This book increases understanding of, and provides inspiration for,
the conduct of research in primary/elementary education. It
discusses and evaluates the selection and development of research
methods used for their own innovatory projects. They explore the
relationship between their choice of research methods, the
frameworks for analysis used and research findings. In so doing
they address the topical and controversial issues posed by these
methods and alternative data-gathering techniques. These include:
the case for the use of random-controlled trials to inform
policy-making and improve classroom practice the role of mixed
methods to investigate the social aspects of inclusion children as
researchers researching their peers the relationship between
research and teacher development an analysis of the portrayal of
teachers and education in the regional and national news the
contribution of qualitative research in cross-national projects. In
research on teaching and learning in primary schools, accessing the
views and experiences of children is crucial. Consequently, the
possibilities and limitations of data collection techniques for
collecting the views of children are central and concerns about
validity and ethics posed by the power relationships between
researchers and research participants are examined. This book was
based on a special issue of Educational 3-13 International Journal
of Primary, Elementary and Early Years Education.
