Internationally known, respected and used, the text provides readers with the skills they need to design and implement a research investigation and critically evaluate published research reports. Now completely revised and updated to reflect the latest trends in quantitative and qualitative research, this classic offers a focused, 'how-to' approach. New in this edition include: expanded discussion of qualitative approaches; demonstration triangulation; stronger emphasis on the 'hands-on, how-to' methodology; more in-depth examination of research differences; and, more powerful research utilization.
