Challenges Facing Research into Catholic Schools -

. .

Résumé :

This book provides practical and theoretical guidance on how to conduct educational research into aspects of Catholic education or in Catholic schools, and opens up ways of completing education research in a Catholic setting. This book is divided into four sections. The first seeks to orientate researchers in Catholic education within the range of contexts, issues and challenges that are needed to navigate this field of studies. These range from shifts in catholic theology (of education) to the socio-political contexts within which Catholic education takes place. The second section presents a range of ways in which Catholic education could be researched, by drawing on nine researchers who have completed their doctoral studies within the past decade. The third section presents insights from those who have supervised doctoral studies in Catholic Education over the past two decades. Overall, this book supports and guides researchers who have no experience of Catholic Christianity, and also those who are Catholic, but yet remain uncertain about how best to navigate their research in a Catholic setting....
