Cover von James Williams: How to Read and Understand Educational Research (ePUB)

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.
