Report
I would thoroughly recommend this latest edition of an already comprehensive guide. The breadth and depth of coverage are impressive and make this book invaluable reading for any education student planning to complete their research project within a school setting. Of particular merit are the very accessible chapters on research paradigms, and the insightful new chapter on disseminating research, blogs and social media.
