Educational Research in an Age of Accountability

The book is designed to enable students to become intelligent consumers of educational research in order to help create effective and accountable learning environments. Written in a very clear and user-friendly style, this text focuses on understanding the intent of the researcher, the procedures, and the results so that students can use appropriate research findings to inform school change.

It balances quantitative and qualitative research methodology and discusses action research and mixed methods in detail. Principles for conducting research and criteria for evaluating its overall credibility are presented in a concise manner. Students are shown how to analyze and evaluate research, and judge the usefulness of the findings for educational practice. In addition, students are shown how this knowledge can translate to their own classrooms.

Educational Psychology

Theory and Practice

The Eighth Edition of this popular text from renowned educational psychologist Robert Slavin translates theory into practices that teachers can use in their classrooms with a further inquiry into the concept of intentionality and a thorough integration of standards. This edition continues to have in-depth, practical coverage with a focus on the intentional teacher by presenting up-to-the-minute research that a reflective, intentional teacher can apply. An intentional teacher, according to Slavin, is one who constantly reflects on his or her practice and makes instructional decisions based on a clear conception of how these practices affect students. To help readers become intentional teachers, the author offers a set of questions to guide them and models best practices through classroom examples. Firmly rooted in research, up-to-date theory, and classroom-tested applications, Educational Psychology prepares teachers as no other text does. It teaches them to think about how students develop and learn, to make decisions before and during instruction, and to consider what constitutes evidence that their students are learning and succeeding.This edition includes a new focus on reflection, new cases, sections on brain research, programs for language minority students, technology, No Child Left Behind, and after school and summer school programs.It contains new critiques of assessment and accountability strategies and a substantially updated treatment of programming for students with special needs.

Damp Yankees

(Another American Gobsmacked by England)

What is it really like to be an American living in England? In his collection of witty observations about the differences between England and America and their inhabitants, an American professor exiled to the mysterious North of England reveals the quirky characteristics and wonderful customs that define the English and their beloved country. Robert Slavin goes below the polite Victorian faade as he explores the seamy underside of English culture that includes dancing sheep, pantos, road systems built by hard-drinking Vikings, and the power of ancient, foolish traditions. Slavin centers most of his observations in York-shire as he explores the very best things about England, questions why there are not many English children, and contemplates the positives of dreary weather, the Sunday carvery at local pubs, and why it is okay for a milkman to be knighted by the queen. Damp Yankees shares an informative and provocative insiders glimpse into the heart of England, allowing for a fresh perspective for Americans who want a better understanding of the lovely island of Britain and its people, exotic customs, and ancient traditions.
