Replication research in education: a guide to designing, conducting, and analysing studies

In an emerging research space, it is a tall order to compile a litany of literature, synthesise complex concepts, and incorporate rapidly evolving perspectives. In Keith Morrison’s Replication Research in Education: A Guide to Designing, Conducting, and Analysing Studies, he makes this daunting task doable. This textbook unpacks replication research at a high level while diving deeper into what one might consider when designing their own study.
