Synopsis

Co-authored by an international team of experts across disciplines, this important book is one of the first to demonstrate the enormous benefit creative methods offer for education research.

You do not have to be an artist to be creative, and the book encourages students, researchers and practitioners to discover and consider new ways to explore the field of education. It illustrates how using creative methods, such as poetic inquiry, comics, theatre and animation, can support learning and illuminate participation and engagement. Bridging academia and practice, the book offers:

- practical advice and tips on how to use creative methods in education research;

- numerous case studies from around the world providing real-life examples of creative research methods in education practice;

- reflective discussion questions to support learning.
