100 Questions (and Answers) About Research Methods

• Neil J. Salkind
• Description

"How do I create a good research hypothesis?"

"How do I know when my literature review is finished?"

"What is the difference between a sample and a population?"

"What is power and why is it important?"

In an increasingly data-driven world, it is more important than ever for students as well as professionals to better understand the process of research. This invaluable guide answers the essential questions that students ask about research methods in a concise and accessible way.

"This is a concise text that has good coverage of the basic concepts and elementary principles of research methods. It picks up where many traditional research methods texts stop and provides additional discussion on some of the hardest to understand concepts."

"I think it’s a great idea for a text (or series), and I have no doubt that the majority of students would find it helpful. The material is presented clearly, and it is easy to read and understand. My favorite example from those provided is on p. 7 where the author provides an actual checklist for evaluating the merit of a study. This is a great tool for students and would provide an excellent “practice” approach to learning this skill. Over time students wouldn’t need a checklist, but I think it would be invaluable for those students with little to no research experience."

I already am using 3 other books. This is a good book though.

Did not meet my needs

I had heard good things about Salkind's statistics book and wanted to review his research book as well. The 100 questions format is cute, and may provide a quick answer to a specific student question. However, it's not really organized in a way that I find particularly useful for a more integrated course that progressively develop and builds upon concepts.

comes across as a little disorganized, plus a little too focused on psychology and statistics.

This text is a great resource guide for graduate students. But it may not work as well with undergraduates orienting themselves to the research process. However, I will use it as a recommended text for students.

Key Features

· The entire research process is covered from start to finish: Divided into nine parts, the book  guides readers from the initial asking of questions, through the analysis and interpretation of data, to the final report

· Each question and answer provides a stand-alone explanation: Readers gain enough information on a particular topic to move on to the next question, and topics can be read in any order

· Most questions and answers supplement others in the book: Important material is reinforced, and connections are made between the topics

· Each answer ends with referral to three other related questions: Readers are shown where to go for additional information on the most closely related topics

Research Methods in Early Childhood: An Introductory Guide

Student resources, multiple choice quiz.

Test your understanding of each chapter by taking the quiz below. Click anywhere on the question to reveal the answer. Good luck!

1. What is an abstract?

• A short footnote in the text of your work
• A chance to acknowledge those who have helped you in your research project, placed at the beginning of the written-up project
• A brief resume of the study to entice the reader to read more
• An introduction to the research

2. What should always be included in an introduction?

• Detail of your research findings
• Your interview schedule (or detail of any other research instruments)
• A rationale for conducting the study and key research questions
• Recommendations for early childhood practice in detail

3. What is a literature review?

• A place to provide autobiographic detail
• A place to outline all the reading you have done in your studies
• A place to link your reading to your research findings
• A place to discuss literature which helps to frame your study

4. Where is a literature review typically found in written-up research?

• Before the methodology chapter
• After the findings chapter
• In the appendices
• Integrated into the data analysis

5. What would you expect to find in a methodology chapter in a piece of empirical research?

• Detail of the methodological approach taken
• Detail of the methods employed
• Detail of ethical considerations linked to the research project
• All of the above

6. Should data and discussion of data be presented as two separate chapters?

• Never. They are inappropriate for early childhood research
• Always. Students tend to undertake qualitative research projects
• Possibly, depending on the kind of research undertaken and tutor advice
• Possibly, depending if there is time to complete two chapters as opposed to one larger chapter

7. What should a conclusion chapter contain?

• A sense of the research story
• A summary of the key findings
• Reflection on what these findings mean
• Discussion of possible implications for practice or future research

8. Having read the chapter, what do Mukherji and Albon advise in relation to using ‘I’ when writing up research?

• You should always use the personal pronoun when writing up research as it reflects that it is a personal piece of work
• Writing seems far too ‘chatty’ if you use ‘I’ when writing. In order to write academically use of ‘I’ should always be avoided
• If talking about the decisions you made in research and your own viewpoint, it is hard to avoid use of ‘I’ and it does not necessarily mean lack of academic tone if used judiciously (but do ask your tutor!)
• You could be in danger of failing a module if you use the personal pronoun in your work. You will never see academic journal articles using ‘I’
