Description
Written in a clear and friendly manner, Research Methods for Education, 2/e takes the student by the hand and guides them through the complex subject of research methods in an engaging, witty and clear way. It follows a mixed methods approach, which doesn't simply prioritise quantitative or qualitative methods, allowing for greatest possible coverage. It also contains excellent international examples and case studies specifically from education, which breaks way from a parochial focus on UK education system.
Research Methods for Education takes a refreshing approach to research methods from an author who clearly understands the pitfalls students encounter in the selection, justification and application of methods to their projects. Practical but with a strong theoretical base, it ensures that students are well informed about the research choices they are making.
