Description
Balanced and authoritative, this volume brings together leading experts to present thirteen methodologies widely used in literacy research. Following a consistent format, each chapter describes the methodology at hand, identifies the types of questions and claims for which it is well suited, de-lineates clear standards for quality, and presents one or more exemplary studies using the methodology. Studies are cited in each chapter and can be easily referenced and the chapters follow similar formats, making this an easy text to use.
Guiding readers to choose wisely from available methodologies when designing their own research endeavors, and to understand the contributions that each mode of inquiry can generate - this is an essential text for graduate students in literacy. It is also an ideal resource for more experienced researchers seeking to build their skills for utilizing or evaluating particular approaches.
