A practical, step-by-step core research text that balances coverage of qualitative, quantitative and combined methods

Educational Research: Planning, Conducting, and Evaluating Quantitative and Qualitative Research offers a truly balanced, inclusive, and integrated overview of the processes involved in educational research. This text first examines the general steps in the research process and then details the procedures for conducting specific types of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies. Direct guidance on reading research is offered throughout the text, and features provide opportunities for practice.

Throughout the 6th Edition, examples are now drawn from a broad range of fields, including program evaluation, multicultural research, counseling, school psychology, and learning and cognition. In addition, enhanced coverage incorporates the latest technology-based strategies and online tools, and more information about single-subject research methods.

Features

Broadened examples beyond teacher education reflect the increasingly diverse disciplines and subdisciplines in educational research. The authors include examples of educational research in fields such as program evaluation, multicultural research, counseling, school psychology, learning and cognition, nutrition, sports psychology, education in the professions, and other fields.

Application Exercises at the end of each chapter provide students with the opportunity to test and implement their understanding of research concepts.

An expanded emphasis on technology. Coverage of reviewing the literature has also been expanded with an emphasis on current literature database searches, reference management software, and how to synthesise findings from a literature review.

Quantitative research methods are updated to cover mediating variables, use of online surveys, and additional statistical methods such as intraclass correlation coefficients. A new example of performance assessment and step-by-step examples to calculate t-test and chi-square statistics are provided.

Coverage of quantitative designs is expanded to include causal inferences in experimental designs and more detail about causal comparative research and single-subject designs. The authors provide examples of threats to validity in experimental research. The chapter on survey research is substantially updated to reflect the use of online surveys, methodological considerations, and sources for more information.

The chapters on qualitative research are updated, including coverage of qualitative data analysis software and recent developments in qualitative methods. This edition includes a table comparing different approaches to grounded theory, new ethnographic study examples, and developments in narrative research.

The mixed methods chapter is substantially updated to reflect methodological developments, in particular the discussion of integration of qualitative and quantitative data. The authors added recent examples of mixed methods research using convergent, explanatory sequential, exploratory sequential, and experimental mixed methods designs.

Annotated research articles help students understand the structure of articles and the key issues to take into account when evaluating the quality and the applicable scope of each particular piece of research.
