Written specifically for the practitioner-researcher, the book makes clear and explicit links between the practices of teaching, and the practices of education research. Short case studies throughout are realistic in their message, and will be instantly recognisable to teachers at a range of stages in their careers.
This book is a must for students writing a dissertation. IT covers everything and is very user friendly.
Suitable for a wide range of researchers. Easily accessible and relevant for practitioners and students

This is a great introductory text for those who want to start doing education research. It is well laid out and focuses on areas of research likely to be useful for practitioners. We are using it with an international audience on our course as it is well presented with easy to understand sections, chapter summaries, references and helpful models.
Clearly written book divided into three sections; the planning of data collection (what needs to be considered, the data collection including a subsection on ethical issues that need to be borne in mind and the third section which looks at the analysis of data.

great for supporting the masters project
Developing teachers as researchers is central to classroom and whole school improvement. This book provides the necessary guidance without over complication to support the novice practitioner researcher. This will be a valuable addition to the recommended reading list on our MA Education programme.

This is a good supplementary publication for those starting educational research.
Nicely set out, takes you through all of the necessary steps, particularly for the first time researcher. some good examples provided and a gentle introduction to both qualitative and quantitative methods and analysis. nice clear diagrams and graphs which directly relate to the text or the example being given. I will be recommending this book to my students as a good introductory text.
Really useful in providing an accessible guide to approaching Education research- good for those starting education reasearch at post graduate level along side their teaching practice.
This is a really good introduction to educational research. Its main strength, in my opinion, is that it emphasises the 'so what' question and places everything in a practical, intuitive context. (The academic and professional background of the authors is of clear help!)
A valuable resource that will help many students regard their dissertations as a lot more than jumping through an administrative hoop. Great for undergraduate and MA students.
Doing you Education Research Project (2nd Ed.) is a practical book which is aimed to cater practitioners working towards their educational research topic. Each chapter has objectives, several case studies and references. One of the best chapters is focusing of ethical issues (e.g. examples how to write participant information sheets, consent form etc.). I would recommend this book for level 6 and onwards.
Accessible and easy to navigate with well-structured headings and sections. Straightforward covering a useful overview of methods.
Excellent research providing a great start point for this subject. Particularly good is the section on Ethics.
This is a useful text for all undergraduates. It uses case studies and provides working examples which are easy to follow. The tables and diagrams illuminate complex aspects of research making this a very accessible text.
