Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Researcher's Toolkit is a practical rather than an academic text for all those undertaking, perhaps for the first time, small-scale research. Written by an experienced team of practising researchers, it covers the entire research process - from designing and submitting a research proposal through to its completion. This book is suitable for all researchers, but is particularly designed for those practitioner-based researchers from the fields of education, social work, nursing, criminal justice and community work. This fresh new idea for those conducting small-scale research comes from a team of practising researchers who possess a broad range of experiences and knowledge of research design, execution and completion. They write in a user-friendly style that those researchers new to the subject will find easy to follow and understand. It will act both as a roadmap to planning, execution and completing research and also as a dip-in reference guide. Using features such as activity boxes to highlight key concepts and short summary boxes to indicate fundamental elements of the research area under discussion, this accessible book will be of great value to all who read it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing high quality grant applications is easier when you know how research funding agencies work and how your proposal is treated in the decision-making process. The Research Funding Toolkit provides this knowledge and teaches you the necessary skills to write high quality grant applications. A complex set of factors determine whether research projects win grants. This handbook helps you understand these factors and then face and overcome your personal barriers to research grant success. The guidance also extends to real-world challenges of grant-writing, such as obtaining the right feedback, dealing effectively with your employer and partner institutions, and making multiple applications efficiently. There are many sources that will tell you what a fundable research grant application looks like. Very few help you learn the skills you need to write one. The Toolkit fills this gap with detailed advice on creating and testing applications that are readable, understandable and convincing.

Book excerpt: This book facilitates the completion of action research studies by providing a series of tasks that guide action researchers from the beginning of a project and selecting a topic for study, to completion of the project and editing final reports. All too often, students and practicing professionals in professional development schools are overwhelmed by the thought of doing an action research project and resort to using quasi-experimental designs. A Toolkit for Action Research puts an end to both, with the result being a life-long learning and reflection tool for teachers. This workbook can be used alone, or in conjunction with traditional action research texts, such as Daniel Tomal's Action Research for Educators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DETA Research Toolkit (Kit), a new iteration, is a guide to support educators in designing research and evaluations of instructional, pedagogical, and technological practices designed, developed, and produced by Dr. Tanya Joosten and the team at the National Research Center for Distance Education and Technological Advancements (DETA). Kit includes Section a General Research Model, including desired outcomes, including access, learning effectiveness, instrumentation effectiveness, and satisfaction. Within the general model discussion, a framework of inquiry is presented with questions to research inform efforts. Kit contains guides to research (e.g., qualitative, quantitative) as well as the philosophical assumptions that guides those methodologies and how to report findings. Newer methodologies and reporting approaches popular in technology development are also included (e.g., UX research and evaluation, data visualization). Kit contains research tools, resources, and research models to get to the nitty gritty of research and evaluation work. These tools and resources include research planning and the ever so popular survey instrumentation packet and data codebook. New to this version is also a section on interview schedules. Other resources that will help you navigate privacy and ethics include human subjects, inform consent, and data sharing info. The research models included provide research questions or problems of practices, methodological design, research tools and instruments, and more. Topics include instruction design, student support, coaching, preparing students for digital learning, adaptive learning, and open education resources. Importantly, the toolkit includes a research and evaluation specific to understanding learning in response to the pandemic of 2020. For more information visit detaresearch.org.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will be the foundation of a research career inside and outside universities, in a modern world where efficiency and effectiveness are increasingly emphasised. Part A aims to help readers write their thesis and journal articles in an efficient way; it can be used for both quantitative and qualitative research reports. In the second chapter, this approach to thesis writing leads into a comprehensive guide to efficient article writing. In turn, Part B presents steps in three qualitative social science research methodologies that are particularly effective for unearthing findings about what humans actually do in work and other situations: case, interview and action research. Examples of how to carry out the methodologies are described.

This book was released on 2022-09-19 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A challenge in conducting pediatric research is selecting reliable, valid measurement protocols, across a range of domains, that are appropriate for the developmental level of the study population. The purpose of this report is to introduce the research community to the Pediatric Development Research Domain of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)–supported PhenX Toolkit (consensus measures for Phenotypes and eXposures). The PhenX Toolkit provides a catalog of recommended measurement protocols to address a wide range of research topics that are suitable for inclusion in a variety of study designs. In 2018, the Pediatric Development Working Group of experts identified 18 well-established protocols of pediatric development for inclusion in the Toolkit to complement existing protocols. Collectively, the protocols assess parenting, child care attendance and quality, peer relationships, home environment, neonatal abstinence, emotional and behavioral functioning, and other factors that influence child development. The Toolkit provides detailed data collection protocols, data dictionaries, and worksheets to help investigators incorporate these protocols into their study designs. Using standard protocols in studies with pediatric participants will support consistent data collection, improve data quality, and facilitate cross-study analyses to ultimately improve child health.
