Research Methods in
Education
This rewritten and updated sixth edition of the long-running bestseller Research Methods in Education
covers the whole range of methods currently employed by educational research at all stages. It has five
main parts: the context of educational research, planning educational research, styles of educational
research, strategies for data collection and researching and data analysis. The book contains references
to a comprehensive dedicated web site of accompanying materials. It continues to be the standard text
for students and lecturers undertaking, understanding and using educational research.
This sixth edition comprises new material including:
O complexity theory, ethics, sampling, sensitive educational research, researching powerful people,
Internet-based research, interviewing and surveys
O expanded coverage of, and practical guidance in, experimental research, questionnaire design and
administration
O an entirely new part, containing five new chapters covering qualitative and quantitative data analysis
including content analysis, grounded theory, statistics and how to use them, effect size, and reporting
data, all with practical examples
O detailed cross-referencing to a major educational resource web site designed specifically to run
alongside this book.
Research Methods in Education, sixth edition, is essential reading for both the professional researcher and
anyone involved in educational research.
