Overview
Practical Research is an engaging, cross-disciplinary guide to research methodology. The text is a do-it-yourself, how-to manual for planning and conducting research. Suitable for a wide variety of courses in basic research methodology, the book uses a conversational tone, step-by-step instructions, and practical suggestions to guide you from the selection of a problem to the preparation of a completed report.
The 12th Edition has been updated to include the latest technology-based strategies and online tools. Other key changes include a better balance between quantitative and qualitative methods, the addition of a new chapter on action research and a new integrated MyLab. Tips for identifying a theoretical or conceptual framework for a research study are included in a new section as well.
