Research and the Teacher

This highly successful introductory text has been updated in the light of recent debates in qualitative methodology and takes account of the changing nature of the Teacher''s role as a consequence of recent legislative changes in education. The book''s guiding principle remains simple: how to produce school-based research that is both useful and rigorous. It offers a clear pathway through the research process and provides a sound basis from which teachers can realistically conduct school-based research projects. New sections in this second edition include a discussion of the impact of feminism on educational Research; further coverage of evaluation action research and case study research; advice on writing up research; biographical approaches; and the analysis of qualitative data.
