Understanding the Research Process

Understanding the Research Process helps students understand the use of specialist vocabulary and terminology of educational and social science research. The author explores the ways in which research terminology is used, and shows students: how to use specialist research terminology appropriately; how to distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate uses of research terminology; how to understand the meaning of research terms; and, how to disseminate research in a style which is clear and easily understood. The book is for final year undergraduates and masters students in humanities, education and social science subjects.
