Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Clear, accessible and practical, Using Research Instruments: A

Guide for Researchers introduces the first-time researcher to the

various instruments used in social research. It assesses the relative

merits of a broad range of research instruments – from the well-

established to the innovative – enabling readers to decide which are

particularly well suited to their own research.

The book covers:

◆ Questionnaires

◆ Interviews

◆ Content analysis

◆ Focus groups

◆ Observation

◆ Researching the things people say and do

This book is particularly suitable for work-based and undergraduate

researchers in education, social policy and social work, nursing and

business administration. It draws numerous examples from actual

research projects, which readers can adapt for their own purposes.

Written in a fresh and jargon-free style, the book assumes no prior

knowledge and is firmly rooted in the authors’ own extensive

research experience.

Using Research Instruments is the ideal companion volume

to The Researcher’s Toolkit. Together they offer a superb practical

introduction to conducting a social research project.
