Educational Research: Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Approaches

Assuming no prior knowledge, Educational Research: Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Approaches, Fifth Edition, by Burke Johnson and Larry Christensen, gives upper-level undergraduate and graduate students an understanding of the multiple research methods and strategies€"including qualitative, quantitative, and action research, as well as mixed methods inquiry€"used in education and related fields. The authors expertly teach students how to: read and critically evaluate published research; write a proposal, construct a questionnaire, and conduct an empirical research study on their own; and ultimately write up their results in a research report using APA style.
