Overview

This book provides a clear and straightforward guide for all those seeking to conduct quantitative research in the field of education, using primary research data samples.

Non-parametric Tests

While positioned as less powerful and somehow inferior, non-parametric tests can be very useful where the research can only be designed to accommodate data structure which is ordinal, or scale but violates a normality assumption, which is required for parametric tests.

Importance in Educational Research

Non-parametric data are a staple of educational research, and as such, it is essential that educational researchers learn how to work with these data with confidence and rigour.
