This substantially revised text, with a new title to emphasize changes, provides a comprehensive, highly accessible, and student friendly introduction to the principles, concepts, and methods currently used in educational research. This text provides a balanced combination of quantitative and qualitative methods and enables students to master skills in reading, understanding, critiquing, and conducting research. The treatment of qualitative research is parallel to that of quantitative research to enable students to better understand all approaches to research, including mixed-method, concept analysis, historical, and secondary analysis, and to be able to apply new federal standards for evaluating research. This text uses extensive examples from different journals, thoughtful pedagogy that includes instructional aids, instructional tests, key terms, application problems, concept maps, criteria for evaluating studies, and a comprehensive website.

From the Back Cover
New to This Edition:
- Substantial revision of all chapters with greater depth of coverage to present the most current and useful content available in educational research.
- A new chapter that covers mixed-method, secondary analysis, and action research. Both mixed-method and secondary analysis studies are becoming more frequent, and many students find themselves conducting action research. This chapter provides an introduction to these three approaches.
- Four new complete research articles that facilitate student understanding of different types of studies and provide examples to critique.
- Expanded coverage of experimental validity and randomized designs, including statistical conclusion and construct validity.
- Coverage of contemporary topics that students need to know because of their increased usage in the literature, including web-based surveys, logistic regression, and SEM.
- New instructional aids, including expanded application exercises at the end of each chapter and new Misconceptions verses Evidence boxes to show the utility of research.
- Substantial revision of Chapter 4 to reflect changes in ERIC so that students can use this popular database effectively.
- Greater emphasis on contemporary evaluation designs.
- New appendix on writing research articles to assist students in communicating their research. Marginal icons and keywords are included to guide readers to pertinent articles in the Research Navigator database.
- Instructor’s Manual/Test Bank, PowerPoint™ Presentations, and Companion Website (www.ablongman.com/mcmillanschumacher6e) coordinated by the authors are available to adopters.
