Material Detail

This collection of short research guides was created by doctoral students in Indiana University Bloomington’s School of Education. Each research guide was made by students in the on-campus and online course, EDUC-L700: Seminar in Literacy, Culture, and Language Education, offered by the Department of Literacy, Culture and Language Education. This assignment was designed to help students–who are current and future education researchers–familiarize themselves with research methodologies that they may not have had a chance to study in a formal course. This book is a compilation of research guides created by students in the Spring 2018, Fall 2018, and Spring 2019 iterations of the course, supplemented with information about why it was important to compile these guides in an openly licensed Pressbook.  In essence, this is a book written by doctoral students for doctoral students.We hope that others will use this work for their own research and exploration or even adapt it to help students learn about research methodologies firsthand.

Each Research Guide offers a short introduction to the methodology, followed by critical annotations of major works describing how to use the methodology. Other sections include critical annotations of recent dissertations that use the methodology and lists of helpful resources such as websites, databases, videos, and research software. Some sample topics include Conversation Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis, Multiple Case Studies, and Nexus Analysis. More topics may be added later.
