Multidisciplinary approaches to educational research

This book provides an original perspective on a range of controversial issuesin educational and social research through case studies of multi-disciplinaryand mixed-method research involving children, teachers, schools and communities in Europe and the developing world. These case studies from researchers 'across continents' and 'across disciplines' explore a range of interesting issues, including the relevance of research approaches to very different national settings, and to the kinds of questions being asked; the barriers of language and culture between researcher and researched; articulating the thinking and feelings of very young children; the challenges of dealing with 'partiality' of data, issues of identity, subjectivity and reflexivity; and transferring research approaches from one national setting to the problems posed in another.
