Key Ideas in Educational Research Summary

Key Ideas in Educational Research by David Scott (IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK)

This comprehensive guide consists of 120 concise but illuminative essays providing: - an explanation and definition of the term - alternative explanations and definitions of the term - the context in which it is used by educational researchers - exemplars as to how the term is used and used be used in practice - references to further literature - cross-references to other terms in the book.
