Produktbeschreibung
Provides students and practitioner alike with clear and systematic guidance on performing social research in applied settings

Real World Research supplies the multidisciplinary skills necessary to conduct social research projects inside and outside of the classroom or the workplace. Offering well-balanced coverage of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, this highly practical resource incorporates approaches from different social science disciplines to help readers find answers to real-life research questions in healthcare, education, business and management, and in many other public and private settings. Detailed yet accessible chapters include step-by-step advice for developing a research question, choosing a research design strategy, collecting and analyzing the data, interpreting and reporting the results, and more.

The fifth edition contains timely coverage of contemporary methodologies, key ethical issues, and ongoing debates within the field of social research. New and expanded sections address topics such as evidence-based approaches to social research, ethical considerations when conducting research involving people, carrying out projects based solely on existing research, and the importance and implications of internet-based research. Featuring a wealth of up-to-date examples drawn from a wide range of disciplines, this classic textbook:
_ Focuses on useful real-world research in applied settings such as homes, schools, businesses, and other workplaces
_ Provides a concise overview and a well-defined example of each main step of the research process
_ Highlights the importance of collaboration, cooperation, and active participation in social research
_ Explains flexible research designs using largely qualitative methods, including additional coverage of ethnographic and grounded theory approaches
_ Includes an extensive companion website with numerous research examples, links to journal articles, PowerPointslides, and many other additional resources
