Educational Research: Fundamental Principles and Methods [rental Edition] — James H McMillan (2021)

Book Description

“Educational Research: Fundamental Principles and Methods is for both consumers of empirical investigations and beginning researchers. Consumers locate, read, understand, critique, and then use the results of research to become more effective professionally and to make sound educational decisions. Beginning researchers need to know the fundamental process of conducting good research, a foundation for learning how to conduct research and report results. The book is designed to enable students to become intelligent consumers and proficient investigators of educational research. It is intended for a one-semester or one-term course in educational research and is best suited for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in all areas of education. The examples from studies bring sometimes obtuse and dull research principles to life by showing excerpts from published articles. Students will find them interesting and informative. There are over 160 excerpts from recently published studies from 70 different journals, representing various levels of rigor and myriad subject areas. Although the excerpts focus on the field of education and educational publications, this book is also appropriate for students in related social sciences who need to learn how to read and understand research and begin the process of becoming investigators”–
