Abstract	This major work captures cutting-edge and seminal practice from around the world in quantitative research in education, as well as looking back at some of the classic papers that have changed the way we work forever. It encompasses innovations in secondary analysis, surveys, experiments, statistical modeling, and sampling over thirty years. It showcases the methodological side of such innovations alongside reports of substantive results of great significance for educational policy and practice that emerge when using them. The articles included combine a good range of methodological approaches presented by a strong mix of top-name authors from around the world. ... Education research has frequently been an arena for important debates about the viability and validity of specific quantitative approaches. Even some of the most widely used techniques in education research, including those illustrated in Volume One, have been questioned over the years. And some of the techniques specifically developed in and for education research, such as those illustrated in Volume Two, have led to important discussions about their utility. Much of what appears in this [third] volume is used to exemplify these debates, leading to a reconsideration of what we mean by quantitative methods, and how we should conduct and report quantitative research in education.
