| Description: |
This guide to quantitative research argues that the conventional distinction between primary and secondary research data is inadequate, since there is enormous need/opportunity for conducting research through using and reinterpreting secondary data. |
| Synopsis: |
A changing climate for educational research; sampling - the basis for all research; collecting secondary data - the idle researcher; simple analysis - index wars and other battles; surveying the field - questionnaire design; simple non-parametric statistics - minding your table manners; experimental approaches - a return to the gold standard; elementary parametric statistics - what do they signify?; progress via regression - introducing correlations. |
