Educational Research: Competencies for Analysis and Applications
This is one of the worst stats text books I have ever seen. It is very hard for someone with a logical mathematical background to understand. Most statistical problems are addressed in text versus examples. I would never suggest this book to anyone!!!

My only complaint about it was that the cover is warped. I bought a new book, had it delivered next-day, and it won’t close properly.
The book has a lot of good information in it. I can see why my instructor chose it for the course in which I am enrolled.

Much of the book’s material is not restricted to educational research. It is generally applicable to anyone who wants to perform experimental studies in the social sciences. Where you need to deal with human subjects. Granted, in the book, these subjects are often primary school kids.
But the guidelines given in such matters as the general steps for qualitative research, data collection and data analysis are quite general. Likewise further in the book, when it discusses quantitative research.
The book’s discussion of statistics is necessarily abbreviated; directed at a reader unfamiliar with chi square tests and the like. But still easily understood.

Merchandise purchase was as expedited as its advertisement. In all seriousness, the book was worth much more than the price paid for it. Thank you Amazon and sellers of used books.
