Research Starters™ - Education provides students with a solid foundation for their research and assignments, as well as overview information on topics relevant to their studies. Comprehensive summaries of discipline-specific topics help students to grasp the broad outlines of a subject, realize its real world applications, critically engage it, and locate sources for advanced research. Articles average 3,000 words, providing concise yet more in-depth content than most textbook or encyclopedia entries.
Research Starters - Education contains Abstracts, a Keyword List of words pertinent to the articles, an Overview to explain various topics' relevance to education, Further Insights/Applications to demonstrate how the points discussed in the overview can be applied to everyday teaching and administration, a Viewpoints/Issues Discourse section to help the reader develop a critical perspective on a topic, a glossary of Terms & Concepts, a Bibliography and a Suggested Reading list.
The Research Starters - Education topics were chosen through careful analysis of the course offerings of colleges and universities with leading education programs, e.g., the University of Michigan, Harvard University, Boston University, Syracuse University, New York University, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the University of Pittsburgh, Indiana University, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Virginia, SUNY Albany, the University of Toronto, and the University of Alberta, Canada. In addition, course offerings at 2-year colleges were evaluated and analyzed.
Subject matter experts holding advanced degrees in education were consulted to ensure that the articles encompassed current trends and popular topics.
The Research Starters - Education articles are sorted among twenty-four categories, each of which contains between ten and thirty-five article topics: Early Childhood Education, Public School Education, Adult Education, Special Education, Physical Education, Extended Learning, Service Learning, Education & the Law, School Administration & Policy, School Safety, Curriculum Organization, Politics, Government & Education, History of Education, Educational Theory, Teaching Methods, Technology in Education, Testing & Evaluation, Educational Psychology, Multicultural Education, English as a Second Language, Alternative Education, Teacher Education, Guidance & Counseling, Research in Education, Higher Education, and International Perspectives.
