Introduction to Educational Research by Craig A. Mertler is an introductory research methods textbook for students, teachers, and educational practitioners who are learning how to design and conduct research in school and educational settings. The third edition, published by SAGE, presents educational research as a practical process rather than as a purely technical academic specialization. Its purpose is to help novice researchers move from an initial question or problem of practice to a defensible research plan, data collection strategy, analysis, and written report. The book gives balanced attention to qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches, while emphasizing ethics, research questions, literature review, and the logic of systematic inquiry. Mertler is especially known for work on action research, and that practitioner orientation shapes the text. The book is not designed as an advanced statistics manual; instead, it explains research concepts in accessible language so readers can understand methods well enough to apply them responsibly.
