This innovative book combines what most books separate: research as
practical activity and research as intellectual engagement. It
clarifies and makes explicit the methodological issues that
underlie the journey from initial research idea to the finished
report and beyond. .
. The text moves the researcher logically through the research
process and provides insights into methodology through an in-depth
discussion of methods. It presents the research process as an
engagement with text. This theme moves through the construction of
text in the form of data and the deconstruction of text in
analysis. Finally the focus moves to the reconstruction of text
through the re-presentation of the research in the report.
Following through each of these stages in turn, the chapters
consider either a practical issue or a group of methods and
interrogate the associated methodological concerns. In addition,
the book also addresses the rarely explored issues of the
researcher as writer and researcher identity as core elements of
the research process. .
. The book provides a range of insights and original
perspectives. These successfully combine practical guidance with
the invitation to consider the problematic nature of research as
social practice. It is an ideal reference for those embarking on
research for the first time and provides a new methodological
agenda for established researchers..
