Research Methods for Education

About this book

This book provides a complete exploration of educational research, guiding readers through the essential concepts, methods, and practices used to study and evaluate education systems. The introductory chapter sets the establishment by defining educational research and its significance in shaping policy and practice. Subsequent chapters introduce key research paradigms, highlighting the differences between qualitative and quantitative approaches, and emphasize the importance of literature review in framing research questions. Detailed discussions on both research methods—quantitative and qualitative—equip readers with the skills to design studies and interpret findings. A critical chapter on education indicators demonstrates how data can be used to measure educational outcomes and inform decision-making. Experimental research is examined, with a focus on its role in establishing cause-and-effect relationships within educational contexts. The book also addresses key methodological concerns, such as validity, reliability, and the application of sampling techniques in research. Inferential statistics and research tools are explained to help readers analyze data effectively. Finally, the book covers the essential processes of data collection and analysis, providing readers with the practical knowledge needed to conduct rigorous educational research. This resource is invaluable for students, researchers, and educators aiming to deepen their understanding of the complex and dynamic field of educational research.
