Looking for a more student friendly textbook.

It is a highly comprehensive and solid methodology book, solidly grounded in wide range of classical and contemporary meteorologists works in social science. Structure and content of the book is very clear and highly informative. Rich collection of further readings are very useful for researchers and research students. I would highly recommend this book.

This is an excellent book and I will be recommending it to all my students.

Written in a way which is understandable. logical structure with useful examples and summaries.

This book provides a thorough grounding in research methods in educational settings. I would recommend it for Master's, EdD and PhD levels, though undergrads would find some chapters useful too. The questions at the end of each chapter are well thought out and class discussions could well be built on them. The teacher’s notes and Powerpoints will be extremely useful materials for anyone building a research methods course. The style throughout is readable and the advice is practical.

A very useful, up to date reference book. All of the main issues in ed. research are covered effectively. Diagrams, tables and case study boxes are very useful and clearly laid out. Examples of references in specific areas are also useful. The reference list at the end is extensive.

I teach on several modules at undergraduate and masters level. All my students are work-based distance learners who carry out small scale research within their work context.
I will recommend this as a key general text. It is attractive, relevant and up-to-date with plenty of useful examples and links. In places the style is a little heavy for second year undergraduates.
The links to real research articles are most useful, and the chapter on Ethics is particularly good.

I have used this book and its examples of developing research projects with Level 6 students during 2014 - 2015. The step by step examples have proved useful case studies and provide helpful templates for students who are planning their own small -scale research projects.

While this book is geared towards Research in Education, it can be applied beyond into other specialities. The relaxation of the Qualitative and Quantitative distinctions was a breath of air as most topics need both breadth and depth. Basic concepts are explained as well as what I was looking for - the HOW TO ideas, From developing the Research Question to the analysis this helps think things through for the student who maybe thinks he knows what he is doing but should double check. Even Literature reviews are included. It is a great introduction to the world of research.

While this is for research within education, there are many ways of applying this within other areas- such as ecclesiological research. The church is not just an educational agency of course but my students are researching it in many ways from leadership organisation to how the values are applied in disparate nations. Other books in the list I am growing deal with Q &Q methods but this also addresses the ethical question of work with children and the church has such and other vulnerable groups.

a good supplement for our research methods course

Not appropriate for nursing programme

Great book developing the foundations to research methods is a must for students.

A good publication which clearly identifies research methods introducing students to various methodology including useful case studies to support individual projects.

This book could be an effective supplementary text and offer various suggested further reading.

An interesting book, but on a slighly lower learning level than those dictated by the course learning outcomes. It is recommended as additional literature for those participants who need to catch-up, but not as a definite course book

A great resource for supporting education students in their dissertations

This is a highly informative and accessible introduction to qualitative methods. I would recommend this to any student engaged in educational research at undergraduate and even Masters level.

A very useful textbook for our students and we have now adopted it as essential reading for them.

Useful as an introduction to research methods and ways forward in research proposals
