Summary: Very valuable intro to quantitative and qualitative res.
Comment: I found this to be a very valuable book, and have recommended it to several of my colleagues and doctoral students. I have also cited it in two papers so far, one to appear in Educational Action Research, Vol 7, no 3 (1999). The book is unusual in that it deals in depth with both quantitative and qualitative research, showing equal respect for both. It explains in a systematic and plausible way underlying similarities of logic between the two approaches. This will pave the way to greater understanding between practitioners of the two approaches and, one hopes, broader utilization of the insights of each.
The explanation of basic concepts of research such as reliability and validity and methodologies such as case study, ethnography, and grounded theory is remarkably clear, and once again helps the reader see links between quantitative and qualitative work. While the book does not claim to provide detailed help with research methodology, it takes the reader to the point where one knows where to start and where to go for additional help. Most importantly it will promote understanding of the research process rather than uncomprehending application of techniques. In my view, the book represents a very important step forward in thinking about research in education and other social science fields.
