- Educational Research: A Guide to the Process. Experimental Edition. Wallen, Norman E. Educational Research Graduate Students Research Design Research Methodology Textbooks An inductive text to be used in introductory courses in educational research is presented. Rather than drawing conclusions for students, the author provides them with a series of exercises that allows them to experience what doing research actually means. The students learn to identify researchable issues, formulate and analyze research questions and hypotheses, prepare operational definitions, do library and field investigations, analyze instruments for validity and reliability, analyze the adequacy of samples and the validity of conclusions drawn from such samples, analyze data they collect from a sample themselves, and draw warranted conclusions from these data. The emphasis throughout is on actively engaging the student in the kinds of operations that researchers perform rather than making him merely a passive recipient of the information that the textbook provides.
