Writing up Quantitative Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences: Teaching Writing, cartea 6
Autor Marianne Fallonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2015
After reinforcing foundations in methodology, statistics, and writing in the first section of the book, emerging researchers work through a series of questions to construct their research report. The final section contains sample papers generated by undergraduates illustrating three major forms of quantitative research—primary data collection, secondary data analysis, and content analysis.
Writing up Quantitative Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences is appropriate for research methods classes in communication, criminology or criminal justice, economics, education, political science, psychological science, social work, and sociology. Individual students and novice researchers can also read the book as a supplement to any course or research experience that requires writing up quantitative data.

Recenzii
“Fallon brings much-needed accessibility to the daunting world of quantitative methods. Filled with contemporary references to pop culture—including sports, music, and television—key concepts are creatively introduced. Succinct, humorous, and thoughtfully organized, Writing up Quantitative Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences breaks the mold for teaching novice researchers how to effectively communicate their work.”—Diana Cohen, Associate Professor of Political Science, Central Connecticut State University
“This book covers the ‘how to’ of writing research projects in a highly engaging manner. Graduate students who are preparing to work on their master’s thesis will get a lot out of this book. Undergraduates doing a thesis or a capstone project will also find this book very helpful. Instructors teaching research methods in the social sciences will find this book makes a useful course companion.”—Damon Mitchell, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Central Connecticut State University
“Many college students have scarce opportunities to practice professional writing, especially research projects involving data analysis. This text will be a very helpful resource for undergraduate and graduate students in the social and behavioral sciences that need to complete such writing assignments. Using an intuitive and humorous approach, the author provides valuable advice on writing up statistical results across different disciplines; however, the author also dispenses much needed wisdom on how to approach the completion of a large written project, including the avoidance of procrastination and the importance of revision. Modern research often involves working with others trained in disciplines different from one’s own. Social and behavioral scientists working on interdisciplinary research teams will also find this book very helpful.”—Brian Osoba, Associate Professor of Economics, Central Connecticut State University
“Kudos to Fallon for writing a very thorough and readable foundational text for beginning researchers! Fallon’s inclusion of humor, relatable examples, andconversational style invites students to face their fears as they embark on their early forays into research. In addition to providing a step-by-step guide to preparing and writing a manuscript, students are provided with the tools to think more positively about their personal abilities. The inclusion of information about Dweck’s Mindset theory as well as the findings of Tough regarding the role of character in being successful in one’s endeavors offer students cognitive tools to approach the task. My personal favorite is Chapter 3, because it provides what I’ve never seen in another textbook—the actual process of writing. The myths, the rules, and the bare hand approach address the foundational issues of writing that interfere with the ability to write anything. The examples of actual student papers at the end of the text provide students the opportunity to examine the work their peers rather than the work of more experienced scholars. I will definitely recommend this text to my colleagues who teach writing and research courses!”—Linda Behrendt, Associate Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, Indiana State University
“I teach a research course for undergraduate seniors where they need to write an APA-style research report. Fallon conveys challenging concepts in a clear, meaningful, and engaging manner. The review of methods and statistics at the beginning of the text is particularly useful and the advice offered to emerging writers is extremely helpful and will encourage those struggling to improve. The examples throughout the book are outstanding; they are relevant, descriptive, and varied. The sample papers are excellent models for emerging researchers navigating their first report.”—Caitlin Brez, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Indiana State University
“Writing up Quantitative Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences is not your typical book. It is a MUST HAVE handbook for students in the social and behavioral sciences, laying out a clear review of the research process, hints for success, tips for good writing, and excellent examples of outstanding student papers in several different areas. Faculty in psychological science, sociology, economics, criminology, political science, and communications need this text for their students!”—Carolyn Fallahi, Professor of Psychological Science, Central Connecticut State University
