Sinopsis:

Educational research plays a central role in improving teaching quality, learning effectiveness, and educational decision making. In contemporary educational contexts, teachers, researchers, and graduate students are increasingly expected not only to consume research findings but also to design, conduct, and interpret research in ways that are methodologically sound and pedagogically meaningful. This book, Research Designs and Methods in Education and EFL, is written to support that growing need. This book is designed as a practical and conceptual guide to major research designs commonly used in education and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) research. Rather than treating research methods as abstract procedures detached from classroom realities, the chapters in this book emphasize the relationship between research purposes, research designs, data types, and research claims. Each design is explained in terms of what it can legitimately conclude, how evidence should be interpreted, and how findings can inform educational practice responsibly. The book covers a range of research approaches, including case study research, correlational research, descriptive quantitative research, survey research, classroom action research, research and development (R&D), and sequential explanatory mixed methods design. These approaches are selected because they represent the most frequently used designs in educational and EFL research, particularly in undergraduate theses, graduate dissertations, and practitioner-based studies. Throughout the chapters, methodological explanations are supported with illustrative examples drawn from language education and classroom contexts, helping readers bridge theory and practice.
