Introduction to Educational Research — Craig A. Mertler (2021)

Book Description

The third edition of Introduction to Educational Research by Craig A. Mertler guides students through the steps of the research process to help them plan and execute their first educational research project. With balanced coverage of qualitative and quantitative methods, an emphasis on ethics, and clear examples and concrete applications, this applied text offers a practical presentation of the research process. New to the third edition are expanded coverage of foundations of research, including more depth on the scientific method, research questions, and literature reviews, expanded coverage of qualitative and mixed methods over several chapters, and streamlined coverage of statistics. The book has been thoroughly updated to address the latest changes in the 7th edition of the APA Manual, including research report writing, bias-free writing, self-plagiarism, and citation style. Finally, three new research articles are included as appendices to demonstrate qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, with annotations throughout to highlight different parts of the research process. Comprehensive and student-friendly, Introduction to Educational Research uses conversational and nontechnical language to help students new to methods clearly understand and apply research concepts, principles, procedures, and terminology.
