Using Research Instruments (Routledge Study Guides)

Clear, accessible and practical, this guide introduces the first-time researcher to the various instruments used in social research. It assesses a broad range of research instruments - from the well-established to the innovative - enabling readers to decide which are particularly well suited to their research.
The book covers:

questionnaires interviews content analysis focus groups observation researching the things people say and do.

This book is particularly suitable for work-based and undergraduate researchers in education, social policy and social work, nursing and business administration. It draws numerous examples from actual research projects, which readers can adapt for their own purposes. Written in a fresh and jargon-free style, the book assumes no prior knowledge and is firmly rooted in the authors' own extensive research experience.
Using Research Instruments is the ideal companion volume to The Researcher's Toolkit. Together they offer a superb practical introduction to conducting a social research project.

An excellent book for mature, back to shool postgraduate student

This book is a godsend for those who have little or no prior academic research experience. The book bypassed all the philosophical and theoretical references that are so common with all the "how to" books out there. The last thing I would like to do is sieving through hundreds of pages just to get a few lines that are relevant to my quest. Mr. Wilkinson's book helped me tremendously on my first two research proposals. Perhaps Mr. Wilkinson would consider writing a book titled "Using Statistical Instruments: A Toolkit for Researchers". I definitely can use one. Hsinchu, Taiwan, 2009
