Create a flyer for "Research Methods for Community Change"

I chose this "textbook" because it is the "BEST FIT" for my teaching philosophy and practice involving project based learning through community focused action research projects by criminal justice, social work and gerontology students, all of whom take a common research methods course in their junior year titled "Research Methods for the Human Services."

PSY 4339: Seminar in Community Psychology integrates applied research knowledge.

Excellent description of community based research. Great insights into the challenges of doing community research and working in academia.

Focus too narrow for my course, i.e., not the best fit for an introductory social work research course. Great supplement to other texts for students interested in community-based research.

I did not formally adopt, but have recommended it to students interested in PAR and community-based programming/research

Book is aligned with the most current issues facing community change and allows for class discussion based on topic areas highlighted in book.

Good basic overview of participatory action research and approaches to conducting research with communities.

Currently using this text, excellent for the class of international development and economic development graduate students.

I enjoyed the text, however, I did not think it was appropriate for an introductory course to research, which emphasizes the scientific method and all of it's steps. May be more useful as a supplementary to some of my other courses.

May consider in near future
