Note publique d'information : "Nothing rings truer to those teaching political science research methods: students
hate taking this course. Tackle the challenge and turn the standard research methods
teaching model on its head with Political Science Research in Practice. Akan Malici
and Elizabeth Smith engage students first with pressing political questions and then
demonstrate how a researcher has gone about answering them, walking through real political
science research that contributors have conducted. Through the exemplary use of survey
research, experiments, field research, case studies, content analysis, interviews,
document analysis, statistical research, and formal modeling, each chapter introduces
students to a method of empirical inquiry through a specific topic that will spark
their interest and curiosity. Each chapter shows the process of developing a research
question, how and why a particular method was used, and the rewards and challenges
discovered along the way. Students can better appreciate why we need a science of
politics-why methods matter-with these first-hand, issue-based discussions. The following
features make this an ideal teaching tool: An introductory chapter that succinctly
introduces key terms in research methodology Key terms bolded throughout and defined
in a glossary Broad coverage of the most important methods used in political science
research and the major subfields of the discipline A companion website designed to
foster online active learning An instructor's manual and testbank to help incorporate
this innovative text into your syllabus and assessment." Présentation de l'éditeur
