This is the 2nd edition of a "how-to" book on the practical application of a computer package called SAS (Statistical Analysis System) in the analysis of data sets rather than a theoretical discussion of statistics. The intended audience is the applied researcher in any one of a variety of fields: medicine, business, education, the social science, etc. The goal is to provide a comprehensive guide to the analysis and interpretation of data from a non-technical perspective.Chapters include Describing Data , Questionnaire design and analysis, correlation and regression, hypothesis testing, repeated measures design, multiple regression analysis.

Written by experts in cognition, motivation, and assessment, the new second edition provides an effective framework that not only makes the study of educational psychology manageable, but also develops new teachers into reflective practitioners. It integrates real classroom cases, thought-provoking questions, and synthesizing activities to guide readers through a unique four-step process that seamlessly translates theory into practice, and helps make reflection an everyday practice.

Today’s Canadian classrooms are complex, diverse and changing. Teachers need to be able to use theories and research to think critically about the issues that they face, and take the appropriate action. Guided through a four-step process — Reflection, Information Gathering, Decision-making, and Evaluation (RIDE) — preservice teachers using this text learn how to apply research to decision making in today’s Canadian classrooms. Nationally renowned scholars and experts in educational theory, motivation, and assessment, the Canadian author team of Miranda D’Amico and Richard F. Schmid links theory and empirical findings to practical issues throughout the text. Highly praised classroom cases, thought-provoking questions, and synthesizing activities provide preservice teachers with the skills they need to be reflective practitioners who can frame questions about their classrooms, think critically about the answers to those questions, and then take action.

This book will help preservice teachers develop the skills necessary to become reflective practitioners who can frame questions about their classrooms and use a "scientist-practitioner" approach to answer those questions. The authors first focus on how students develop and how and why they might be motivated to learn. They then examine learning and teaching as well as the contexts in which these processes occur. And they discuss how to assess if a student has gained an understanding of the classroom material.

The Museum Effect: How Museums, Libraries, and Cultural Institutions Educate and Civilize Society

Museums, libraries, and cultural institutions provide opportunities for people to understand and celebrate who they are, were, and might be. These institutions educate the public and civilize society in a variety of ways, ranging from community events to a single child making a first visit. The Museum Effect documents this phenomenon, explains how it happens, and shows how institutions can facilitate this process.Cultural institutions vary dramatically in size, nature and purpose, but they all allow visitors to hold conversations with artists and authors perhaps long dead. These conversations, sometimes with others present, and sometimes with artists, scientists, explorers, or authors not present, allow visitors to explore their lives and their “possible selves.” Cultural institutions inspire personal reflection, and help visitors better themselves, in that they leave having contemplated what is noble, excellent, or exemplary about the society in which they live. The “museum effect” is a process through which cultural institutions educate and civilize us as individuals and as societies. These institutions allow visitors to spend some time with their thoughts elevated, and leave the institution better people in some meaningful fashion than when they entered. This visionary book presents the underlying idea and the argument for the museum effect, along with empirical research supporting that argument. It will help those working in museums, libraries, and archivists to facilitate this process, and study how this is working in their own institutions.
