ISBN: 9781118745236.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal world research is a common responsibility of professionals and practitioners in a wide range of both public and private settings. These include teachers, social workers and health service professionals, managers and specialists in business, architects, designers, criminologists and accountants among many others.\n\nReal World Research provides a clear route-map of the various steps needed to carry out a piece of applied research to a high professional standard. It is accessible to those without a social science background while providing rigorous and fully up-to-date coverage of contemporary issues and debates. It brings together materials and approaches from different social science disciplines, seeing value in both quantitative and qualitative approaches, as well as their combination in mixed-method designs.\n\nColin Robsons bestselling textbook is essential reading for many higher education courses, at both undergraduate, taught postgraduate and doctoral level, as well as practitioners and others carrying out research as part of their job. A very extensive website, which is closely keyed in to the text, provides additional resources including copious examples of research and further discussion of research issues, links to other useful resources and selected journal articles, annotated lists of further reading and an extensive set of PowerPoint slides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45253697765429,"sku":"ByrdShop_111874523X","price":49.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781118745236_9bfb93c6-3392-4340-82b0-7f38f4dd75bb.jpg?v=1779946212","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/real-world-research-9781118745236","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
