Synopsis

What are the fundamental elements of good quantitative and qualitative research?

What are the strengths and weaknesses of each approach?

What does research offer early childhood education?

Are quantitative and qualitative approaches compatible?

Understanding Quantitative and Qualitative Research in Early Childhood Education presents the research process and its components in a straightforward, easily accessible manner.
