Feature Summary

Real-World Research: The text highlights real-world research through ten detailed analyses of actual studies. In addition, a full chapter (23) focuses on action research, and 14 "Controversies in Research" boxes examine relevant controversies and demonstrate how educational researchers are working to address current issues.
Comprehensive Coverage: The text provides a thorough introduction to educational research: quantitative and qualitative methodologies; data analysis; conducting research and preparing proposals and reports; action research; and issues in educational research.
Practical Applications: Chapters 1-13 contain end-of-chapter research exercises and problem sheets that enable students to apply the information presented to a research project of their own choosing.
Effective Visual Program: Throughout the text, the material is enhanced by summarizing charts, tables and diagrams, numerous illustrations of key concepts and ideas, and a friendly two-color design.
Comprehensive Supplements Program: The text's integrated media program offers resources for extra practice, application, and research. The Student Mastery Activities Book allows for practice with difficult concepts. The Research Companion CD-ROM includes a student study guide, data analysis examples and resources, audio clips providing further coverage of topics, and electronic versions of key resources such as the problem sheets. The Online Learning Center includes the study guide, online resources, and PowerWeb articles and news feeds. The instructor supplements include an Instructor's Resource CD-ROM (with instructor's manual, test bank, PowerPoint slides, and CPS content), as well as resources on the Online Learning Center.
