Intended for students undertaking research in early childhood, this introductory text outlines the strengths and limitations of major research methods, and walks through the steps of a research project. It stresses the difference between undertaking primary and secondary research, and the importance in both contexts of critiquing the research of others. The book explains specific approaches such as surveys, ethnography, case studies, and action research. Methods including observation, interviewing, and journaling are described. Practical information is provided on designing a small-scale research project, analyzing data, writing up a piece of research, and writing a literature review. Each chapter contains objectives, case studies, and reflection points. The language used throughout is accessible, and a glossary is included. The authors are lecturers in early childhood studies at London Metropolitan University. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
