Designed to better serve master's level students while meeting needs of doctoral level students in educational research methods, this text provides a comprehensive framework for designing, implementing, and evaluating studies. The only text of its kind to be modeled around the concept of "how research becomes accepted as knowledge," it offers substantial treatment of research by practitioners (Ch. 23). The Qualitative End (expanded from 5 chapters to Sec. 4); The Qualitative/Quantitative Middle (represented by survey research - Sec. 5); and The Quantitative End (Section 6) help readers realize that they are not confined to either one or the other, but may choose from, merge, and creatively adapt them. In the new edition, the discussion of meta-analysis has been expanded to chapter length (Ch. 21) and the ethics coverage (Ch. 10) is introduced before the research approaches chapters. New appendix on writing a research proposal helpful to doctoral and masters students doing theses. Best used by professors wanting a comprehensive, weighty text.

From the Back Cover

It is comprehensive and illustrates with powerful applications problems that students can learn and transfer to real life in their schools. Awesome organization in sections within each chapter! A+++." -- Maria Cardette-Elawar, Arizona State University West

Positively the best in the field,
By Windy City Zydeco Woman (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Methods of Educational and Social Science Research: An Integrated Approach (Paperback)
For educational research, Krathwohl can't be beat. His "chain of reasoning" approach makes the process logical, easy to understand and remember, and applies well to both social science and education. He provides spot-on examples that readers can relate to, and he never talks down to his readers. He has no peer in this discipline.
