Research

ing research is about making decisions to transform an idea into a plan that can provide answers to a research problem or question. Thinking about, and then making these decisions results in the research the plan that will be followed to conduct the research and answer the question. This text engages in a dialogue with the reader, providing a serious but accessible introduction to research , for use as a guide when ing your own research or when reading the research of others. Julianne Cheek and Elise Øby show that ing research is an iterative and reflexive process in which there is constant thinking through, and re-visiting of, decisions about that as it develops. They use a variety of pedagogical devices throughout the book including Tip; Activity; and Putting it into Practice boxes to emphasize specific points and encourage readers to think about the practical implications of what they have learned.
