Download or read book Validity and the Research Process written by David Brinberg and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers in the social sciences are often in fundamental disagreement about what constitutes validity. Much emphasis has been given to increasing validity through the application of various techniques. Brinberg and McGrath point out that research is not advanced by these diverse concepts of validity nor the uniform stress on technical applications to attain it. Instead, they propose a new way of viewing validity issues -- an abstract and complex set of logical relationships that they call the Validity Network Schema, or VNS. In essence, VNS distinguishes between three 'domains' of the research process (substantive, conceptual, and methodological) and three 'stages' of it (validity as value, validity as correspondence, and validity as robustness). The authors draw their examples from their own areas of expertise: social psychology, consumer behaviour, and organizational research. They present a comprehensive view of the research process that ties together previously separate views of validity. Glossaries at the end of each chapter ensure that the VNS terminology is clearly understood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical resource gives academic librarians and school media specialists a complete instructional program for introducing students to the process of library research. The program has been tested and proven as an exceptionally effective method for guiding students in independent learning using library resources.

Seven basic steps of the research process are identified and described. Ready-to-use activities with worksheets are provided to help students achieve the specific task to be accomplished at each stage. In many ways the book is more timely than when the first edition was published in 1985.

Download or read book Nitrogen fixation research progress written by H.J. Evans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Symposium, held August 4-10, 1985 on the campus of Oregon State University in Corvallis, is the sixth of a series of international symposia concerned with broad aspects of the fixation of nitrogen gas by biological and chemical means. The first symposium of this series was held in Pullman, Washington (1974), the second in Salamanca, Spain (1976), the third in Madison, Wisconsin (1978), the fourth in Canberra, Australia (1980) and the fifth in Noordwij~erhout, The Netherlands (1983). Prior to the organization of these symposia, small groups of usually no more than 10 or 12 of the now "old guard" in the field met in some obscure places, including Butternut Lake, Wisconsin, Sanabel Island, Florida and Camp Sage hen in California, to discuss developments in the field. Concern about an energy crisis in the nineteen seventies served as an impetus for the organization of workshops and preparatiol. of publications urging government agencies to provide funds for the support of several neglected areas in the field, including the genetics of nitrogen-fixing organisms and the biology of Frankia. In looking back, it becomes apparent that there have been drastic changes in the extent of research support in the field and in the contents of the programs of the continuing series of symposia.
