Description

Discovering the Scientist Within is unique in the way it teaches students about research methods using a case study approach. Each chapter presents students with a single study described from start to finish. Chapters start by asking students to consider a scenario and then walk them through the steps of the study: formulating a research question, performing a literature review, constructing a data collection method, considering ethics, refining the method, gathering data, and understanding and reporting the statistical results. Students come away with a practical understanding of the research process and useful practice in the basic steps that comprise all studies.
