5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for the novice researcher
If you are new to research and trying to understand what makes a "good" study, get this book! From the simple to use step-by-step analysis of research to the simple to understand discussions, this is a definite must read for the novice researcher! It lays out (in simple terms) the components of research and how to promote your own understanding of research. Great book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource for new Graduate Students and professional
Need this for graduate research course this semester. A bit wordy but breaks down difficult concepts for the reader to understand and apply. Great for students especially new Graduate students who want or need a solid foundation in research.
4.0 out of 5 stars Textbook: Reading & Understanding Research (3rd ed.) by Locke, Silverman, & Spirduso
I bought this book from Bolo because the bookstore at my university was very expensive. I needed the textbook for my Ph.D. course in reading education and research.The spin was extremely tight and it was difficult to read, but I took it to my local office store & had it spiraled. Now I am enjoying it more, and it is very easy to thumb through the pages and type exact expert quotes without placing a weight on the pages.The cover is durable and did not require lamination. The spin is also very durable, thick, and glossy. The paper is of the highest quality and tone for reading in both low & bright light. The print type is excellent and boldly displayed for easy reading.The index is extremely helpful, and the boldly printed subheaders are helpful in navigating through the topics and responding to questions.
5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and easy to understand
Deciding to get your Masters Degree at an advanced age has its drawbacks. #1 You have to learn new stuff. This includes how to do research. Don't worry, if you brain has rusted shut. This book will help you get it all moving again. Well written and easy to understand. I have a great teacher and we use this book as well as Research Design by John W. Creswell. I think the two work well together in helping me understand how to look at the world through the academic eye of research.
5.0 out of 5 stars Useful!
Great help in Graduate work
5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative
This book raised several good points about studying research and evaluating it. I gleaned several good ideas from it. I think in the future it will be a good reference for me.
3.0 out of 5 stars Not for anyone with research experience
This might make a perfect introduction to research, but as someone who has taken research courses, completed an undergrad thesis, and is working on a master's thesis, I found it very uninformative. Even for the novice, I dare say the authors could make this work far more concise; way too many words used to say simple things and far too much repetition of simple ideas.
