Schools are complex institutions. They do not easily reveal
themselves to researchers who rely on only one or two methods.
Understanding a school, its neighbourhood and its students requires
a researcher with a more complex repertoire of verbal, statistical
and visual research strategies. Place-Based Methods for Researching
Schools shows how multiple methods can be used together to research
schools, rather than dealing with decontextualised methods, one by
one. Taking a novel theoretical approach to the school as a
'place', the book offers grounded illustrations of schools as
places from real case study and ethnographic research conducted in
both Australia and the UK. A practical guide, this book explores
the on-the-ground questions researchers are likely to face in the
order they are likely to face them. The chapters not only look at
data generation approaches, but also address analysis of the data
and writing about the school, topics that are often ignored.
Methods explored for use include those drawn from urban planning
and geography to explore neighbourhoods, visual surveys, mapping,
classroom observation, ethnographic observation, interviews, focus
groups, sociograms and linguistic corpora. Including research tips
from the authors, case studies, a glossary and annotated further
reading list, this book is essential reading for students and
scholars approaching their research project.
