520			_aDoing Educational Research: A Guide for First-Time Researchers is a practical introductory textbook that helps beginning researchers understand and conduct educational research systematically. Edited by Clive Opie, the book explains the complete research process in clear, accessible language, making it especially valuable for students undertaking dissertations, research projects, or thesis work in education. The book guides readers through identifying research problems, reviewing literature, developing research questions, selecting appropriate research designs, choosing qualitative or quantitative methods, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting findings. It also addresses ethical issues in research, questionnaire design, interviewing, observation, sampling, report writing, and presenting research results. Practical examples, case studies, and step-by-step guidance help novice researchers apply research principles effectively. Written primarily for students in education and teacher training, the book is equally useful for beginning researchers in the social sciences. It emphasizes good research practice, critical thinking, and methodological rigor while providing practical advice for planning and completing successful educational research projects.
