商品簡介
Bemoaning the lack of discussion of research methods in the journals and conferences of social studies, Barton (U. of Cincinnati) seeks to provide an accessible introduction to the range of issues in social studies research. He presents nine contributions reviewing historiographical approaches to social studies, advocating for the design and implementation of research that is more directly attendant to participants' perspectives, examining issues arising from conducting research as a religious outsider, looking at the use of international and comparative studies, and means of conducting accurate qualitative data collection.
