5.0 out of 5 stars Overall Best Work for Study of Educational Research Methods, July 6, 2006
By Lectio Veritas (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews
As a university instructor who has used this text, I would recommend it for its thoroughness and attention to detail in the teaching of educational research methods. Most students are intimidated by research courses. However, this book lays out the reasons for research and the ways of approaching research problems in a step-by-step fashion that is both scholarly and common sense. It is also a great resource to have on one's library shelf. I highly recommend it it for graduate research courses.

4.0 out of 5 stars my comments on the book, April 7, 2009
By Marta Vicente (Dominican Republic) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book has a nice hardcover and good quality paper, as the majority of american text-books. The index is very detailed. The graphic models used to explain concepts helped me a lot for the simplicity and clarity. I didn't like the sharp distinctions between qualitative and quantitative approaches in research, I prefer the authors that pose arguments for the common ground that scientific inquiries share between them.
