Practical Research for Education Issue 42
23 December 2009
Practical Research for Education was a journal originally published twice a year and included the following regular features: Profile interviews with well-known researchers and theorists, Tool-kit articles that equip people to do their own research and Letter from the chalk-face, which offered readers the opportunity to write about their own experiences of doing or using research.
Issue 42's profile interview is with Andrew Morris and the tool-kit article offers advice on using focus groups as a useful way of capturing information.
