The book is designed to enable students to become intelligent consumers of educational research in order to help create effective and accountable learning environments. Written in a very clear and user-friendly style, this text focuses on understanding the intent of the researcher, the procedures, and the results so that students can use appropriate research findings to inform school change. This text emphasizes how responses to the accountability movement in schools can be focused around using and understanding scientific inquiry. It balances quantitative and qualitative research methodology and discusses action research and mixed methods in detail. Principles for conducting research and criteria for evaluating its overall credibility are presented in a concise manner. Students are shown how to analyze and evaluate research, and judge the usefulness of the findings for educational practice. In addition, students are shown how this knowledge can translate to their own classrooms.

I used this text for Master's degree level Educational Research and Statistics class. Research is a pretty dry subject, but this book makes some attempts to liven things up. It has some cute little cartoons and a research gremlin. The gremlin points out the flaws in research findings and elaborates on points in the text. It would have been a much more helpful textbook, if it explained how to use Excel to do the statistics. Instead it explained how to use SPSS Data Editor. How many students have access to such a program? All in all this book has been sufficient for my needs in this course.
