Research Methods in Education
The book is divided into three coherent sections:
- Conceptual, methodological and ethical issues in researching children's experiences
- Methods for conducting research with children
- The generation and analysis of text
Researching Children's Experience provides examples of how researchers from a variety of social science perspectives have set about carrying out research into children's experience. Useful to students embarking on a research project, and to experienced researchers wishing to explore new methods, Greene and Hogan's book is an essential addition to anyone doing research on children. It will be especially useful to those in developmental psychology, education, nursing and other disciplines interested in studying children's experience.
A very good and useful book on qualitative research with children. It is located within the field of childhood studies but offers fruitful perspectives on how qualitative research can also be applied to developmental psychology projects.
Researching children, and particularly children's experiences is a complex task. This book targets this very important and difficult area.
This is an excellent book on research methods used sensitively with children. It is scientific and ethical and is a superb all round text for teachers, play therapists and other professionals working with children. It is particularly good for advanced researchers in the area of early years care and education.
Excellent text for any researcher keen to do research with children.
helpful for students working in an early years context
A well written book that works at a more advanced level than many introductory texts. It is particularly useful for building understanding once research concepts have been initially understood. Its focus on textual gathering and analysis is especially strong.
This is a useful text for those students wanting to consolidate their understanding of educational research, particularly in early years settings. Comprehensive and informative.
This book is well written and drives the reader to really consider a variety of aspects of research and the child's experiences. The referencing at the end of each chapter is really helpful to direct the students development in reading and further investigation.
There are some really good sections in this book. I particularly liked the chapter by Greene and Hill which will be very useful for postgraduate students beginning research with young children.
