Research projects are carried out in schools and non-school settings by virtually all final-year undergraduates in the areas of teacher training, Education Studies and other educational contexts, and often in earlier years too. This text, part of the Study Skills in Education series, is written for this specific target audience, and makes clear references to these courses and contexts throughout. Hot topics such as using the net and plagiarism are covered with up-to-date information, while key content on literature searches, critical thinking and the development of argument provide clear guidance and ensure academic rigour.
