Supervision of Doctoral Students in the Natural Sciences: Expectations and experiences
Within the natural sciences and engineering, literature relating to postgraduate education, in particular the process of completing a doctorate, remains generally scarce. That which does exist emphasises the role of the supervisor in effecting successful completion and points to a wide range of activities performed by supervisors. There remains, however, little by way of accounts of the actual experiences of supervisors or students when engaged i…

Parents are welcome: Headteachers’ and matrons’ perspectives on parental participation in the early years
Parental participation has been at the centre of policy initiatives on the education of the young child since the 1960s with the compensatory programmes of Head Start in the United States and Educational Priority Areas in the United Kingdom. With these initiatives, equality and partnerships were to be achieved through parent participation. However, as Valentine and Stark [1979], commenting on experiences in the U.S.A., remark, “An exclusive empha…

The Ethics of Educational Research
Sociologists, Training and Research
This paper was originally delivered as a British Sociological Association Presidential Address at the end of the Annual Conference at the University of Surrey in April 1990. In the style of Presidential Addresses it was written as a lecture that would cover a range of issues and themes. In revising it for publication I have tried to keep much of the style of the lecture as well as the range of contemporary themes that were covered: training for '…
Something you Learn to Live With: Gender and Inequality in a Comprehensive School
This paper provides a discussion of some of the ways in which gender relations in school influence the day‐to‐day lives of women teachers. In particular, it focuses on life in the staff common‐room, staffroom humour, ‘women's’ work and women's careers using in‐depth interview data and documentary evidence that were collected while conducting a broader study of a comprehensive school

Which Way Forward for Methodology Teaching
The variety of papers presented here point to no very clear-cut conclusions nor do they suggest a single direction in which methodology teaching within sociology could develop. There is more agreement negatively, that problems exist, that students are not sufficiently engaged with methodological issues, and that traditional forms of methodology teaching are inadequate. There is increasing diversity in what is taught as 'methods', some curricular …
Objectives in Teaching and Using Research Methodology
This article examines the state and status of methodology teaching. The links between the state of the discipline, patterns of teaching, styles of assessment and the uses of methodology are explored. A series of questions are raised concerning the place of methodology in the sociology curriculum. It is suggested that these questions have to be answered by all sociologists and not just methodology teachers

Research Methodology Teaching: Trends and Developments
The teaching of research methodology in graduate and undergraduate courses is discussed with reference to British experience. Recent trends are examined, with reference to the place of methods, statistics and changes in course content. 'Alternative' methodologies, deriving from critical, autobiographical, Marxist or feminist positions, are evaluated. The importance of core methodological elements in a sociological education is suggested

Some Fieldwork Problems in Teacher‐Based Research
This article examines a way of conducting educational research which may have relevance for the classroom teacher. It is argued that the teacher might take a teacher‐as‐researcher role in schools and classrooms. This style of research requires a knowledge of several fieldwork techniques and raises several fieldwork problems. Special attention is given to questions of access, fieldwork roles and the ethics and politics of doing teacher‐based resea…
