Providing a logical, step-by-step approach to educational research, this handbook is the ideal companion for students embarking on a research project for the first time.

This user-friendly yet comprehensive handbook is designed as a survival guide for the inexperienced researcher. Divided into three sections, the handbook carefully guides the reader step-by-step through the whole research process, from getting started and gathering data, to making sense of the data. Accessible and down-to-earth, this handbook will prove a one-stop resource for educational researchers everywhere.

‘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!

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.'
