Fondements et étapes du processus de recherche, 4e édition

Fundamentals and Steps of the Research Process is an essential educational resource for learning quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research. It also introduces readers to important critical aspects of scientific research, including ethics and social issues.

Reflecting the scientific research process, the textbook is divided into five phases: conceptual, methodological, empirical, analytical, and dissemination.

This book maintains the scientific rigor and educational qualities that have contributed to its reputation since the earliest editions. Numerous references to recent studies help connect theory with its practical application. The chapters contain numerous tables, examples, and highlighted sections to facilitate understanding of the material. Finally, conceptual diagrams help readers clearly identify the different phases of research and understand their place within the overall research process.

This fourth edition has been enhanced with new content and tools designed to facilitate learning:

• Expanded content on qualitative research;
• Two new chapters: one on quantitative research designs and another on meta-analyses;
• Progressive-difficulty exercises related to various disciplines;
• Reading guides and worksheets.
