Conducting Small-scale Investigations in Educational Management
This book is intended for individuals researching in educational management, who have no access to a computer, little or no access to funding, and who have to plan, carry out and write up their investigations in a limited time. Management is a practical activity and this book exemplifies a practical, problem-solving approach, designed to provide the basic skills which will enable practitioners to undertake research in their own institutions. Chapters have been contributed by experienced researchers, many of whom have been responsible for large-scale projects. They provide helpful guidance about how to do it, give warnings about the dangers of claiming too much for results, of overstepping the ethical limits, and of taking on too much.
