Through this approach, students learn about the research process and current research on topics that directly impact practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"MARGIN: 0px\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp style=\"MARGIN: 0px\"\u003eFrom reviews of the text:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"MARGIN: 0px\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"MARGIN: 0px\"\u003eThe writing style of the textbook is excellent . . . . Writing clarity for content builds from one paragraph to another. . . . The Gall, Gall, and Borg textbook is the only text I would consider for [my Master’s-level research course]. Because the authors are scholars and practitioners, they bring a depth and range to the topic of educational research that is unsurpassed.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"MARGIN: 0px\"\u003e            --Vikki K.

I find it easy to read and navigate among the chapters. Most graduate students in my class will not have any problems reading the book. The authors provide a very gentle introduction to educational research. . . . The authors adopt a balanced view of educational research. . . . They have explained most of the quantitative analyses used in educational research, and they have explicated the major theories of qualitative research. They have introduced the research techniques in a clear manner accessible to a broad audience inside and outside of the education field.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"MARGIN: 0px\"\u003e            --Xiaofeng Steven Lui, University of South Carolina\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pearson Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46287096119534,"sku":"9780132868631","price":146.63,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/applying-educational-research","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
