Ethics are often included in research texts but rarely is there a focus on this essential part of any programme where evaluating or carrying out research is a key component. Good to see that this has been addressed here
'Resplendent with concrete examples and insightful guidance, Ethics and Education Research is an invaluable resource for all researchers working educational contexts.’
An excellent text on the subject recommended to students
This is a very useful book, for those researching education, at all levels. For beginners, it provides an insightful synopsis of the rationale of ethics in research methodology. For the more experienced researcher the book is useful for research design, and understanding relationships of power involved in the ethics of research.
Ethical issues are an increasingly complex aspect of undertaking research. Similarly reading research studies requires a detailed insight into the complexity of ethical considerations.This book provides valuable advice and insight into this topic for students undertaking a range of research studies or analyzing research.
Very useful for my PDAP course.Useful guide in application for Education.
Ethics in education research is often contentious, particularly as there are power dynamics that need to be carefully navigated. This text presents a very clear overview of unique ethical considerations within the field of education. Helpfully, the text considers the roles that ethics can play within the structure of research design, particularly with consideration to research questions and methods. There are a number of helpful examples to support critical thinking for students who are newly embarking on research projects.
This is an excellent and comprehensive look at educational research ethics. A well-worth buy as recommended background reading.
This book reminds researchers that ethical considerations do not end with obtaining consent but affect the whole research process. It is a practical source on how to ensure an ethical research process.
Rachel Brooks writes an informative and helpful text on the important considerations of ethics when undertaking research. She provides discussion and examples that are helpful to students who are new to research as well as those who are furthering their studies.
Extremely useful in allowing students to engage with the theoretical and practical aspects of ethics in education research.
Interesting, thought provoking and much needed book. Would have loved even more extensive sections on chapters 4-8 on the 'doing' of ethical research. The chapter on the ethics of dissemination makes a very valuable contribution to an oft neglected aspect of research ethics. Would have welcomed more on the ethics of literature reviews.
Case study examples of research scenarios are used effectively at the beginning of each chapter to illustrate how ethical issues and challenges can be addressed. Stylistically engaging and accessible, the book demonstrates the relevance of ethical considerations at every stage of the research process.
just what we have been waiting for, all we need in one place
An essential text to update assumptions and understanding around ethics in educational research
This is a highly informative text, which explains the historical/ legal background of the ever more complex ethical guidelines researchers are having to abide by. While I cannot see many undergraduates reading this text from cover to cover, I'm sure they'll find specific sections/ chapter useful. It is, however, an invaluable text for research postgraduates and academics, who will certainly be putting it on Research Methods reading lists. Highly recommended!
Particularly useful resource for looking critically at ethical research.
really useful text for doc students. has helped contextualise and provide framework for ethical considerations
The authors focus on ethics in the entire research process. The book does not only pay attention to the people who participate in scientific research, the 'subjects'. Other ethical issues such as relevance of the research question, competence of the researchers, and also handling data, are discussed in detail. At the same time the authors have managed to give a clear structure to the book, from which specific topics can be easily retrieved.
