NAVIGATING THE EDUCATION RESEARCH MAZE Contextual, Conceptual, Methodological and Transformational Challenges and Opportunities for Researchers

Palgrave Studies in Education Research Methods Series Editors Patrick Alan Danaher University of Southern Queensland Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia Fred Dervin Department of Teacher Education The University of Helsinki Helsinki, Finland Caroline Dyer School of Politics and International Studies University of Leeds Leeds, United Kingdom Mairin Kenny Wexford, Ireland Bobby Harreveld School of Education & the Arts Central Queensland University Rockhampton, Australia Michael Singh Centre for Educational Research Western Sydney University Penrith, New South Wales, Australia

This series explores contemporary manifestations of the fundamental paradox that lies at the heart of education: that education contributes to the creation of economic and social divisions and the perpetuation of sociocultural marginalisation, while also providing opportunities for individual empowerment and social transformation. In exploring this paradox, the series investigates potential alternatives to current educational provision and speculates on more enabling and inclusive educational futures for individuals, communities, nations and the planet. Specific developments and innovation in teaching and learning, educational policy-making and education research are analysed against the backdrop of these broader developments and issues.
