Learning from Research: Getting More from Your Data

The stories of five postgraduate research students (one doing qualitative research, the rest engaged in quantitative research) illustrate principles of planning research, collecting and analyzing data, and using various types of research tools. Although the use of statistics is discussed, focus is on the entire research process. Experimental, evaluation, and ethnographic studies are covered.
