Using Secondary Data in Educational
and Social Research

This series is aimed at research students in education and those under-
taking related professional, vocational and social research. It takes
current methodological debates seriously and offers well-informed advice
to students on how to respond to such debates. Books in the series review
and engage with current methodological issues, while relating such
issues to the sorts of decisions which research students have to make
when designing, conducting and writing up research. Thus the series
both contributes to methodological debate and has practical orientation
by providing students with advice on how to engage with such debate
and use particular methods in their work. Series authors are experienced
researcher and supervisors. Each book provides students with insights
into a different form of educational research while also providing them
with the critical tools and knowledge necessary to make informed
judgements about the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches.
