Research In Practice - Applied Methods For The Social Sciences (Paperback, 2nd Edition)

Over the past few decades there has been a major shift in research methodology – away from technicist to more contextual and pragmatic approaches. This is reflected in a greater emphasis on interdisciplinary and applied research skills, the concurrent use of qualitive and quantitative methods, and more sophisticated understanding of the epistemological grounding research.

Research in Practice incorporates these new trends while also providing comprehensive coverage of the full range of established research approaches and techniques.
