Review
'The Researcher's Toolkit provides the start-up information needed for those new to research ... It provides a sound building block from which researchers will be able to move more confidently forward and hone their research skills be they an undergraduate or postgraduate, or needing to address a research project approach whilst in employment.' - Education and Training
From the Back Cover
This is a practical rather than academic study guide designed specifically for those undertaking small-scale research. The Researcher's Toolkit is jargon-free and assumes no prior knowledge. Written by an experienced team of practising researchers, it covers the entire research process from designing and submitting a proposal through to its completion.
The book covers:
designing and framing research questions
reviewing research literature
planning research
finding and locating information
developing a research strategy
using research instruments
analysing data
reporting the research.
Useful tips and clear examples are provided to aid the reader's understanding of how to apply the basic principles of research.
This book is written for undergraduates as well as work-based researchers, particularly those involved in teacher training, education, social work, nursing, criminal justice and community work.
Customer Reviews
the most useful book on research I have yet come across
This book was incredibly helpful, I can't recommend it highly enough. Each chapter is written in an easy to understand way without being patronising - a really practical and useful guide to doing research in any area. Much more helpful than other books I have used in the past.
