      Summary note
      "Designing and Conducting Research in Education is a first step for students who will be consuming research as well as for those who will be actively involved in conducting research." "The book: examines quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research approaches, which have emerged as important components in the toolbox of educational research; explains each step of the research process very practically to help students plan and conduct a research project in education; and applies research in real-world situations by taking the reader through various challenges often encountered in field settings."--Jacket.
