An outstanding list of contributors discuss many of the significant issues related to research in early childhood education. The authors begin by describing particular research methodologies, including historical research, research using standardized tests, qualitative research, observational research, ethology, longitudinal research, teacher research, and meta-analysis. As appropriate for each research method, the authors provide examples, discuss advantages and limitations, deal with controversial ethical issues, recommend best practice, and speculate about its future role in education. This authoritative volume will help individuals improve the quality of their research and its application to the field of early childhood education.
