Add your own review!

Overview

This new text is the only resource out there to address the needs of todays early years students/trainees and support them through every stage of the early years research process. Research in the Early Years contains case study material in the form of four fictional students experiences, which run through the book. Readers follow these example students through their dissertation module as they address common problems, issues and pitfalls. Clear explanations and a step-by-step approach are balanced with sufficient depth and rigour to challenge those on undergraduate courses or following graduate programmes such as EYPS.
