The authors of "Research as Social Change" argue in clear and
accessible language that teaching, learning and research are
essentially social and deeply personal activities. This is not a
conventional text, for although it is about ways in which research
can be used by those in various areas of professional practice, it
does not simply catalog or describe conventional research methods.
The book's main concerns are qualitative research, research in
action (rather than in abstraction) and case study methods. Rob
Walker and Michael Schratz give examples of research that are
concerned with the nature of personal memories and discuss what is
worth doing in reviewing research literature. Other topics covered
include the social nature of perception, the uses that research can
make of drawings and photographs, the emotional relationships
implicit in research and research in the context of the
contemporary workplace.
Walker and Schratz develop new directions and new possibilities for
research and find ways of bringing together theory and practice,
the personal and the social as well as organizations and their
clients. It is an important resource and means of support for all
who are interested in doing research but are critical of most
studies that are currently available.
In the 21st century technology has become an essential part of
teaching and learning. This manual provides practical advice on
teaching in a wide range of technologies, including the internet
and multimedia packages. Using case studies to illustrate the key
concepts, this book aims to promote student learning and
understanding, and show educators how to use technology to motivate
learners and encourage productive interaction.

Have you ever thought research is boring? "Research" writes Umberto Eco "should be fun". It seems unlikely that Umberto Eco has read many of the standard social science or education research texts. But social research does offer the possibility of involvement in projects that are informative, sometimes revealing, and fun to do. This book shows us that teaching, learning and research are essentially social and deeply personal activities and that fun needs to be an integral part of this. This is not a conventional text, although it is about ways in which research can be used by those in various areas of professional practice. Its main concerns are with qualitative research, action research and case study methods, and it goes back to first principles arguing for research that is concerned with the nature of personal memories and of perception, the use of drawings and photographs, the emotional relationships implicit in any kind of research and the context of the contemporary workplace. The authors develop new directions and new possibilities for research and find ways of bringing together theory and practice, the personal and the social, organisations and their clients. It is an important resource for all who are interested in doing research but are sceptical or critical of most studies that are currently available.
