Hardbound. Issues in Educational Research presents an overview of the many controversial questions arising today in educational research, that depend on the nature of the problem and the extent to which research has previously been undertaken in an area. These issues are addressed by different scholars, each from their own particular orientation. They are presented in juxtaposition so that researchers, teachers, policy makers, administrators and students can examine the different views being advanced and discuss their meaning with respect to different situations. The volume is divided into three sections: an introduction to the field; diverse approaches; and finally the key issues facing educational research today, worldwide. The editors argue the case for a unified view of the field of educational research.
