This book was released on 2009 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What are the common pitfalls experienced by school researchers, and how can those pitfalls be avoided? This edited volume draws on the collective expertise of both established and emerging names in the field, providing an unparalleled resource for those interested in conducting psychological research within school settings. First and foremost, the contributors offer a framework for conceptualizing rigorous research collaboratively with schools, instead of on or in them, by emphasizing the participation of administrators, teachers, and parents. With detailed information on how to build and maintain research programs and avoid common problems, this volume includes insights from both researchers and the education professionals with whom they collaborate. Organized to reflect the research process from beginning to end, the chapters examine first how to initiate and nurture relationships with school stakeholders, move next to improving research design and methodology, and conclude with how to best disseminate research findings to scholars, practitioners, and study participants. Conducting Science-Based Psychology Research in Schools is an essential tool for courses on research methods and school-based research in fields ranging from psychology to education, social work, and family and human development"--Jacket.

Download or read book Validity in Educational and Psychological Assessment written by Paul Newton and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Validity is the hallmark of quality for educational and psychological measurement. But what does quality mean in this context? And to what, exactly, does the concept of validity apply? These apparently innocuous questions parachute the unwary inquirer into a minefield of tricky ideas. This book guides you through this minefield, investigating how the concept of validity has evolved from the nineteenth century to the present day. Communicating complicated concepts straightforwardly, the authors answer questions like: What does ′validity′ mean? What does it mean to ′validate′? How many different kinds of validity are there? When does validation begin and end? Is reliability a part of validity, or distinct from it? This book will be of interest to anyone with a professional or academic interest in evaluating the quality of educational or psychological assessments, measurements and diagnoses.

Download or read book Handbook of Educational Psychology and Students with Special Needs written by Andrew J. Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Educational Psychology and Students with Special Needs provides educational and psychological researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, and graduate students with critical expertise on the factors and processes relevant to learning for students with special needs. This includes students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, other executive function difficulties, behavior and emotional disorders, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, dyslexia, language and communication difficulties, physical and sensory disabilities, and more. With the bulk of educational psychology focused on "mainstream" or "typically developing" learners, relatively little educational psychology theory, research, measurement, or practice has attended to students with "special needs." As clearly demonstrated in this book, the factors and processes studied within educational psychology—motivation and engagement, cognition and neuroscience, social-emotional development, instruction, home and school environments, and more—are vital to all learners, especially those at risk or disabled. Integrating guidance from the DSM-5 by the American Psychiatric Association and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) by the World Health Organization, this book synthesizes and builds on existing interdisciplinary research to establish a comprehensive case for effective psycho-educational theory, research, and practice that address learners with special needs. Twenty-seven chapters by experts in the field are structured into three parts on diverse special needs categories, perspectives from major educational psychology theories, and constructs relevant to special needs learning, development, and knowledge building.
