This user-friendly book provides a step-by-step guide to using the five major approaches to Research design: quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, arts-based, and community-based participatory research.
The book also includes a general introduction to social research; an in-depth, practical discussion of ethics; and a chapter on how to begin a Research study, from planning a topic to developing a Research question via a literature review..
Unique coverage includes hot topics: replication studies and data sharing, tailoring proposals to different audiences, and more.
Interdisciplinary Research examples draw on current events and social justice topics.
Terminology commonly used within each approach is identified, and key moments of ethical decision making are flagged.
Chapters on each approach follow a unique format--they present a template for a Research proposal and explain in detail how to conceptualize and fill in every section.
