Conducting Research in Educational Contexts Reviews

'Provides a fresh and lively approach to issues of undertaking diverse studies across a broad spectrum. It raises questions and challenges students to think and consider moral questions too.' Professor Miriam David, Institute of Education, University of London, UK
'This is a thoughtful, accessible, 'no-nonsense' guide to educational research written for the novice researcher. Research supervisors should point their candidates towards this helpful 'one-stop' shop for good practical ideas on conducting robust educational research.' Professor Richard James, University of Melbourne, Australia
'Where was this book during the last five years when I was working with so many educational professionals on their dissertations? We could have used this book! The step-by-step process outlines are clear for people new to research and accurately reflect the best of research theory. This text would also be an excellent on the shelf immediate reference for educators who want to conduct on site research in their schools and classrooms after they have finished their theses and dissertations.' Diane Dunlap, Adjunct Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership, University of Oregon, USA
Reviewed in Teacher Development.
