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.
Particularly useful resource for looking critically at ethical research.
An essential text to update assumptions and understanding around ethics in educational research
Useful book for those undertaking education research, only not adopted as the students who were thinking of studying education/learning as a dissertation did not do so. As a teacher I will look at using it to help develop my own research ideas.

This is a well written text focusing on ethics and educational research. It encourages readers to think critically in relation to the implications of ethics in educational research. It is a particularly useful text in the context of contemporary research, as it considers some issues relating to online research, which generally is absent from similar books.
