Description
Social Research Methods, Fourth Edition, is designed for students at the beginning of their journey in social research. The text guides students through all the steps of the research process, from formulating a question to writing up their report. Written by a team of active research practitioners, the text encourages students to develop a set of practical research skills in line with contemporary Australian and New Zealand social research practices. Using both theory and practical examples to illustrate the relevance of research methods in their future careers, Social Research Methods equips students with the tools required to develop a clear understanding of the nature of research and to gain an appreciation of the wide range of methods available. Australian and New Zealand-specific case studies are used liberally throughout the text to provide direct examples of how the methods are employed within the social sciences. Social Research Methods aims to inspire students to continue their engagement with social research by presenting the requisite introductory skills within a framework of exciting, up-to-date, relevant research.
