Helpful, but expensive., 2008-09-21
This book is a pretty good introduction into research methods - I'd recommend it especially to Master's students in the areas of education, library and information science, and maybe public policy/administration.

An Invaluable guide for educational research., 2008-04-09
This is an excellent text for anyone who has to conduct educational research. I had to purchase it as part of my MEd program and haven't regretted it. The information is clear and accessible. The text is enhanced with a plethora of annotated charts, images and tables. Each chapter begins with a beautiful photograph from a famous film with a humorous caption underneath it. Chapter objectives and summaries are included at the start and ending of each chapter. There are exhaustive appendixes and references. Self-tests, an excellent glossary and thorough indexes help to make this book an educational researcher's best friend.
