An engaging, cross-disciplinary guide to research methodology
Practical Research: Planning and Design is a do-it-yourself, how-to manual for planning and conducting research. Suitable for a wide variety of courses in basic research methodology, the book uses a conversational tone, step-by-step instructions, and practical suggestions to guide the reader from the selection of a problem to the preparation of a completed report.

The 12th Edition has been updated to include the latest technology-based strategies and online tools. Other key changes include a better balance between quantitative and qualitative methods and the addition of a new chapter on action research.

Simplicity

What I love about this book is its simplicity. This is the first time I really study the subject. I was really intimidated in the beginning, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable subject because of the simplicity of the book.

Does not work on kindle app for mac

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2023

Verified Purchase

The ebook works just fine on my ipad but it will not downlaod onto my kindle app that is on my mac. I've tried to deliver it many times but it will revert back to saying that it is only on 1 device-- my ipad. The message I keep getting is that I need to update the app but there aren't any updates available.

I thought I orded new but it was fairly used

I thought it was new, only to find out that the first chapter has markings and comments. So, I was a little disappointed for the cost. I wanted a new book.

my book smells

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

It's in okay condition for a used textbook, but I hate reading it for a couple of reasons: the content seems aimed at maybe high schoolers who are embarking on research for the first time, while I am a master's student. Not the author's fault my professor assigned such a mismatched book, but I get the impression that this is marketed to college and gradschool professors in spite of it's simplicity. Also, the one I received has a strong smell. I don't want to have it out in public because I'm embarrassed by the stench. I don't do much reading in public these days thanks to covid. Still, I feel like I have to warn my family when I get this book out, in case they smell it.

This is one of the best textbook for people working on their Ph.D. or even EdD. This helps explains terminology and what to look for. Examples are superb and I wish this was a required book for me. HIGHLY recommend it,.

I'm currently in a graduate research and design course, and this book has helped me through the nuances of the course tremendously. Well-written and easy to retain.
