If you want a clear description of Educational Research, this is for you!

I have just finished reading this new book: "Doing Your Education Research Project."
The writers have done a fantastic job. I think it should be compulsory pre course reading for all Educational Research programmes.
If I had been able to read it before my MA course I would have saved myself a lot of unnecessary confusion.
It has enabled me to have a more grounded view of what I am doing and how my work is placed in the research context.
I particularly like their explanation and enlightening diagram of Research terminology on page 65. It explains: Research paradigms, Research Approaches, Nature of Evidence and Research Methods and sets them in a cohesive framework. The diagram is already copied and is up on my office wall !
This is such a well written, clear, concise and practical perspective on educational research.
Highly recommended!
