Research in Educational Settings

This volume aims to help prospective educational researchers plan their research in schools more carefully. It focuses on such issues as: access and credibility in the school; traditional issues of designing research; questions that emerge as the design is imposed on the school culture and setting particularly with regard to school staff and student assessment; the length of interventions and whether or not to schedule follow-up studies; and how to interpret and communicate findings to schools and policy makers.Using personal experiences from their field research to illustrate key concepts, the authors have also included a research project to clarify the practical issues of school research.Maruyama, Geoffrey is the author of 'Research in Educational Settings' with ISBN 9780803942080 and ISBN 0803942087.
