Bloomsbury Research Methods for Education series

The Bloomsbury Research Methods for Education series was edited by NCRM Co-Director Professor Melanie Nind.

Each volume discusses prevailing, less obvious and more innovative methods and approaches for the particular area of educational research.

More targeted than general methods textbooks, these authoritative yet accessible books are invaluable resources for students and researchers planning their research design and wanting to explore methodological possibilities to make well-informed decisions regarding their choice of methods.
