Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This updated second edition extends the discussions surrounding the key qualitative methods used in contemporary educational research. Featuring comprehensive coverage of research across all stages of education, it provides sophisticated and concise discussions on both the building blocks of the field and the latest advances in research.

Bringing together international scholars, this Handbook offers exceptional insights into the theories and disciplinary approaches to qualitative study and the processes of data collection, analysis and representation, offering fresh ideas to inspire and re-invigorate researchers in educational research. Blending the ideas of both emerging authors and established academics, this Handbook explores research in formal, informal and non-formal education settings internationally.

Informative and comprehensive, this Handbook is crucial reading for academics and graduate students in educational research in search of exciting opportunities and avenues for new projects in the field. It will also be useful for practitioners and policymakers in educational settings who need a fresh and diverse illustration of the latest research.
