Synopsis

Research in education is essential for understanding how people learn and how best one can teach them. It provides a systematic way to investigate educational phenomena and to develop evidence-based solutions to educational problems. Research methodologies in education play a critical role in ensuring that educational research is rigorous, systematic, and reliable.
This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of research methodologies used in education. It is intended for students, researchers, and practitioners who wish to conduct research in education or to understand the research that underpins educational practice.
The book covers both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, as well as mixed-methods approaches. Each chapter provides an overview of a particular methodology, including its theoretical foundations, key concepts, research design, data collection methods, data analysis techniques, and ethical considerations.
The book also provides guidance on how to design and conduct research projects in education, including how to formulate research questions, select appropriate methods, collect and analyze data, and report findings. It emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations in educational research, including informed consent, and confidentiality.
