Love this book. It has literally been my bible for the first 2 years of my doctorate. I would recommend buying if embarking on an doctorate/PHD.
by James Morrison
I really liked that this book gave a thorough introduction and overview to research in education which I found really useful as a new researcher. The book opened my eyes to so many important areas that I hadn’t taken into account before reading this book. Worth buying.

Amazing book, helped me massively for research method module for my dissertation. Would 100% recommend for degree/ masters+ higher!
by Gino Littardi
One of the most thorough, honest and concise texts I have bought in years.
This book may principally have educators in-mind, but you needn’t be a teacher (or a trainee teacher) to make thorough use of this text.
It’s worth every penny.
Absolutely delighted with the text: it’s a real boost to my academic pursuits and very enjoyable to read.
It ought perhaps to be required reading for trainee researchers, scientists and Psychologists, as well as teachers and lecturers.

Very good book. Nice examples. Hard-copy version is bulky and pretty uncomfortable to use. Would buy kindle version.
