Product Description

Review

This is an excellent resource for all those undertaking research in the field of Early Childhood Education and Care. It will be particularly valuable for students on Early Childhood Studies Degree Courses! Guy Roberts-Holmes has succeeded in writing a book which, in addition to offering valuable practical advice, is rigorous, supportive and encouraging to all those undertaking research with young children and their families. --Lesley Abbott, Professor of Early Childhood Education, Centre for Multi-Professional Research in the Early Years, Manchester Metropolitan University

The book is written with a keen sensitivity to the needs of the novice researcher in ECEC, managing to demystify the concept of research without degrading it. Reading the excellent guidance on formulating a research question brought back for me the excitement of discovering that a simple, pared down question can yield big and complex answers. Magic! Case-study material from the work of students lends transparency to the discussion and makes real the research experience --British Association for Early Childhood Education

I found the case studies and activities extremely valuable as they acted as prompts and helped me to focus on particular stages of my study. The author understands the complexities that face research students, and highlights the important issues of methodology and ethics surrounding a childhood study. It's definitely a must for anyone undertaking research of the kind. --Nursery World


Review

`This book provides an excellent foundation for anyone about to begin a small-scale research project for a diploma or first degree, not only in early years education, but in any educational phase. As its subtitle suggests, it is a step-by-step guide but it goes beyond this in the issues it tackles in several chapters, as well as being a valuable source of information including a glossary of research terminology, and an annotated list of early years journals. It has several strengths, in particular the 'personal research stories' which show the reader how several of the author's students tackled each stage of the research process. A second strength is the use of numerous thought provoking and pertinent activities throughout each chapter which encourage 'interaction' with the text. Guy Roberts-Holmes' accessible book should be on every reading list for people doing their undergraduate dissertations, or about to begin action research or small-scale research projects with children' - Early Years

`Doing Your Early Years Research Project is an ideal resource to help you through from start to finish. It will help students doing Early Childhood Studies Degree, Teacher Education, Nursing, Social Sciences and a range or CACHE awards' - Nursery Education

4.0 out of 5 stars looking at reasearch projects, 21 May 2009
doing your Early Years researh project by Guy Robert Dolmes, is a clear and concise book on how to, what to include and the formula for doing so. it gives added guidance, in simple stages gives the reader opportunity to check whether they have completed each stage, and are on their way to finishing what is for some students, a daunting task in their third year of studies.
