Research Methods in Education

Abstract

It is seven years since the fifth edition of Research Methods in Education was published and we are indebted to Routledge for the opportunity to produce a sixth edition. The book continues to be received very favourably worldwide and is the standard text for many courses in research methods. The sixth edition contains much new material, including a completely new part on data analysis. This means that the book now covers all stages of educational research, from planning and design, through data collection to data analysis and reporting. While retaining the best features of the former edition, the reshaping, updating and new additions undertaken for this new volume now mean that the book covers a greater spread of issues than the previous editions.
