How to read, evaluate, and use research / Sharon L. Nichols, Paul A. Schutz, and Sofia Bahena.

Introduction and overview -- Introduction and overview of data-driven articles -- Literature review -- Methods and results: quantitative approaches -- Methods and results: qualitative results -- Methods and results: mixed methods approaches -- Putting it all together-discussion, conclusions, and implications. "This text helps students learn how to select, read, understand, and evaluate the research they read. Many texts focus on the process of conducting research and not as much on how students in applied disciplines can assess and apply that research in their future professional lives; this text aims to fill that gap. Organized in the same way as a research article, the book includes a chapter on literature reviews and research questions, followed by three methods chapters (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods), and a chapter on research conclusions and implications. The book includes a wealth of pedagogical features including Learning Objectives, Check Your Understanding questions, a Guided Application exercise in each chapter, suggested further reading, and a glossary. Three research articles, used as exemplars throughout, are included in the appendix to the book"-- Amazon. Research Evaluation. Information literacy Study and teaching. Research.
