Theory and Methods in Social Research

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.
