Description / Table of Contents:
This book focuses on ways in which small scale research studies arising from issues of practice, such as those undertaken by post-graduate researchers and doctoral students, are conceptualised, theorised and implemented using different methodological approaches and research frameworks. The three editors have worked with a number of doctoral students in their home countries (UK, Sweden and Germany) from which case studies will tell real stories of projects and challenges that researchers face when making the transition from educational practitioner to researcher.
