¿ Prepares students to conduct their first empirical research study, with quantitative and qualitative methods covered in detail. Common features as well as differences between the two research approaches are explored. ¿ While theoretical material is included, the emphasis is on providing practical, easy-to-follow advice on how to conduct a first research project. ¿ Unlike most texts with hypothetical examples, this text-with real examples written by a variety of published researchers-makes research methods come alive. Students see how research methods are used to explore important, contemporary problems. ¿ Factual Questions at the end of each chapter help students review key concepts covered in the chapters. ¿ Questions for Discussion encourage students to consider specific techniques and strategies that they might use while conducting their research.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
