Description
Trade ReviewThis book would fit beautifully into our graduate program. Phillips has hit the nail on the head by including introductions to research types with actual examples from the literature. I especially like the idea of the Study and Discussion Questions (and the foci of the particular ones he has chosen), and the Suggested Activities. I appreciate how Phillips pushes students into new areas without frightening them. I applaud the inclusion of qualitative and action research. I would adopt this text into a music education research course in a second. * Bruce Gleason, University of St. Thomas *
I would like to say bravo for putting this text together. I think we need it in our field, and I appreciate the level-headed approach. Phillips does a good job of covering all the methodologies. And I like that he uses articles to illustrate the different methodologies. * Diana Hollinger, San Jose State University *
