Summary
This textbook introduces international education scholars, professionals and graduate students to quantitative research methods. It provides them with the most foundational and useful concepts in quantitative analysis, using international education themes for all examples and practice problems. Readers will have a foundation to pursue more advanced methods and analyses, whether through formal training or future individual study. The book assumes no prior knowledge of quantitative analysis and is written for individuals who are new to statistics. Practice problems are found at the end of all substantive chapters, and datasets are provided so that readers can practice the analyses that are presented. Moreover, in each chapter, different statistical approaches are illustrated with real examples from international education research. These examples provide context for each statistical method and represent a wide variety of contexts in international education research, covering a variety of international education topics and a variety of regions of the world. From the instructor perspective, these example studies could be used as additional course reading. Moreover, supplemental material provides slides that instructors can modify and use in conjunction with the text.
