Quatrième de couverture :

This non-technical, hands-on introductory text is supported by current technology (the Research Navigator database as well as a very complete website) to augment students' comprehension and application of both qualitative and quantitative techniques in educational research methods. Introduction to Educational Research, Fifth Edition guides the learner through eight research methods to help plan and compose their first educational research project. Through chapter contents and in-text exercises, readers simultaneously learn how to prepare a research plan, gather and analyze data, address research questions and hypotheses, and organize a report of their projects.
