School-based Research by Elaine Wilson
Carrying out research in school settings is an increasingly important part of Education courses at all levels. This book provides a one-stop shop of all the major aspects of such research including theoretical, practical and ethical aspects of researching with children.
′This book is an excellent resource for both researchers and their tutors and supervisorsI particularly value the way in which Wilson and her colleagues set the scene by explaining why practitioner research is important and valuable and why teachers should do school-based research. Detailed chapters then address each stage of the research process, providing real examples from research and making good use of expert and novice and researchers′ work. Reflective questions at the end of each chapter provide excellent prompts for self-evaluation and are an excellent resource for face-to-face teaching sessions. Methodologies and paradigms are also clearly addressed. The book is full of practical activities and examples that tutors can call on in their teaching and supervision and practitioner researchers can use to develop their understandings and insights. This is the best ′research methods′ textbook I am aware of for researchers′

This is a thoroughly researched and helpful contribution to the burgeoning literature on research methods, with the added advantage of being aimed specifically at teachers who have an interest in reflecting on classroom interactions, interrogating their own practice and the behaviour and performance of their students. -- Anne Pirrie * Scottish Educational Review *
