Purchase options and add-ons

Based on the popularIntroduction to Social Research Methods, this book offers a highly accessible, clear and engaging introduction to research in education, which has been carefully and extensively developed to fully meet the needs of those studying in education and related fields.

 

Introduction to Research Methods in Education assumes no previous knowledge of the subject, and focuses on helping the reader develop a clear conceptual understanding of the nature of empirical research in education, and of how those ideas lead to, and underlie, the principal research techniques. Qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches are covered, along with practical guidance on issues such as how to prepare a research proposal, write a literature review, and analyse different types of data.

 

This book is an ideal introduction to researching in an educational context for students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and will be a must-have for anyone studying on a research methods course or doing a research project for themselves.

Product description

Review

′[This book ] is well targeted, with the usual range of summaries, suggestions for further reading, study questions and exercises, and boxed examples. The chapters on quantitative research design, data collection and analysis are particularly well pitched for novice researchers, and I can certainly see how these chapters could be used in a teaching and learning context, with students new to, or with little confidence of quantitative approaches′ -

4.0 out of 5 stars great textbook choice
Reviewed in the United States on 6 May 2012

I had difficulty getting my students started on their research project via finding out "a problem" to research. Then I came across this textbook and saw that instead of asking for "a problem", it asks for a research question (THE research question, and subsidiary research questions), as a framework for the whole research. I have found this idea more pedagogicaly suitable for my students to grasp, as questions are somewhat easier for them to come by than problems---even though in practice they might amount close to the same thing. I teach undergraduate level students.
