Abstract

"Welcome to the eighth edition of Educational Research: Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Approaches. This text is written for the introductory research methods course that is required in most colleges in the United States. We assume no prior knowledge of research methods on the part of our readers. Our book can be used as a first text for undergraduate- or graduate-level courses. Instructors should be able to cover most or all of the material in one semester. Instructors also can choose to emphasize some material over the other. PURPOSE We had several purposes in writing this textbook. The first was a desire to write an introductory research methods book that was accurate and up-to-date. We come from interdisciplinary backgrounds and have attempted to incorporate our respective insights into this book.
