Applying Educational Research: A Practical Guide
Although a bit dull to read, this book is helpful to candidates in an education master’s program.
Rating: 3 / 5
This book was everything it was advertised as. I was delivered fast and in good shape.
Rating: 5 / 5
Very comprehensive book on research in educational sciences. I love the fact that objectives and key terms are stated at the start of each chapter and that each chapter contains a self-check test at the end. It covers all major issues and topics without being to complicated for bachelor students. Moreover it clearly states the need for evidence-based research, as well as it feasibility in the field, in a domain overwhelmed by blind ideological debates… I’ll use it more next year with my students at the University of Luxembourg!

This is a difficult-to-understand textbook about educational research. However, one feature that is helpful is a multiple choice quiz at the end of each chapter which helps you to test your comprehension.
