A good text, but could use some work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a relatively good text. It provides a good overview of research methodology, but it does have problems. Specifically, it can be a little hard to follow at times. One of my main complaints is that the author uses really nice graphic organizers, but does not number them. It would be much easier to follow if the graphic organizers and the paragraphs in the text had matching numbers, letters, etc. Also, sometimes the author changes the order of the paragraphs. The graphic organizer will be listed one way, but the paragraphs will be listed another way. Overall, I like the text, but I think it could be even better with some additional editing. On the positive side, I do like the addition of the sidebars in this edition. They help significantly with understanding.

my comments on the book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The book has a nice hardcover and good quality paper, as the majority of american text-books. The index is very detailed. The graphic models used to explain concepts helped me a lot for the simplicity and clarity. I didn't like the sharp distinctions between qualitative and quantitative approaches in research, I prefer the authors that pose arguments for the common ground that scientific inquiries share between them.
Overall Best Work for Study of Educational Research Methods
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
As a university instructor who has used this text, I would recommend it for its thoroughness and attention to detail in the teaching of educational research methods. Most students are intimidated by research courses. However, this book lays out the reasons for research and the ways of approaching research problems in a step-by-step fashion that is both scholarly and common sense. It is also a great resource to have on one's library shelf. I highly recommend it it for graduate research courses.

If a person is doing a thesis, or disertation, then this book will answer questions about each of the 5 chapters and all those little details that a not taught but are required by your committee.
