520 |a "Places That Matter : Knowing Your Neighborhood Through Data is for anyone who wants to learn the language (concepts) of research methods and to translate that language into action. Places that Matter is written with the of goal of both facing and easing these challenges by (1) transferring the intellectual energy required to learn the methods of research on to a place that matters; (2) systematically building readers' confidence to convert the abstract language of research into applied activity and action taking; and (3) guiding (really coaching) readers to create an action plan grounded in systematic research. Places that Matter is not a comprehensive overview of research methods. Rather, it is a book that seeks to build a solid conceptual and experiential foundation for wanting to learn more. This book assumes an action-based learning approach. Action-based learning (ABL) is a learner-centered approach. Places that Matter guides you through an action-based learning experience that is launched by identifying a specific place that matters to your life and then asking you to get to know the neighborhood that surrounds it. Each chapter is broken into a series of learning modules with related exercises that take between 10 to 90 minutes each to complete. The exercises include step-by-step instructions to complete an investigative task, move you through the project and cultivate the skill set important to succeeding in, and negotiating, a knowledge- and data-driven economy. That skill set includes possessing the problem-solving and analytic skills to gather data and make observations and then manage, manipulate, and make meaning from the data collected and observations made"--Provided by publisher.
