ReviewsMy learners really enjoyed the SAGE Vantage experience. Many of them said it forced them to read, which aided in their comprehension...The feedback I received is that they all really enjoyed the interactive nature of the program, as well as the [number] of activities..., Studying children and youth has never been more important than today and Sigmund Gronmos Social Research Methods (2nd edition) is the text I use to introduce my students on the chronological and methodological hows and whys of doing research. Not only are ethical considerations included, but also Gronmos has two engaging and well-written chapters on asking and answering questions in new areas of child research as well tips for teaching my students how to present research once their assignments are completed. Social Research Methods lays the foundation for my students to continue working on their research topics in fourth-year independent and post-graduate studies., This second edition remains an important resource for students. Everything is covered! From asking the right questions to learning about using digital tools or developing different ways of writing and presenting research. Extra resources in each chapter, including contemporary case studies, will equip students with everything they need to know about doing social research., This is a must-have. Sigmund Grønmos book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to contemporary social research approaches, designs and methods. This second edition includes timely and valuable new materials; particularly those on comparisons and combinations when collecting and analysing data. Like the first edition, this one will go straight to my reference bookshelf ... and onto all my major course reading lists., "This is a must-have.

This book however provides a rather apt account of society and contextualises the use of research methods in a rather effective manner.

Extra resources in each chapter, including contemporary case studies, will equip students with everything they need to know about doing social research. -- Ruth McAreavey, This is the smoothest student onboarding process I have ever experienced. Everything is syncing and the students were able to figure things out with almost no help from me., Student performance after implementing Vantage is incredible...this is a really tangible way to see that., I have used every other major digital platform that exists, and I can say that Vantage has no equal., It really helps you wrap your head around what youre learningand come to a complete understanding of the course material., Research methods manuals are often too technical and devoid of any real-life examples. This book however provides a rather apt account of society and contextualises the use of research methods in a rather effective manner.
