Written for students, educators, and researchers, "Methods in Educational Research" offers a refreshing introduction to the principles of educational research. Designed for the real world of educational research, the book's approach focuses on the types of problems likely to be encountered in professional experiences. Reflecting the importance of The No Child Left Behind Act , scientifically based educational research, school accountability, and the professional demands of the twenty first century, "Methods in Educational Research" empowers educational researchers to take an active role in conducting research in their classrooms, districts, and the greater educational community activities that are now not only expected but required of all teachers.
