How to Design and Evaluate Research in Education 10e provides a comprehensive introduction to educational research.

End-of-chapter problem sheets, comprehensive coverage of data analysis, and information on how to prepare research proposals and reports make it appropriate both for courses that focus on doing research and for those that stress how to read and understand research.
