Product Description

Most undergraduates in teacher training, education studies and other educational contexts undertake research projects during their course, in both school and non-school settings. Written specifically for this target audience, this new core text makes clear references throughout to relevant courses and contexts. Each chapter presents a research method illustrated by actual examples from the educational research literature; in addition, chapters include links to further reading and practical activities. Hot topics such as Internet use and plagiarism are covered, while key content on literature searches, critical thinking and the development of arguments provide clear guidance and ensure academic rigour.
