A Step-By-Step Guide to Conducting Quantitative Applied Research in Education features a thorough explanation of frequently used quantitative designs and statistics in social science research. The guide assists in selecting the appropriate design and statistic and provides model write-ups of rationales for each design and statistic. Additional models are provided for writing up results of statistical analyses.
This title is part of a Step-By-Step book series designed to teach educators how to conduct research in an educational setting. This approach guides the educator through the entire research process from developing a research topic to presenting a final manuscript.
Every edition includes a step-by step-approach to conducting research using a template. This series of books includes a detailed explanation of each step, examples of each step, videos to further understanding, chapter highlights to reinforce critical information, and quiz bank questions to assess understanding. This book will lead the researcher through the research process in an educational setting from commencement to culmination.
