"Interdisciplinary Research: Process and Theory offers a comprehensive and systematic presentation of the interdisciplinary research process and the theory that informs it. The authors illustrate each step of the decision-making process by drawing on student and professional work from the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and applied fields. Designed for active learning and problem-based approaches the Fourth Edition now includes guiding questions to the start of each chapter; expanded discussion of: epistemology; creativity within the interdisciplinary research process; confirmation bias and social media; the philosophy of integration; student work patterns, mapping, finding common ground in different situations, and ethical conflicts; and the importance of students performing independent research while working through this book. Also added is more detail on the strategies associated with several STEPS in the research process; extended advice on how to choose a research question; and discussions of job interviews, policy side-effects, metacognition, understanding scholarship as a conversation, and the importance of persuasion"-- Provided by publisher. |
