Conclusion. 330 $aThis textbook introduces graduate students in education and policy research to data and statistical methods in state-level higher education policy analysis. It also serves as a methodological guide to students, practitioners, and researchers who want a clear approach to conducting higher education policy analysis that involves the use of institutional- and state-level secondary data and quantitative methods ranging from descriptive to advanced statistical techniques. This book is unique in that it introduces readers to various types of data sources and quantitative methods utilized in policy research and in that it demonstrates how results of statistical analyses should be presented to higher education policy makers. It helps to bridge the gap between researchers, policy makers, and practitioners both within education policy and between other fields. Coverage includes identifying pertinent data sources, the creation and management of customized data sets, teaching beginning and advanced statistical methods and analyses, and the presentation of analyses for different audiences (including higher education policy makers). 410 0$aQuantitative methods in the humanities and social sciences. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xResearch 606 $aEducation, Higher$xStatistical methods 606 $aEducació superior$2thub 606 $aInvestigació educativa$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xResearch. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xStatistical methods. 615 7$aEducació superior 615 7$aInvestigació educativa 676 $a378.0072 700 $aTitus$b Marvin$0853243 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466393903316 996 $aHigher Education Policy Analysis Using Quantitative Techniques$91905214 997 $aUNISA
