Preface NEW TO THE ELEVENTH EDITION Every year brings exciting new strategies in research methodologies, making any updated edi- tion of Practical Research a joy to write. With this eleventh edition, the book has been revised in numerous ways. As always, every page has been revisited—every word, in fact—and many minor changes have been made to tighten the prose or enhance its clarity.
Also, discussions of technology-based strategies have been updated to reflect not only new software options but also the increasing technological sophistication of most of our readers. Probably the two most noteworthy changes in this edition are the addition of a new chap- ter and a reorganization of some of the other chapters. In response to reviewers’ requests, the tenth edition’s chapter “Qualitative Research” has been expanded into two chapters, “Qualita- tive Research Methods” and “Analyzing Qualitative Data.” Discussions of quantitative research methods now precede (rather than follow) discussions of qualitative methodologies, and the chapter on analyzing quantitative data now immediately follows the two chapters on quantita- tive methodologies. Other significant changes in the eleventh edition are these: ■ Chapter 1.
Revision of Figure 1.1 and accompanying text to include seven (rather than six) steps in order to better align with discussions that follow in the chapter; new section on philosophical underpinnings of various methodologies; new discussion of quantitative vs. mixed-methods research (moved from its previous location in Chapter 4); dis- 6f87e 1b11a 932da b860 f81 b6 f9bdc3 2eca c777 6e0cf7 b60da 52f6cf66 b5ff294 1e747 e cussion of the iterative nature of research; expansion of Table 1.1; revision of the guidelines e1b11a9 32da b860 f81 b6f9bdc32 ecac7776 e0cf7b60da5 2f6 cf66b5ff2941e 747e 6f8 7 932dab860 f81b6f9 bdc32e cac7776e 0cf7b6 0da5 2f6 cf66b5ff2 941e 747e6 f87e 1b1 1a for using word processing software to focus on features that readers may not routinely use in 860f8 1b6 f9bdc32eca c77 76e0 cf7 b60 da52 f6cf66 b5ff29 41e74 7e6f87e1 b11a9 32da b their day-to-day writing.
