Long description

This substantially revised text provides a comprehensive, highly accessible, and student friendly introduction to the principles, concepts, and methods currently used in educational research. This text provides a balanced combination of quantitative and qualitative methods and enables students to master skills in reading, understanding, critiquing, and conducting research. The treatment of qualitative research is parallel to that of quantitative research to enable students to better understand all approaches to research. This text uses extensive examples from different journals, thoughtful pedagogy that includes instructional aids, instructional tests, key terms, application problems, concept maps, criteria for evaluating studies, and MyEducationLab for Research, a new interactive website.

  Excellent service
Reviewed by Jenny from Durban, South Africa on 01 April 2013

Although the book was out of stock on the day that I ordered and paid for it, within a couple of days I received an email to say that my book was on its way to me. I received the book within a week despite having changed the delivery address AFTER it was dispatched. I spoke to two people at Kalahari in connection with the change of address and both were helpful and efficient. Highly recommended. This is not the first time I have used Kalahari and it certainly won't be the last! Thank you!
