Riassunto

This volume provides a basic foundation for understanding and doing research in various human services fields. The authors consider the theory and methodology for setting up a research study, explaining the `scientific method′ and establishing a basic vocabulary. They guide the reader through the initial steps of the research process: defining a researchable problem, surveying the literature and selecting a sampling strategy. Finally, they present a `how-to′ approach for collecting data and selecting a research design.

Together with its companion volume Implementing the Research Plan the book provides the basic elements needed to participate in research.
