Doing Research: The Hows and Whys of Applied Research, Third Edition provides a clear introduction to the research methods and statistics used in education, social work, and the social sciences. The author writes in clear and accessible prose which guides the reader through the research process without losing sight of the cyclical nature of research as a whole. The emphasis is on applied research in which all the stages are demonstrated: setting up a research project, gathering data, analyzing the results, drawing conclusions, and preparing and evaluating research reports. Recent examples are linked to practical situations which students may encounter. Students are encouraged to practice research in their lives by identifying questions that come up which could be treated as research problems. The only way to get better at research is to practice!A thorough, practical text, Doing Research is appropriate as both an introductory course text and as a reference for applied research.
