Learning and development professionals have embraced the concept of measurement, evaluation, and ROI. They know the importance of collecting valid, reliable data—but many want to build greater skills in asking the right measurement questions the right way. Experts in their field, Jack and Patricia Phillips have written a new book on measurement with Bruce Aaron, Survey Basics: A Guide to Developing Surveys and Questionnaires. A must read if you need to develop effective, valid, and reliable surveys. Designed to be a quick, concise crash course on survey development: Design the instrument so that people find it easy to respond to Ensure positive response rates Watch for types of errors that can creep into survey results. This book is a tool to help the L&D professional design and administer surveys and questionnaires. It describes the purpose of surveys and questionnaires, types of error that can creep into survey results, and considerations when developing specific survey questions. In addition, it offers advice to ensure positive response rates and how to design the instrument so that people find it easy to respond. The book includes content on validity and reliability, data analysis, and includes a chapter describing approaches to displaying data and reporting results.

Survey Research can be used as an independent guide or as a workbook to accompany Keith F Punch′s bestselling Introduction to Social Research (SAGE, 1998). It represents a short, practical `how-to′ book on a central methodology technique aimed at the beginning researcher. The focus of this book is on small-scale quantitative surveys studying the relationships between variables. After showing the central place of the quantitative survey in social science research methodology, it then takes a simple model of the survey, describes its elements and gives a set of steps and guidelines for implementing each element. The book then shows how the simple model of the quantitative survey generalizes easily to more complex models. It includes a detailed example of both simple and complex models, which readers should find very helpful. It is directed primarily at beginning researchers - upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in any area of social science, who often have to do small scale surveys in projects and dissertations. Beyond this, it will be of interest to anybody interested in learning about survey research. It is written in non-technical language, aiming to be as accessible as possible to a wide audience.

The primary aim of this book is to provide a guide to current practice and equipment for non-specialist surveyors in the various professions involved in the construction industry and the environment. It is suitable for students preparing for degrees and diplomas in architecture, building, building surveying, quantity surveying, estate management and town planning and environmental studies. It is also of value to engineers who are not specialising in engineering surveying. This book has been thoroughly revised to include new topics such as OS digital mapping, standard deviation and standard error, global positioning systems, transition and vertical curves. Walter Whyte was born in New Zealand of Scottish parents and educated in Scotland. He worked on site and building surveys in Scotland. He worked on site and building surveys in Scotland, then on road survey and setting out in the North Nyanza and Uasin Gishu Provinces of Kenya, and as a road engineer in British Southern Cameroons and Northern Nigeria, De Montford University in the UK and latterly at City University, Hong Kong. Raymond E Paul has been professionally involved in surveying for over 40 years as a land and cartographical surveyor, senior lecturer and author. He has a wealth of practical experience and an awareness of the needs of the intended users of this book from all corners of the globe.

Recent archaeological scholarship along with technical and technological advances in near-surface geophysics has brought exciting new possibilities to a growing body of archaeological thought. Yet, few explicitly theoretical attempts have been made to provide archaeological geophysics with anthropological premises. Anthropological Research Framing for Archaeological Geophysics: Material Signatures of Past Human Behavior initiates a dialogue with other archaeological and geophysical professionals to do so. Most archaeological applications of geophysics remain methodological and technical, devoted to gaining awareness of buried anthropogenic materials but not human behavior. By proposing the amelioration of communication gaps between traditional and geophysical archaeologists, Jason Randall Thompson foments dialogue and participates in bringing about new ways of thinking anthropologically about archaeological geophysics.
