Description

Are you about to start your dissertation in education? Not sure what methods to use? Providing you with an invaluable starting point, this book gives practical information about a variety of research methods, including their pros and cons, things you need to consider before using each method and crucially, what they are not suitable for. It looks at the most commonly used methods as well as some you might not have come across before. Each chapter features examples and activities, and will help you answer these questions: - What can this method tell me? - When might I use it? - What ethical issues do I need to consider? - What is the key terminology I need to know? - How can I design a dissertation project with this method? - How do I analyse my data? - What is this method not suitable for? Written in uncomplicated language, it is a student-friendly resource to dip into, with links to further reading for more in-depth exploration of any particular method.
