内容説明

An insight into the education and social research community: eight researchers representing contrasting approaches from the UK, New Zealand and North America explain what they do, why they do it, its methodological basis and perceived outcomes. The main themes of their accounts are analysed and discussed by the editors, both of whom have considerable experience of teaching research methodology and methods. Although "Educational Research in Practice" makes contemporary debate about relativism and the relationship between research and the improvement of social practice more accessible, this in no way disregards the complexity of competing arguments.

内容説明

Educational Research in Practice offers valuable insights into problems faced by educational researchers. In order to convey what it is like to be a researcher, experienced practitioners from the UK, New Zealand, and North America address a common set of questions about their research: what they do; why they do it; its methodological basis; perceived outcomes. Dialogues between the book's editors and four of its contributors offer fascinating first-hand debate between Popperians and exponents of post-modernism, critical theory, indigenous research and case-study. The editors provide a set of principles for good research practice and a substantial glossary of research terms and their usage.
