Foundations of Educational Research by Victoria Elliott
Foundations of Educational Research will give you a solid grounding in education as a discipline, introducing the key concepts, theorists, and terms which underpin educational research from Dewey and Piaget, to ethics, ontology and bias. The book sets the scene for education as a field which emerges from psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics and history, and explores the difficulties and opportunities this creates for new educational researchers. You will be introduced to the many approaches within educational research, from applied linguistics to pedagogy, from child development to higher education, to comparative education and ed-tech. The key debates in the field are clearly explained, including the tensions between theory and method, and quantitative vs. qualitative approaches. The book introduces all the key referents you will need as a new student of education, whether undergraduate or graduate level, as you begin your journey into educational research.
In this accessible and illuminating text, Victoria Elliott provides the reader with essential knowledge for navigating the dynamic field of contemporary education research* Andrew Wilkins, Reader in Education Policy, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK *
