For both new academics and those with some experience, writing
articles of publishable quality can be particularly challenging.
Developing the necessary skill set requires useful information,
hard work, and the type of direction infrequently offered in
research methods courses, leaving researchers to piece together
resources on their own. This book addresses this critical topic in
a format that is easy to teach and understand. It is a practical
volume that teaches researchers how to identify their audience,
clearly state the nature of their work, provide exceptional
literature reviews, cite appropriately, and explicate their
research. Beginning each chapter with reviewer comments, Writing
Education Research is designed to help scholars understand both how
to write effective research reports and how to get published.
Practice exercises and resource lists in each chapter offer
easy-to-access information about the review and publication
process. A perfect accompaniment to standard research courses, this
practical book demystifies the writing process for anyone looking
to publish articles, chapters, or papers in education.

need to understand existing education research literature and to
produce theoretically-grounded work of their own. Each chapter
begins with perspectives from both novice and experienced
researchers, whose guiding questions assist researchers engaging
with theory for the first time and those looking to improve their
understanding of the fundamentals. Practice exercises, examples,
and suggested reading lists at the end of each chapter offer
students resources they can apply to their own research and
thinking in concrete ways. A perfect accompaniment to standard
research courses, this book is designed to help students achieve a
deeper understanding of what is expected of them and ideas about
how to achieve it.
