Reviews

"Research Methodologies of School Psychology offers a comprehensive resource for conceptualizing and implementing research in schools and school-related settings. Kettler eloquently describes the research-to-practice paradigm through eleven chapters nested in four areas: scientific history, measurement, research design, and inferences from research data. The book includes valuable and easy-to-access strategies, guides, and questions. This is a must-read volume for graduate students, practitioners, and trainers. I highly recommend it!" - Linda A. Reddy, Professor, The State University of New Jersey, Rutgers University, USA

"This is a wonderful resource for both graduate students in school psychology and school-based practitioners seeking to engage in applied research or become well-informed consumers of research literature. It provides a useful framework for conceptualizing research questions, and generating and testing hypotheses. Full of descriptions and exemplars of the applications of various research methodologies, the book is a practical roadmap for those engaging in the research process, including the interpretation and dissemination of research findings." - Robert J. Volpe, Professor & Interim Chair, Department of Applied Psychology, Northeastern University, USA
