Great ideas, but poor execution.......2004-05-01
However, there are some problems. First, and most glaringly, is the poor editing and production of the text. Entire paragraphs are repeated (e.g., pg 41 & 42), and many typos are made (e.g., pg 35). Secondly, Lawson utilizes some technical jargon without any real definitions or examples, making some of the material difficult for educators to understand. This is especially unfortunate since this may make the book unreadable, hence unusable, by educators. It wouldn't take much more work to dramatically improve the clarity of the presentation - even a simple glossary would be invaluable. I sincerely hope these issues will be addressed by future editions.
Finally, there is the issue of price. This is a VERY expensive book (about 40 cents per page!). So is it worth it? Ultimately, this depends on what you want out of the book. Personally, I don't think it is really worth the price since much of the info in the book can be found in Lawson's papers and other publications. It is nice to have such an array of information conveniently bound into a single volume, but I don't think this nicety is worth so much money - especially when the errors and problems mentioned above mitigate any value the book may have. On the other hand, the ideas in the book are generally well-presented and compelling, so this text can certainly be quite beneficial to educators.

The Students' Guide to Research Ethics
Paul Oliver Manufacturer: Open University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0335210872 |
Book Description
"This compact book is intended as a practical guide for students involved in research, and it fulfils that goal well. ...The chapter on 'The funding and sponsorship of research' is an excellent example of the author's willingness and ability to include relevant, sensitive and practical content that is often left out of texts on ethics. ...This is an easy book to read, it is concise and keeps to relevant content. ...It would make an excellent text for a course in research ethics and/or research methods, and it will also provide an excellent planning and self-review guide for a practising researcher." Higher Education Review"The book is aimed primarily at higher education students in education and the social sciences who are conducting a (typically small scale) research project. That is not to say that the publication is of little value to the supervisors of such projects or to experienced researchers as a resource. ...the successful integration of a wide range of theoretical perspectives on ethics in the text is... one of the main accomplishments of this publication" RTI Resource Centre
This essential guide examines the ethical issues and questions which occur in university and professional research. The book helps both beginning and experienced researchers to identify ethical issues when they are conducting research, and attempt to resolve those issues.
* Examines ethical issues which arise throughout research, from the design stage through to data collection and analysis
* Investigates topical issues including consent, confidentiality, ethical questions in the dissemination of research
* Discusses ethical theories and how these may be applied towards resolving ethical problems
* Provides examples of ethical dilemmas and case studies throughout the text
Insightful, wide-ranging and accessible, this guide is an invaluable tool for both undergraduate and postgraduate students and professionals who research as part of their jobs.
