The authors argue that the last decade has seen ethnography come of age, not only as a way of doing research, but also as a way of theorizing and making sense of the world. Their approach is concerned with ethnography as process and ethnography as product. This critical celebration of ethnography explores what it can achieve in educational research.    The book features:  Thorough discussion of definitions of ethnography and its potential for use within educational research Critical introductions to the principal approaches to ethnography  Discussions of data analysis and representation and of the challenges facing ethnography Use of educational examples from real research projects throughout.  The book offers a distinctive contribution to the literature of ethnography, taking readers beyond a simplistic “how to” approach towards an understanding of the wider contribution ethnography can make to our understanding of educational processes.  Ethnography for Education is of value to final-year undergraduates and postgraduates in education and social science disciplines as well as education professionals engaged in practice-based research.

As researchers realize the potential of the visual, not only as a source but also as a means of generating data, a range of techniques has been developed which seek data that are different from those offered by more conventional qualitative research methods. The contributions to this collection start from the premise either that visual research allows a view of the social world which is not available by other means, or that its use offers a means of augmenting other methods, such as discussion and interview. Rather than providing a step-by-step guide to the use of visual methods, the various authors draw on their experience of visual research to provide critical and reflexive accounts of its use in the field, its potential for unlocking otherwise unseen places, spaces and social action and as a basis for the generation of conceptual and theoretical insight.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52428492013841,"sku":"NLS9780762310210","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52739974889745,"sku":"NIN9780762310210","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780762310210.jpg?v=1759164307"},{"product_id":"doing-fieldwork-book-christopher-pole-9780761959632","title":"Doing Fieldwork","description":"A practical and inspiring guide to getting out there and actually doing fieldwork.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52593653481745,"sku":"NLS9780761959632","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780761959632.jpg?v=1761068157"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-christopher-pole.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
