Critical Research and Evaluation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Research is, in effect, an art of applying a set of skills in solving a researchable problem. Such a stated goal often gives both student and teacher a great deal of difficulty when the development of research skills must conform to the time limitation of one semester or one or two courses in research. Critical Research and Evaluation is a "layman's" guide to understanding and conducting basic research. It is a guide to "action" research with real world applications in local settings.
