Calls to understand what works in education are being made the
world over. We need to know not only what works but under what
conditions, how and why. Causation is central to this. Researchers,
educationists, readers and users of research need to know the
effects of causes and the causes of effects. This strongly
practical book helps researchers and readers of research
understand, plan and investigate causation in education. It guides
readers through statistical matters, explaining them clearly and
simply in words as well as numbers, and shows them how to
investigate qualitative causal research in education.
After introducing deterministic and probabilistic causation, the
book shows how these can be researched in different ways. It
explains:
- how to determine causes from effects and how to link theory and
practice in causal research
- how to plan and conduct causal research in education
- how to analyze, present and interpret causal data, and the
limits of causal understanding.
Containing worked examples from both qualitative and
quantitative research, Causation in Educational Research provides a
manual for practice, underpinned by a rigorous analysis of key
issues from philosophy, sociology and psychology. It will appeal to
new and established researchers, readers of educational research,
social science students and academics.
