| Description: | Select Guide Rating There is now a great need for people within education (both students and teachers) to engage critically with research and it is supported by the Department for Education, Ofsted and the teaching community. This books shows how to read journal articles critically, how to assess the robustness of research claims and the relevance of the results. If you’re studying education much of what you do is informed by educational research but how do you interpret it effectively? How do you judge whether results are valid or relevant? This is the perfect guide to engaging with educational research. It explores how to read journal articles critically; what key academic terms really mean; different approaches to educational research, how they are used and what they aim to uncover, and how high quality findings can be meaningful for teaching and learning. Supported by examples that demonstrate the use (and misuse) of research in education, this is your essential guide to understanding and effectively using research. |
