Active Learning Exercises for Research Methods in Social Sciences


Welcome to the Instructor Teaching Site

About the Book

Based on the premise that when students do something instead of simply reading about it, they understand it better, this book is composed of 29 hands-on, active learning activities for use in research methods courses in the social sciences. Research Methods can be a daunting class for students and this book is designed to help alleviate that stress and help them become active learners.

The activities were created by instructors throughout the country and demonstrated to be effective in their classrooms. A variety of activities is included: group activities, solo activities, some that take a lot of time and some that take less time. Each one of them is directly related to a concept of research methods and aims to help students become better researchers.
