Research Methods for Education, second edition

Research Methods for Education takes a refreshing approach to research methods from an author who clearly understands the pitfalls students encounter in the selection, justification and application of methods to their projects. Practical but with a strong theoretical base, it ensures that students are well informed about the research choices they are making.
