Ebsco Research Starters

Covering Education, Business and Sociology

The Ebsco Research Starters are intended to provide students with an introduction to research and assignments in the subject areas, 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.

Notre Dame students could find these useful as 'ways-in' to these key discipline areas.
