This text brings research alive for educators by introducing readers to people who actually “do” research. Designed for courses focused solely on consuming, rather than conducting research, this text includes 13 actual research articles, reprinted in their entirety. The primary author of each article then offers original commentary on his/her piece. Through this format, the text presents a comprehensive explanation of the methodologies used by present-day researchers, data-collection challenges, and the meaning of the results. The book makes no assumptions about readersÕ prior knowledge of research or statistics. This text builds students’ confidence so that they are able to successfully read research reports and research synthesis.
