Description - Researching Widening Access to Lifelong Learning by Beth Crossan
Governments around the world have committed themselves to increasing participation in access to further and higher education. In order to formulate and implement policies and interventions to this end, education policy-makers and managers need access to reliable, wide-ranging and cutting-edge research derived from a range of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, and conducted in a variety of contexts. Researching Widening Access in Further and Higher Education is a comprehensive exploration of how such research can most effectively be conducted, the different forms it can take and its significance and value for education policy. The book is divided into two sections. The first looks at specific research studies from around the world that reflect the diversity of contexts in which widening access is researched. The second part discusses the range of research methodologies and paradigms available to the researcher of widening access. An introduction and conclusion by the editors draw out the key themes, issues and implications emerging from global research into widening access.
This is an essential research companion for students, academics, and policy-makers investigating the global phenomenon of widening access to education.
