| Abstract | The primary goal of this book is to educate students to be intelligent consumers. This is accomplished by promoting student understanding of the researcher's intent, the procedures, and the results. Students are then shown how to analyze and evaluate research, judging the usefulness of the findings for educational practice. More specifically, the book will help students to: 1. apply the principles of scientific inquiry to everyday problem solving and decision making; 2. develop a healthy skepticism about "studies" that purport to advance our knowledge; 3. understand the process of conceptualizing and conducting educational research; 4. understand strengths and weaknesses of different methodologies used in research; 5. be able to read, understand, critique, and use published reports of research; 6. understand the probabilistic, uncertain nature of knowledge about educational practice generated through research; 7. keep a balanced perspective about the relative contributions of research and professional judgment and 8. understand how to conduct action research. These goals are reached with a concise presentation of principles for conducting research and criteria for evaluating ist overall credibility. The style of the book is informal, the language is nontechnical, and no prerequisite courses in measurement or statistics are needed. Numerous illustrations and excerpts from actual studies are highlighted as examples for familiarize students with the style and format of published articles, and to introduce students to the language of research.
