Helping readers understand their perspectives and use that understanding to inform their research approach, this Little Quick Fix will enable first time researchers to reflect upon and identify their view of truth and knowledge, as well as what those mean and how they are established. After reading they will be better placed to choose and critically evaluate appropriate research questions and make informed methodological decisions.
With activities that get readers to identify their stance and question their own and others’ assumptions about research practice, this Little Quick Fix covers questions like:
• How can you become a researcher known for integrity?
• What stand will you take towards your inquiry?
• How will you study problems as an outsider?
• How will you study problems as an insider?
• How will my research design choices communicate the kind of researcher I am?
• How can mindful self-awareness help me stay true to my intentions?
Little Quick Fix books provide quick but authoritative answers to the problems, hurdles, and assessment points students face in the research course, project proposal, or design – whatever their methods learning is.

- Checkpoints in each section make sure students are nailing it as they go and support self-directed learning.
