Quantitative Research in Education: A Primer

by Wayne K. (Kolter) Hoy, Curt M. Adams

Quantitative Research in Education: A Primer, Second Edition is a brief and practical text designed to allay anxiety about quantitative research. Award-winning authors Wayne K. Hoy and Curt M. Adams first introduce readers to the nature of research and science, and then present the meaning of concepts and research problems as they dispel notions that quantitative research is too difficult, too theoretical, and not practical. Rich with concrete examples and illustrations, the Primer emphasizes conceptual understanding and the practical utility of quantitative methods while teaching strategies and techniques for developing original research hypotheses.

Very knowledgable and well researched information about research in education. I guess I wanted more information about the statistical part of research. It tells you what tests to run where, but not how to apply and read them. Otherwise, an easy and informative read for those starting in research.
