This fifth edition constitutes the most extensive reshaping of the text to date and new material includes:

New chapters on curriculum research, planning research, needs analysis, observational methods and test construction planning research

Expanded discussion of action research, questionnaire design, ethnographic research, interview techniques, document analysis, ethical issues and group analysis/group techniques

New developments in technology such as telephone and electronic surveys, video and audio recording, use of photographic data and the use of the internet as a research facility.
