The research project is a major component of most higher education sport courses. While undertaking a research project can be an exciting and rewarding experience, it can all too easily lead to stress and disappointment. Mistakes made early in the process – in the design of experiments, for example – can lead to frustration later on. This accessible book guides students through the process, from the initial stages of research (identifying problems and designing questions) right through to the presentation of their findings.
The practical applied nature of the book makes if useful for the sports coaches, but it is too ′sport′ specific to make it applicable to the Physical Education students, whose research follows a slightly different pathway. -- Alan Thomson * drupal *
Like the dedication of a text entirely to Sports Studies Students that covers both qualitative and quantitative methods in one. There is a logical structure to the book and adequate level of detail provided to guide students on during their indepent study. -- Dr Denise Roche * drupal *
An excellent guide book, stuffed with practical examples. I shall be recommending it to all of the students I supervise. -- Dr James Cherrington * drupal *
Did not find the book was thorough or detailed enough for our research methods module -- Dr Mathew Dowling * drupal *
This is an excellent text that is useful for the undergraduate when designing their research project. The information is clearly displayed and provides the student with the key information rather than being bombarded with too much detail. -- Dr Peter Thain * drupal *
Contains beneficial information that supports the HE learner in structuring research based pieces of assessed work -- Mr Dan Burns * drupal *
An ideal core text for foundations degree students to progress their understanding of the process of research. -- Mr Jamie Sims * drupal *
The text is written in a clear and concise manner that gives the reader a clear overview of the research process. This includes a useful section on making an ethics application. On the otherhand to get information about appropriate research methods another text would need to be used. -- Mr Mark McKenna * drupal *
