This book provides a refreshing and user-friendly guide to
quantitative data analysis in education for students and
researchers. It assumes absolutely no prior knowledge of
quantitative methods or statistics. Beginning with the very basics,
it provides the reader with the knowledge and skills necessary to
be able to undertake routine quantitative data analysis to a level
expected of published research. Rather than focusing on teaching
statistics through mathematical formulae, the book places an
emphasis on using SPSS to gain a real feel for the data and an
intuitive grasp of the main concepts and techniques involved.
Drawing extensively upon up-to-date and relevant examples, the
reader will be encouraged to think critically about quantitative
research and its potential as well as its limitations in relation
to education. Packed with helpful features, this book: provides
illustrated step-by-step guides showing how to use SPSS, with
plenty of exercises to encourage the reader to practice and
consolidate their new skills makes extensive use of real-life
educational datasets derived from national surveys in the US and UK
to illustrate key points and to bring the material to life has a
companion website that contains all of the educational datasets
used in the book to download as well as comprehensive answers to
exercises and a range of other useful resources that are regularly
updated. The book will therefore appeal not only to undergraduate
and postgraduate students but also to more established and seasoned
educational researchers and lecturers and professors who have
tended to avoid or shy away from quantitative methods.
