About this title

Synopsis

This illustrative text explains the nature of educational research, why it is done and the form it takes, as well as exploring the fundamentals that help educators conduct research on their own.

From the Back Cover

"This is an excellent textbook that covers information on educational research in a comprehensive style. The textbook's logical format, accuracy, and many clear examples, relevent to educational research, provide students and any reader with samples to more easily familiarize themselves with the tools needed to conduct a research investigation."

-- Laura J. Shea Doolan, St. Joseph's College

"[Mertler] provides a very organized, non-technical introductory text to enhance students' comprehension and interpretation of both qualitative and quantitiative techiques in educational research."

-- Li-Ling Chen, California State University at East Bay

This text balances quantitative and qualitative research methods and guides learners through nine research methods to help plan and compose their first educational research project. Through chapter content and in-text exercises, readers simultaneously learn how to prepare a research plan, gather and analyze data, address research questions and hypotheses, and organize a research report. In keeping with the main purpose of helping students clearly understand and apply research concepts, the language of the text is non-technical and every chapter contains multiple pedagogical supports.

MyEducationLab for Research is integrated throughout the seventh edition. Every chapter contains margin icons that correlate chapter topics to assignments and activities within the MyEducationLab website. MyEducationLab is an interactive learning website that helps students practice and strengthen skills that are essential to understanding and producing good research.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
