A Student's Guide to Methodology
- Peter Clough - University of Brighton, UK
- Cathy Nutbrown - University of Sheffield, UK
New to this edition are the following:
- new boxes and guidance on research ethics in every chapter
- more international examples and perspectives
- up to date coverage of online research methods
- more examples from real students
- a new companion website, featuring Powerpoint slides for lecturers
The authors take an applied approach and every chapter contains a variety of practical examples from real research. Readers are encouraged to reflect on their own practice at every step, meaning that the book remains extremely relevant throughout. 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.
I found this book really easy to understand and follow - the use of case studies/examples, activities in addition to the 'pause for reflection' sections - an extremely 'reader friendly' book taking a practical approach to faciliating understanding and reflection. I would strongly recommend when students are at the stage of developing a critical research approach and deciding on their research method.
