This book has already put me to sleep twice! The authors spend too much time on how to take notes and write a paragraph, which we should already know how to do. However, they spend little or no time talking about *real* research -- what makes a good research project? How do we formulate a hypothesis? What kinds of anecdotal information should we be looking for? This is the only one of my education textbooks that I will be selling back!!

I purchased this text for a graduate course. It is a good resource to help teachers get started. If you feel clueless how to hone your questions and develop action research, this will help you get started from zero. However, I agree with the comments of "This book is backwards". The book does not get into the details of data collection.

This book is easy to read and follow. The steps outlined in the text are supporting me through my classroom research project.

I needed a book for a class and it never came! I read the other reviews that said good things, so I thought it would be okay. When I contacted them about it I never got a response. Still waiting for my money back!

This book is appropriate for those who have little to no experience doing research. It is most appropriate for those wishing to do entirely qualitative investigations. I found it of little use.

I purchased this text for a Capstone course. It was a qood reference to help me write a research paper. It helped me decide on my hypothesis and on questions to ask in a survey. It gave me a good insight on how to start on my research.

The book arrived in a timely manner in the condition stated. If the opportunity arises I will not hesitate to order again.

The book is easy to follow and read. It gives plenty of examples with student work samples, and in-class dialogue. It is fantastic!

I bought this book last semester for a grad course. I have to confess that I hardly read it but it was useful and intersting (the little I read).Sold it. This semester I am taking a research class and have to finish my paper by may 29. My research teacher suggested that I buy this bok to help me with certain issues. Gosh, buying it again. This time I am keeping it for good. other classmates told me the book was great as well.
We'll see...

I bought this book for a class I was taking. Interesting book and fairly easy to read and understand for a text book.
