research field.  Authors, Jim Schreiber and Kimberly Asner-Self have chosen to focus on the research question in Educational Research, First Edition because it is core element around which a research study revolves and evolves. Within the text, Key Ideas sections are presented in each chapter act as an organizing mechanism and look at the big picture of that chapter.  Many of the writing activities are open-ended questions that allow students to write questions or what they are thinking about the topic at that point.  Case study examples are also integrated throughout to demonstrate how decisions are made and how they affect everything within a study.  This text will enable students to create the most effective studies.
