It also serves as a methodological guide to students, practitioners, and researchers who want a clear approach to conducting higher education policy analysis that involves the use of institutional- and state-level secondary data and quantitative methods ranging from descriptive to advanced statistical techniques. This book is unique in that it introduces readers to various types of data sources and quantitative methods utilized in policy research and in that it demonstrates how results of statistical analyses should be presented to higher education policy makers. It helps to bridge the gap between researchers, policy makers, and practitioners both within education policy and between other fields. Coverage includes identifying pertinent data sources, the creation and management of customized data sets, teaching beginning and advanced statistical methods and analyses, and the presentation of analyses for different audiences (including higher education policy makers). 001436664 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 24, 2021). 001436664 650_0 $$aEducation, Higher$$xResearch. 001436664 650_0 $$aEducation, Higher$$xStatistical methods. 001436664 650_6 $$aEnseignement supérieur$$xRecherche. 001436664 650_6 $$aEnseignement supérieur$$xMéthodes statistiques. 001436664 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001436664 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030608301$$z9783030608309$$w(OCoLC)1193122661 001436664 830_0 $$aQuantitative methods in the humanities and social sciences,$$x2199-0956 001436664 852__ $$bebk 001436664 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-60831-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001436664 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1436664$$pGLOBAL_SET 001436664 980__ $$aBIB 001436664 980__ $$aEBOOK 001436664 982__ $$aEbook 001436664 983__ $$aOnline 001436664 994__ $$a92$$bISE
