This book will help postgraduate students to acquire the skills and understanding they need in order to produce research to the high standards required. It serves as a methods text and is appropriate for use on MPhil, EdD and PhD courses in education and social sciences, as well as on MA and MEd courses. The book provides diagrammatic planning guides, abbreviated commentaries on research models, specifications for research proposals and lecture notes. It has been derived from course materials used successfully in education and social science departments in the UK and Australia.
