Beskrivning

This introductory text presents basic principles of social science research through maps, graphs, and diagrams. The authors show how concept maps and mind maps can be used in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research, using student-friendly examples and classroom-based activities. Integrating theory and practice, chapters show how to use these tools to plan research projects, "see" analysis strategies, and assist in the development and writing of research reports.

Recensioner i media

A bit overwrought. Also, the way it talks about students makes it clear it is only meant for instructors. Frankly my students would be insulted by some of the assumptions asserted about students. Also, it′s approach to concept mapping is quite a bit different than mine, which is more using it as a pragmatic tool for organizing thinking, research and planning practical action, not so much for generating data.
