Summary
This accessible and authoritative introduction is essential for education students and researchers needing to use quantitative methods for the first time.
Using datasets from real-life educational research and avoiding the use of mathematical formulae, the author guides students through the essential techniques that they will need to know, explaining each procedure using the latest version of SPSS. The datasets can also be downloaded from the book′s website, enabling students to practice the techniques for themselves.
This revised and updated second edition now also includes more advanced methods such as log linear analysis, logistic regression, and canonical correlation.
