Test Yourself: Research Methods and Design in Psychology provides essential learning and practice through assessment for psychology students. It enables year 1 and 2 undergraduates to assess their confidence and competence and tackle the types of questions they will face in their formal university assessments.
The book includes over 200 multiple-choice and extended multiple-choice questions, designed to assess depth of knowledge. At the end of each chapter sample essay questions are provided, plus further guidance, to complement the multiple-choice questions and further test understanding. Information is provided to help students make sense of their results and identify strengths and weaknesses.
Essential learning and practice through assessment for all undergraduates with a research methods and design component to their psychology course.Also may be useful for international students on a separate MSc course. Relevant to our own methods and examining research methods that I teach. I didn't find the flow charts particularly useful, but I do agree that making links across chapters is a good idea.Learning through assessment is a great concept. I will be using this text and recommending it to studens on the Introduction to Research Methods Module.This is a good book, but I dont think that I will be adding it to my required reading list. I would rather my students read something more comprehensive.This book reflects a very poor understanding of and perspective on research methods and design - the whole School of Psychology here at Keele was surprised by the low quality and misapprehensions apparent in this text.A very good textbook to support undergraduate psychology students who might be nervous about learning new concepts. This textbook is reader friendly and covers almost all undergraduate students need to know regarding research methods.Good self assessment materialsBrilliant little book with plenty of ideas for MCQs for year 1 undergraduate psychl³?
