Educational Research (0470139102) cover image

  • Each chapter begins with a Key Idea. Key Ideas act as an organising mechanism and give the big picture of that chapter.
  • Beginning in Chapter 2, there are writing activities and open-ended questions that allow students to write questions or what they are thinking about the topic at that point. Other activities are designed to help think critically or to critique.              
  • In-Text Activities encourage students to stop to write down what they are working on, such as their research question, review of literature, or potential sample. These activities are designed to help develop research and act as a running record of thoughts at any given moment.
  • Each chapter concludes with an Arm Chair Moment in order to discuss in depth a specific topic that has troubled students in our classes. The Arm Chair Moment is a less formal conversation about a topic in the chapter, and is similar to a conversation one may have with a colleague, professor, or peer.
  • Case Study examples have been created for students to follow from chapter to chapter to see how the decisions made, related to the material in the chapter, in a research study affect everything else.
