摘要：This second edition of this well established book in the SAGE Handbook series has some lofty ambitions: To encourage and inspire educational researchers to pursue meaningful enquiry, this handbook is intended to stimulate and encourage educational researchers to place the pursuit of ideas at the epicentre of their research – from framing meaningful problems to identifying and addressing key challenges to the reporting and dissemination of their findings. The Handbook is divided into three parts. The first of these explores the purposes of educational research from professional enquiry to informing and challenging policy-making and how to frame meaningful problems and associated research strategies. The second examines the design and conduct of research and the communication of results. The final part presents some reflections of scholars on critical incidents in aspects of research enquiry.
