Description

This book is a newer edition of our previous book entitled “Introduction to Quantitative Approach in Educational Research”. It consists of 16 chapters which discuss the use of quantitative approaches in educational research. Readers will be introduced to educational research. This is followed by a discussion on research philosophies and research ethics involved in educational research. Research design, population, samples, sampling techniques, research instruments, quantitative data analysis, hypothesis testing, the use of parametric and non-parametric statistical tests will also be discussed in detail. Due to the rapid advancement of quantitative approaches in educational research, new chapters on the use of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approaches, namely Partial Least Squares SEM (PLS-SEM) and Covariance Based SEM (CB-SEM) in educational research have been added in this book. Last but not least, the writing of research reports which includes the introduction chapter, literature review chapter, methodology chapter, research findings chapter and summary, discussion and conclusion chapter will also be discussed in this book.
