At some point or other in their academic careers, most
tertiary-level students will become engaged in the planning and
execution of research projects. It is a fundamental part of further
education that many students find daunting, which need not be the
case. First steps in research uses the most current perspectives in
the field both locally and internationally to provide theoretical
and practical guidelines on how to conduct and report on research
at undergraduate and postgraduate level. First steps in research
brings together the views of academics, theorists, researchers, and
practitioners. It presents perspectives and theory on how to
facilitate the understanding and application of theories, goals,
methods, and strategies. The book is easy to read and use without
diluting the conceptual and terminological complexities of the
field. It examines the historical and philosophical underpinnings
of qualitative, quantitative, and integrative (integrated) or mixed
methods of conducting research, and suggests how these three
approaches may be used most appropriately. It also elaborates on
the methodological dimensions of action research processes and
exemplifies participatory reflection. First steps in research is
aimed at scholars, academics, researchers, and Master's and
doctoral students conceptualising and conducting research as well
as undergraduate students or junior postgraduate students who are
encountering research methodology for the first time.
