Download or read book A Comprehensive Sociological Glossary with Examples and Study Questions written by Taron McKenzie and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe one way to help master a scientific discipline is to master its vocabulary. I have created this comprehensive glossary for that reason. Understanding the "language" of any scientific discipline allows students to understand the foundation on which all scientific knowledge for that discipline is built. I use this glossary to help students in my introductory class learn that sociological "language." This glossary was such a success in my introductory class, that I now that I now use it in all of my sociology courses. In addition to being quizzed on chapter material from a textbook, I also quiz my students over 15 to 30 words from the glossary for each chapter module. Students agree that the aforementioned practise leads to a better understanding of sociology on their part and a greater depth of sociological understanding. It is not easy to compile a glossary of sociological terms, concepts, and processes because the discipline is a living discipline unlike some other scientific areas of study. For instance, geologists might discover more components of a rock than previously thought, but the rock is still a rock and has not changed. Sociology on the other hand, by being a living discipline is always evolving-terms, theories, and processes come and go as the discipline adapts to the changing social world. Because of this, this glossary is ever-changing. As this is my first published edition, there will no doubt be a second, third, and further editions-each modified to reflect these changes of the living discipline of sociology.

Download or read book Deciphering Sociological Research written by Gerry Rose and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1982-06-10 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociological research methods are a key component of teaching and courses at all levels, yet courses often fail to catch light for lack of effective student books or provoke smouldering resentment from students at misplaced enthusiasm for recondite statistics. Gerry Rose's new book should go a long way to remedy these problems. It is a complete teaching course with a clear rationale and a distinctive approach to the topic, unblemished by epistemological or prescriptive polemic. Its method is to present through the analysis of twelve pieces of published research reprinted in the book the systematic deciphering of research in relation to the key issues of methodology. The first nine discursive chapters discuss the main research methods topics - including concepts and indicators, sampling, data analysis and the relationship of theory to evidence - balancing the problems of quantitative data with the treatment of qualitative data and fieldwork studies. The papers - shortened articles from British, US and Australian journals - are put through the methodological hoops and systematically compared and assessed. Additionally, each chapter is provided with a full set of exercises and the book also includes a glossary of terms. This straightforward and business-like book will be welcomed by all teachers and professional sociologists and also by social researchers who are concerned with examining or preparing research reports. Even authors and journal editors will find it provoking and useful.

Download or read book Sociology written by James M. Henslin and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapted from Henslin's best-selling comprehensive hardback text, Core Concepts provides in-depth coverage of ten high-priority topics that are the foundation of many introductory sociology courses. This unique paperback offers a concise and economical format without sacrificing depth of coverage. Unlike a brief or essentials text, the ten chapters that make up Core Concepts are not edited down from a longer book. Instead, they provide full coverage of those topics that instructors emphasize the most in a one-semester or one-term introductory sociology course. And like Henslin's other texts, it features the author's familiar down-to-earth approach and personal writing style that highlight the sociology of everyday life. With wit, personal reflection, and illuminating examples, Henslin shares with readers a passion for sociology unmatched by any other introductory text.
