✦ Synopsis

The book aims to show how students' own choice of research topic can be refined into a manageable research question and how the most appropriate methodologies can be applied. Each section draws on actual examples from research that the authors and their students have conducted. Topics covered include: choosing a research question and method; instrument design and pilot data; practical procedures; research with children; looking at statistics; and interpretation of results.

Key Features:

Based on the authors' practical experience as researchers and teachers and is thus accessible, practical and 'how to'.
Includes students' own work as examples.
Bridges the 'divide' between social science and humanities research methods and will therefore appeal to a broad range of students and teachers.
