What does the term ‘research’ in early childhood actually mean? What does research involve, and how do you go about doing it?
This book explains exactly what ‘research’ is; it explores key ideas, themes and terminology to provide you with a clear understanding of its importance to your early years or early childhood studies degree.
It will help you:

· Get to know how research is designed and carried out
· Appreciate the importance of ethics

Laying the foundations to develop your confidence in talking about research and making links between theory and practice, this book will support you as you begin your research journey into the world of early years.
