The Classroom Researcher Using Applied

The Classroom Researcher: Using Applied Research to Meet Student Needs is designed for teachers, administrators, and professional developers interested in learning how research can be used to improve instruction. This manual, which provides introductory guidance to the research process in a simple and nonstatistical format, begins with an overview of educational research and identifies the types and purposes of research designs. It also explains how and why research is used in education. Readers are then guided through the process of identifying a problem, compiling a literature review that synthesizes research related to the problem, and developing a product that addresses the problem.
