Instructor’s Manual for Neuman and Robson, Basics of Social Research Second Canadian Edition PREFACE This instructor’s manual has been prepared for use with Basics of Social Research: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches, Second Canadian Edition. It provides instructors with an outline of content for discussing and reviewing chapter material with students, including a list of major chapter topics and chapter learning objectives.

The manual also provides information about the testbank that accompanies the text, in both Microsoft Word and Pearson MyTest formats. Two charts, one for essay and one for multiple-choice questions, show the chapter topic, chapter objective, and skill being tested.

Some skills are very general and others are specific and closely linked to specific objectives.

A list of 50 student skills is provided on the following pages, with a broad classification using Bloom’s Taxonomy of six cognitive learning objectives. Some questions test multiple skills, but only the dominant one is listed. No test questions are classified as being at the two highest levels Bloom’s taxonomy—synthesis and evaluation. These higher level skills are best developed in students and evaluated by instructors through in-depth research papers, research projects, or similar learning activities.

The testbank itself features vocabulary, essay, and multiple-choice questions for each of the 16 chapters of the textbook. Each question is accompanied by the following information: 1. Approximate difficulty level 1–9, with 9 being the most difficult 2. A learning objective tied to content material of a specific chapter 3. General student skill development 4. Reference page(s) in the textbook 5. The general chapter topic that is covered

New to this edition, MyResearchKit offers a variety of resources to complement and expand the material in the text: • • •

Self-grading practice tests help students assess their strengths and weaknesses for targeted study.

MySearchLab gives students extensive help with both research and writing and provides round-the-clock access to credible and reliable source material.

Videos and supplementary topics support and expand on the discussions in the text.

Students receive an access code with the purchase of a new textbook; contact your Pearson sales representative for instructor access.
