Educational Research: Competencies for Analysis and Applications Description
Students often fear the educational research course. Don’t worry. This book is famous for its lack of jargon, for its clear and concrete explanations, and its light (often funny) tone.
As you read the book, you will build skills that you need to read educational research and produce your own. The book will help guide you through each step in creating your own research report. You can compare your work with the example published research articles in every methods chapter. In addition, the new Digital Research Tools for the 21st Century feature introduces novel tools and methods you can use to make the process of doing research easier or more efficient like using speech recognition programs to save time transcribing interviews (Chapter 15), using flip cameras and Skype to collect qualitative data (Chapter 14), and using management programs to organize citations (Chapter 21).

easy book to read; especially for those that do not enjoy quantitative terms. but too expensive. if you can get older version, only some minor changes, or the international version do it!!

I sure wish my professors had recommended this book during the first 3 years of my doctoral studies. The required texts were confusing and useless. As I prepared to begin my dissertation research I felt totally unsure as to how to organize my data . . . this text answered all my questions in a simple straight foward method. It is the only book you will need for any educational research. It saved me time and my sanity. If you're in a masters or doctoral program get this book. You won't be sorry.
