Practical Research: Design and Process, Global Edition Summary

Practical Research: Design and Process, Global Edition by Jeanne Ormrod

Practical Research is an engaging, cross-disciplinary guide to research methodology. The text is your do-it-yourself, how-to manual for planning and conducting research. Suitable for a wide variety of courses in basic research methodology, the book uses a conversational tone, step-by-step instructions, and practical suggestions to guide you from the selection of a problem to the preparation of a completed report.

The 13th Edition includes the latest technology-based strategies and tools for conducting and planning research. Other key updates include a greater focus on the ethics of research, new illustrative examples from a range of disciplines, expanded discussions of action research and participatory designs, and more.
