Description
A core text for Introductory Education Research courses for upper undergraduate and graduate students.
Unique among educational research texts, this text is geared specifically to the day-to-day needs of the classroom teacher. It covers all of the traditional topics of an educational research text with a distinctive emphasis that stresses the need for working educators to continue in the role of researchers while they teach. Material focuses on research in its most practical sense-as a system for examining and analyzing educational outcomes-and on the many ways in which teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors can apply research findings to helping students solve the day-to-day problems they face.
