Special emphasis is provided for conducting research in culturally complex communities, based on the perspectives of feminists, ethnic/racial minorities, and people with disabilities. Each chapter carefully explains a step of the research process from literature review to analysis and reporting. Additionally, sample studies and abstracts are included in each chapter to illustrate the concepts discussed in that section of the book./p pNow in its strongSecond Edition, Research and Evaluation in Education and Psychology/strong: strongIntegrating Diversity with Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods/strong is perfect as a core text for research courses in departments of education, psychology, and sociology, as well as social work and other human services disciplines.

Este libro... es una muy buena guia para dar el curso de metodologia o para aquellos que inician una investigacion en psicologia.... El ingles es de facil comprension. Lo que posibilita a los estudiantes de habla hispana entender el lenguaje con relativa facilidad....
