Evidence-based inquiry is emphasized in two ways: (1) Introductory chapters focus on the added importance of data driven decision-making, (2) Methodological chapters provide explicit guidelines for conducting empirical studies.Always learning.EducationResearchEvaluationEducational statisticsEducationResearchEvaluation.Educational statistics.370.72McMillan James H.1374714Schumacher SallyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910150355903321Research in education3410877UNINA
