Methods Coach Learning Through Practice

By Lance W. Roberts, Karen M. Kampen, Tracey Peter, et al.

A companion volume to core research methods texts, The Methods Coach: Learning Through Practice helps students bridge the 'knowing-doing gap'. That is, while core texts help students understand research methods, the coaching program in this supplementary volume helps students do research methods. The three-part structure of each lab-a 'tune-up', a lab application, and constructive feedback-optimizes students' ability to apply and practise the theories, concepts, and techniques presented in introduction to research methods courses. As a result, The Methods Coach offers much more than conventional study guides, which instead tend to focus on learning comprehension via chapter summaries, review of major concepts, and sample test questions.
