCERPTS! Of the book’s 518 excerpts, 497 are new and published after 2004. Collectively, these excerpts show clearly how contemporary researchers analyze and interpret numerical data.
- A new chapter on MIXED METHODS STUDIES has been added in response to growing interest in combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
- Added emphasis on EFFECT SIZE. Tables appear in many chapters that show the criteria used to claim that an observed effect is small, medium or large.
- EXPANDED CONTENT COVERAGE. Some of 5e’s new topics: Tamhane’s post hoc test, interactions as predictor variables in multiple regression, Holm sequential Bonferroni adjustment procedure, overview of meta analysis.
- COMPANION WEBSITE–The very complete companion website has been updated. It includes interactive review quizzes covering 5e’s excerpts, chapter outlines, links to interactive websites, statistical poetry, links to full-text research articles, statistical jokes, and biographies of famous statisticians.
- Access to RESEARCH NAVIGATOR is included with every new textbook. This website offers a multitude of research articles as well as writing and citation assistance.
