Summary:

Check and Schutt (both U. of Massachusetts, Boston) provide students with an integrated set of techniques for conducting education research, through 15 chapters covering the foundations of research, investigative design and data collection, and analyzing and reporting results. Case studies incorporated throughout illustrate practical applications of the concepts. Each chapter opens with a research question which is investigated using the methods of that chapter, and each chapter closes with a list of key terms--including page number where the term is introduced--bulleted highlights, discussion questions, practice exercises, and web exercises at a supplemental online study site. Also available: a password-protected instructor site with text banks, PowerPoint slides, lecture outlines, and other resources. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
