Quantitative Methods in Educational Research
ISBN: 9780826453075 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The book shows how all educational researchers need to "do" quantitative research, even if only in the sense of reading other people's research findings. In fact, the book argues that the conventional distinction between primary and secondary research data is inadequate, since there is enormous...
