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.

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
