Praise for the first edition:
'Not merely a how-to book, it reviews the conceptual framework of research methods in the social and behavioural sciences and provides tangible stories from the field that illustrate the application of specific techniques and the process of conducting research. . . . This work affords a concise overview of qualitative and quantitative methodologies in the social science. . . . Highly recommended' - R.V. Labaree
University of Southern California, CHOICE
The book is really good but more suited to higher levels of study - i.e PG. Developing PG Healthcare courses in 2021/2022 and this book will work perfectly for the programmes.
Something in there for all social science researchers
An excellent book that is well written explaining key concepts for the research. Highly recommended.
A clear and comprehensive text which supports the development and understanding of research methods.
Good use of theory and research methods.
Good range of methodologies presented in readbale form and in depth.
An impressive text that goes beyond the introductory' level. Good coverage of essential areas, written in a student-accessible language and format
This text gives excellent coverage of many areas of social science research. A really useful introduction for students embarking on a postdoctoral course of study, answering many questions which will continue to arise as they progress through their research degree. A constantly useful companion.
Fantastic book. With the nature of our students carrying out both qual and quant work, this book is highly recommended.
This book gives student some key discussion and example of research methods in social research.
This is a key text for several research based modules on MA in Learning and Teaching. A wide range of social science research methods are introduced which offers opportunity for researchers to make informed choices when considering methods and methodology. Each chapter presents the material in a logical sequence and format: key concepts are highlighted, the implications for research design are explored and, where applicable, illustrated with 'stories from the field'. In addition the annotated bibliography supports further investigation.
Recommended for Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education Practice. An excellent point of reference for key qualitative and quatitative research methodologies and methods.
Accessible text for dissertation module particularly.
A great book, very informative, addressing the current issues and dilemma's that we are facing at this moment. Very helpful. The chapters are rather short: I would have liked more of it.
This is a supplemental text for M level students on the MA Early Years course. The content of the book provides students with the range of methodological choices available to them in an accessible yet stimulating format.
This text was useful for the Research methods module we facilitate on the MA Creative Media course at University of Brighton
This is an excellent research theory and methods book for those with an initial grasp of key concepts who wish to develop their understanding and knowledge. The chapters are written in a way that enables one to 'dip into' relevant themes when needed. This will be an essential text on the course for MA level students.
Situates theory and methods really well.
A sound text that supports students well within this field of study.
