Book description
Methods in Educational Research
Methods in Educational Research is designed to prepare students for
the real world of educational research. It focuses on
scientifically-based methods, school accountability, and the
professional demands of the twenty-first century, empowering
researchers to take an active role in conducting research in their
classrooms, districts, and the greater educational community. Like the
first edition, this edition helps students, educators, and researchers
develop a broad and deep understanding of research methodologies. It
includes substantial new content on the impact of No Child Left Behind
legislation, school reform, quantitative and qualitative
methodologies, logic modeling, action research, and other areas.
Special features to assist the teaching and learning processes include
vignettes illustrating research tied to practice, suggested readings
at the end of each chapter, and discussion questions to reinforce
chapter content.
Praise for the Previous Edition

to students. Most striking is how useful this book is because it is
really grounded in educational research. It is very well written and
quite relevant for educational researchers or for the student hoping
to become one." -PsycCRITIQUES/American Psychological Association
"I applaud the authors for their attempt to cover a wide range
of material. The straightforward language of the book helps make the
material understandable for readers." -Journal of
