Overview

Fundamentals of Educational Researchsucceeds in cutting through the complexities of research to give the novice researcher a sound basis to define, develop, and conduct a study, while providing fresh insights for the more accomplished researcher. This book is of value to all social researchers, but in particular to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers employed in private industry, management, and government agencies. Anderson discusses the research process and offers a wealth of information on how to define a research problem, plan a study, develop a research framework, collect the data, analyze it and write it into a credible paper on thesis. He has captured the essential components of the research process in a book that balances the quantitative and qualitative perspectives through both the academic and consulting research traditions.

The initial entry in a new, broad-ranging series intended to bring the study of education closer to teachers' everyday world, thereby bridging the gap between theory and practice. Anderson eschews the traditional textbook approach with its emphasis on exercises and drills, in favor of a succinct and conceptual exposition that guides both students and professionals in how to define research problems and questions. He provides an overview of major sources of research literature and provides a detailed method of planning a study, introducing eight major methods and approaches, together with advice on when to use them.
