Description
There are certain things that every Education student finds challenging when writing their dissertation – and this book will help you to fix them before your supervisor ever sees it.
Not sure how to get your APA referencing just right? Worried about the differences between writing and academic writing? Stuck on structure? Then this is the book for you. With short, focused chapters, it puts all the information you need in one place. In Part One, we think about the why and how of academic writing in the field of Education: how to write about curriculum and policy; how to describe quantitative and qualitative studies; ways in which your dissertation can convince a reader of the need to study a particular phenomenon. Then in Parts Two and Three we focus on the mechanics of good academic writing, and on getting things 'right'. What distinguishes a novice from an expert writer, and how can you develop your writing with this in mind?
Finally, we have invited other expert academic writers, Education graduates and even students, to share their tips for success. To help you develop your own academic writing independently, this book includes a range of features – every chapter uses activities, tips and detailed examples to show you the things we are talking about in action. In and out of class, you will be able to use this book to perfect your dissertations, essays and assignments.
