Marvelous Examples On Quality Early Childhood Research Techniques

If you are an early childhood researcher and you need a book that gives you an excellent compilation of insight on what works best for designing a study, Hatch's book gives some of the best, clearest examples that I have read thus far. He takes a balanced approach by highlighting quantitative, ethnographic, interview-based, and mixed designs. The first half of the book does an excellent job of highlighting research paradigms from an early childhood perspective. Worth The Money!
