Research Methods for Education

Research Methods for Education, 1st Edition, is a textbook that covers quantitative and qualitative research methodologies tailored to educational studies. The volume introduces foundational techniques that help students evaluate published studies and apply empirical methods to action research in educational practice.

The text links research design directly to data analysis, showing how researchers apply the scientific method to test hypotheses across education-related fields. Core subject areas include research ethics, sampling strategies, qualitative approaches, and experimental investigations.

To guide research choices, the text uses a problem-focused structure featuring a decision tree that spans design selection and statistical analysis. Learning resources are supported online through the SAGE edge platform.
