Ethics in education research is often contentious, particularly as there are power dynamics that need to be carefully navigated. This text presents a very clear overview of unique ethical considerations within the field of education. Helpfully, the text considers the roles that ethics can play within the structure of research design, particularly with consideration to research questions and methods. There are a number of helpful examples to support critical thinking for students who are newly embarking on research projects.
This is a well written text focusing on ethics and educational research. It encourages readers to think critically in relation to the implications of ethics in educational research. It is a particularly useful text in the context of contemporary research, as it considers some issues relating to online research, which generally is absent from similar books.
It is really good to finally have a text that is devoted to the use of ethics in educational research. This will be useful for both university-based researchers and for school-based researchers. With the growth of teachers carrying out research in schools e.g. via 'researchEd' there is a need for a guide such as this.
This book provides a great overview of the ethical dilemmas that are often faced by students new to research. A great asset to any research student's book shelf.
