“The organization of the text reflects the author’s intent, philosophy, and objectives . . . [Mertens] clearly presents approaches, descriptions, and many examples useful in conducting studies; she is to be commended for the thoroughness of her work.”
“Very comprehensive for beginning doctoral students . . . I wish more authors recognized the importance of addressing diverse perspectives and approaches.”
“As a researcher, the presentation offers a fresh approach. It is critical to look at research from a transformative paradigm. Most methods texts do not even attempt to do this.”
“Excellent descriptions, definitions, examples, and narrative about social science theory and the various paradigms. Mertens [first] breaks these challenging concepts into increments and then continues to use the paradigmatic language throughout the text. This allows students new to the material to contextualize methodology, method, and paradigm . . . This is useful as students grapple with understanding how each of these tenets differs and how they are interconnected. This text does the best job in explaining these challenging theories. Mertens’ use [of] a wide variety of social identities to provide her examples makes the text inclusive of a variety of diverse identities. It is also useful to see the differences between [research and evaluation] and to select methods appropriate to the intention of the inquiry.”
Fits the course well, it is research methods for CBT students and Psychology students. Has a nice mix of different styles of research methods.
Very good book about research - not only for psychologists, but for anybody who deals with surveys, questionnaires, experiments and/or qualitative methods.
This book provides excellent complementary content to John Creswell's Research Design text.
Particularly the Chapter on Qualitative Research is very valuable. In my own research and my student research project, we typically do quanitative research, however many students are interested in qualitative approaches, which is why I added this as supplemental reading.
This is a well-written and comprehensive resource that would help our MA students to explore in more depth quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods of a research investigation. Very useful for the final year students who work on their dissertations.
This is a comprehensive research methods book ideal for those in programme such as the MA in Education for the healthcare professionals. It is written in a clear manner and its structure makes the content relevant for those teachers and educators finding their way in educational research.
