This edition has some minor changes from the 6th and 7th edition, mainly just page numbers. If you can find the 6th or 7th edition cheaper, it is vitural the same book

Learning how to decipher the technical jargon surrounding research is never easy. This book makes it easy. Along with thorough explanations and an abundance of examples, there is a bit of humor tossed in. The humor helps break up the intense explanations. There are also many charts and graphs that help synthesize the information into an easy learning format. I would recommend this book for anyone who has to learn about research.

The product arrived when the seller would..and in the condition listed. No complaints..seller earned my whole hearted reccommendation

man... was a really boringgggg read. It's useful if your professor tells you what to look at, but other than that... shoot me!

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.

This book provides a great overview of basic statistical concepts as well as experimental design. This is one that will stay on my shelves for a resource.

Education majors at the graduate level will appreciate the straight forward approach of this book. Helps to take the "mystery" out of research with a down to earth approach while still getting the important points across to the reader.

It's everything you need to know to prepare a thesis in a simple, easy-to-read book! I relied on it so much during my research activities.

This book which cost me about 40.00 dlls. I'm sorry to say that it is not worth not even half of that. The book happened to be incomplete and it's hard cover was loose from the inside text, the book itself.

My only complaint about it was that the cover is warped. I bought a new book, had it delivered next-day, and it won't close properly.

The book has a lot of good information in it. I can see why my instructor chose it for the course in which I am enrolled.
