Good choice for education majors - easier to understand

Education majors at the graduate level will appreciate the straight forward approach of this book. Helps to take the "mystery" out of research with a down to earth approach while still getting the important points across to the reader.

An Invaluable guide for educational research.

This is an excellent text for anyone who has to conduct educational research. I had to purchase it as part of my MEd program and haven't regretted it. The information is clear and accessible. The text is enhanced with a plethora of annotated charts, images and tables. Each chapter begins with a beautiful photograph from a famous film with a humorous caption underneath it. Chapter objectives and summaries are included at the start and ending of each chapter. There are exhaustive appendixes and references. Self-tests, an excellent glossary and thorough indexes help to make this book an educational researcher's best friend.
