<ul>
<li> Are you worried about doing your classroom-based research project? </li>
<li> Do you feel daunted at the prospect of carrying out a literature review? </li>
<li> Does the thought of collecting and analyzing data make you panic?</li>
</ul> If you answer 'yes' to any of these questions, then this is the book for you! Written in an informal style, this is the essential, practical and accessible step-by-step guide for all teacher-training students, who in addition to facing the enormous challenge of training to become a teacher, also have to conduct their own classroom-based research. 
 It contains three sections that mirror the process of doing classroom research. From getting started and choosing appropriate research strategies, to making your findings public, the book covers the whole range of issues to help you succeed with what can seem like a daunting task.
 Each of the chapters offers gentle guidance and support at every stage of the research process. Topics covered include:
<ul>
<li> The purpose of school-based research </li>
<li> Guidance on how to carry out a literature review </li>
<li> Research ethics </li>
<li> The impacts of research on children's and students' learning </li>
<li> Methods of data collection and analysis </li>
<li> Ways of sharing research with a wider audience </li>
<li> Opportunities for continued professional development</li>
</ul> Doing Classroom Research is a must for every teacher-training student.

Mathematics in Early Years Education

This third edition of the best-selling Mathematics in Nursery Education provides an accessible introduction to the teaching of mathematics in the early years. Covering all areas of mathematics learning – number and counting, calculation, pattern, shape, measures and data handling – it summarises the research findings and underlying key concepts and explains how adults can help children to learn through practical experiences, discussion and more direct intervention.  This new edition has been fully updated to incorporate the latest research and thinking in this area and includes:    why mathematics is important as a way of making sense of the world   how attitudes to mathematics can influence teaching and learning   how children learn mathematics   new material on sorting, matching and handling data    ideas for observation and questioning to assess children’s understanding   examples of planned activities   suggestions for language development   assessment criteria.   This textbook is ideal for those training to be teachers through an undergraduate or PGCE route, those training for Early Years Professional Status and those studying early childhood on foundation or honours degrees as well as parents looking to explore how their young children learn mathematics. This will be an essential text for any Early Years practitioner looking to make mathematics interesting, exciting and engaging in their classroom.
