Sage Publishing Single-Case Designs For Applied Research by Kennedy
Single-Case Designs for Applied Research by Craig Kennedy helps readers explore single-subject research designs, grounded in real-world examples drawn from classic and contemporary research in education and beyond. This text aims to give readers precise and highly applicable information and concepts in single-case, or single-subject, designs so readers can apply this knowledge to their own research and practice. By focusing on the experimental nature of this design, students learn about the purposes of single-case research so they can adapt the designs, using them as tools in their methodological toolboxes rather than as formulas to be followed. Beginning with an overview of experiments, single-case designs, and strategic issues, the book then moves onto a review of measurement approaches, different tactics for research designs, and ways to understand data and analysis. Boxed features throughout offer readers more explanation and background of key methodological concepts. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter help students reinforce their knowledge. This brief text concisely and thoroughly covers the landscape of single-case designs.
