Meanings and Motivation in Education Research explores the complexities of investigating the meaning of research and the motivation of researchers working in the education sector. There is a strong focus on providing an overview of the type of research being engaged in, the personal motivation and approach of the researchers in education research, how meaning is shared for the benefit of the education sector, and more broadly, the importance of context in strategically aligning institutional goals with research interests in the education context.
