Review

This text focuses on purpose and meaning rather than formulae and calculations. Concise, refreshing and meaningful. Explanations are concise without being superficial. The text guides the reader through the analysis, step-by-step. Real world statistics without the anxiety!- Dr David Harrison, formerly Research Associate at the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education and Researcher at Learning Skills NetworkA well-structured and engaging text, which successfully engages with how to design for research and take it forward to yield meaningful conclusions. This book triumphs and is highly recommended to students and researchers of education studies.- Dr Nick Jones, lecturer, Bournemouth and Poole CollegePresented in plain English, avoiding technical terms as far as possible, this book does an excellent job of presenting some complicated concepts in a clear manner. The screenshot images and clear instructions are extremely useful, providing a quick and easy introduction to the analysis of data. A highly practical guide.- Sanjay Dubey, teacher and teacher trainer, British Council
