Using a spare style that doesnt get in the way of the instructor, McBurney takes students step-by-step through all stages of research including choosing the problem, the literature search, the nuts and bolts of research protocol, research ethics, and the publication process. Increased coverage of survey research and non-experimental methods in this edition allows the instructor more flexibility, while updated research examples and extensive end-of-chapter material get students actively involved in research methodology.
