common ideas to most research fields
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
If you have done research in most other fields of study, then much of this book's advice will be familiar and germane. Like analysing existing research efforts and identifying [or trying to at least] the hypotheses of those efforts, especially if these are not explicitly delineated. Issues of sampling methods figure prominently in the book. Here you need some understanding of elementary statistics, and ideas such as purposive sampling and sample adequacy. The book has a concise take on key statistical ideas. Enough for a qualitative understanding. But you really need a more indepth text on statistics if you are actually going to conduct research.
