 Your Dissertation in Education provides a systematic, practical approach to dissertation and project writing for students in education. This is a revised edition of Nicholas Walliman2s best-selling Your Undergraduate Dissertation, specifically developed for students from a range of educational disciplines, including teacher training, early childhood and education studies. This book is unique in being the first devoted to providing a guide that is tailored to fit the specific needs of education students. The contents chart the whole dissertation-writing process, from establishing a question and thinking about research, to completing the writing, and dissemination. Throughout, the emphasis is on providing practical, down-to-earth advice that addresses common questions, such as: How do I get started? How do I write a research proposal? How do I write an introduction? How do I write a literature review? How do I argue my point effectively? How do I write a methodology chapter? How can I work effectively with my supervisor? How do I cope with stress? Practical examples, summary sections and additional references are incorporated throughout, providing the reader with a comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide to completing their dissertation successfully.
