This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States. Opportunities to read and evaluate published research. Exemplary articles, originally published in peer-reviewed journals, are included in the introductory and all research methods chapters. Annotations guide the reader to understand and evaluate qualitative and quantitative research. (See pages 231-239 and 251-265 for examples.) Step-by-step guidance on an individual research project. End-of-chapter Tasks are included in many chapters to guide readers through the process of conducting and writing about their own research. (See pages 89, 137, 191, and 215 for examples.) Support for writing. The new Write Like a Researcher feature encourages new researchers to start writing early in the research process and provides practical guidance to help them write effectively. (See pages 109 and 151 for examples.) Technology tools and applications. The Digital Research Tools for the 21st Century feature introduces technology tools researchers can use to make the process of doing research more efficient and effective, like using speech recognition programs to save time transcribing interviews. (See pages 100-101 and 202-203 for examples.)
