Description:
Designed with students, for students
Eight steps, two pathways, one book. The Fifth Edition of the bestseller Research Methodology has reimagined, redesigned, and fully renovated how a textbook can help students achieve success in their methods course or research project.
Eight steps: Foolproof for any beginner researcher, the book breaks the process of designing and doing a research project into achievable stages. It delivers students from research problem to their written research report at the pace they need, with clear explanations, DIY tasks and study skills support.
In a new landscape format it presents figures, models and visualizations elegantly, so they don′t break over a page, making even complex concepts easier to understand.
Two pathways: With an innovative, beautiful design, regular progress checkpoints have been built into the book and its online resources. As students proceed through the 8 steps, each chapter provides regular opportunities for students to check understanding or give themselves a challenge. Each pathway then gives them the resources they need.
- Confused? Stop, practise with quizzes and flashcards, or use a video to look at a concept a different way.
- Up for a challenge? Access a wealth of additional material including research articles, readings, case studies, activities, bibliography tools and inspiration to pursue your curiosity, impress your lecturer, and nail your assignments.
With this one book, every student gets what they need to succeed. It is the perfect essential text for students and beginner researchers across the social sciences.
Review
Colleagues pick this book up from my desk as the pink lettering makes it stand out. Easy to read and dip into. -- Caroline Vafeas ― drupal Published On: 2019-03-17
I will order this book for our library. The book caught my attention in order to be use by master students of music, which are essentially all beginning researchers; some of them have quite a bit of trouble connecting a research project to their artistic and professional practice in music or larger cultural practice, which is most essential for how we envision research in our master programme.
The most positive points considering this book are certainly its readability and its visual appearance, with especially the latter being excellent. The chapters are written in a very clear way and should provide students with enough guidance to make steps in the research trajectories.
The critical point concerning our context of the arts is the disctinction in qualitative and quantitative research design. I certainly do understand this choice, but from the perspective of the arts this is slightly outdated and difficult to maintain, especially concerning aspects of "emergent design" that are relatively common in artistic research projects. But nevertheless, a welcome and excellent addition to the present literature. -- Dr Falk Hubner ― drupal Published On: 2019-04-12
Good book for beginner -- Dr JOHANUDIN LAHAP ― drupal Published On: 2023-12-15
This is an excellent resource on research methodology and very accessible for the students I teach. -- Dr Peter Jennings ― drupal Published On: 2021-03-01
This is a very easy book for students to follow -- Dr Sue Iris Sparks ― drupal Published On: 2019-07-10
The fifth edition is horrible. The layout and colors used for the font are nearly unreadable.
I was very happy with the previous edition. I refuse to use this one. -- John Fitzpatrick ― drupal Published On: 2019-08-01
This is an excellent book BUT this edition is HIDEOUS.
It is a weird shape and won′t fit well on our library shelves. One of my students mentioned she keeps her′s on the floor.
The text is at times pink on pink or blue on blue and the contrast is terrible - that′s an accessibility issue.
On a more subjective note, the fonts and the neons look like someone was trying to be cool and trendy and it smacks of ′hello fellow kids′. Fire the graphic designer.
I have suggested that my students buy 4th eds used if possible as it looks like a grow-up book for adults, and will fit on a bookshelf, and is actually LEGIBLE especially if they have any eye issues, colour blindness or specific learning difficulties -- Maire O′Sullivan ― drupal Published On: 2020-11-30
