It will be invaluable for all students who are doing a dissertation or taking a research methods module in education, the social sciences, business and health.
Good book which focuses on an area of research that our students find difficult.
Like the activity boxes. We will adopt this for level 6 students doing their research projects.
A Student's Guide to Methodology is a useful book for all those working in the early years and sstuding for a degree, which involves research. This will include all level 5, Foundation Degree Students (FdA students) in Portsmouth, and those on the Top Up for Education and Training programme, working in the early years and in schools, again, this involves a creative dissertation, which is to do with work-based research. Whilsst this books has is a direct development in working with MA and PHD student, it is extremely relevant for undergraduates also, as it meets research language for all students involved in ressarch. Students ought to feel at home with this book as it links directly to 'teaching' students the vitals of research and methods, ethics and literary criticality.

a very clearly written text which is very suitable for the undergraduate groups setting out on their research journey.
Useful, clear guide for students at undergraduate and post graduate levels
Good introduction to students new to educaitonal research. Many of the students we have appreciated the structure and layout of this book.
This is an excellent book and we have recommended that it should be read during the Summer break as a preparation for the Dissertation unit of the degree. It will be added to the new booklist for October 2012.
excellent text for all level of study
A wonderful book for novice and more advanced researchers. Part 2, especially, discusses in depth points that are often forgotten.
