In today's rapidly changing world, a holistic and integrated approach to educational assessment - and its interdependence with curriculum, teaching and learning - is essential. In the delivery of 21st century knowledge and skills, educators will be challenged with issues such as what to teach, what and how learners need to learn, and how to assess their work accurately to measure richer and more meaningful learning and more complex tasks. Meaningful assessment for 21st century learning seeks to address different learning contexts and disciplines by exploring how education theory, methodologies and approaches influence assessment practices in the 21st century. Meaningful assessment for 21st century learning is aimed at the broader educational community of scholars engaged in meaningful and effective educational assessment to promote 21st century skills.

The purpose of Research At Grass Roots is to accompany the novice researcher, in both the social sciences and human service professions, step by step through the research process. The description of the research process is probably unique in that this view has been developed over at least two decades through work with postgraduate students. The section for experienced researchers is less structured and discusses current topics of interest such as evaluation research, intervention research, participatory action research, and analysis of concepts such as evidence-based practice.

The interplay between scientific theory and research, and between research and professional practice, has once again been highlighted. This encompasses important debates for experienced researchers and practitioners, including crucial concepts for novice researchers to master as early as possible in their academic careers.

The section dealing with different models for combining quantitative and qualitative styles of research has been updated to include recent debates and developments in the field of mixed methods designs. Both sections dealing with qualitative and quantitative designs and analysis have been substantially revised and updated. We have included contributions from experienced researchers such as Prof. Willem Schurink, a qualitative researcher and doctoral supervisor, Prof. Wim Roestenburg, a senior academic and researcher, and Dr Allen Bartley, an international contributor and expert in statistical analysis. Prof. Minrie Greeff has again provided insight from her vast experience of research interviewing. Salient features of the previous three editions have been retained in order to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of current users of this very successful book.

Data for Nurses: Understanding and Using Data to Optimize Care Delivery in Hospitals and Health Systems provides information for nurses on how to work with data to effectively evaluate and improve care delivery for patients. Quality, benchmarking, and research data are increasingly used to guide care in hospitals and health systems, and nurses are expected to actively use this information to identify interventions to optimize outcomes and meet reporting and financial targets. However, not all nurses receive formal training on data utilization, making interpretation and application of the different types of data difficult. This book provides information on topics such as benchmarking and reportable indicators, financial metrics, quality improvement, research, and implementation science, with applications to nursing practice. Important information on protective measures to guarantee integrity and security of personal patient data is also included. The book is a valuable resource for nurses and other healthcare professionals who require a basic understanding of key principles of data utilization in order to increase engagement in evidence-based practices, quality improvement, and mandatory reporting of key indices.

The study of pediatric and adolescent medicine is an essential part of medicine as children react to diseases differently than adults.

The Research Anthology on Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine presents the developments, emerging technologies, and challenges in pediatric and adolescent medicine. It also explains adolescent health management and promotion as well as recent discoveries on childhood development. Covering topics such as media consumption, neuro-developmental disorders, and health promotion, this book is a critical resource for pediatricians, nurses, medical professionals, hospital administration, behavioral scientists, therapists, psychiatrists, medical students, researchers, and academicians.

In The Great Gatsby Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusion of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status. But he does more than render the essence of a particular time and place, for in chronicling Gatsby's tragic pursuit of his dream, Fitzgerald recreates the universal conflict between illusion and reality.
