"Educational research is a very human process and, therefore, is prone to error and bias. Researchers have developed procedures to minimize the influence of error and bias on their findings. In this respect, the approach to educational inquary that involves conducting research is different from other approaches to learning about education and improving it." Meridith D. Gail, Joyce P. Gail, and Walter R. Brog (Educational Research: An Introduction (8th Ed) , 2007) |
