ABSTRACT
Finding answers to educational problems is a complex undertaking. Whether awareness of the problem arises as a result of classroom observation, the reading of learned journals or armchair theorising, there is always a range of perspectives that can be brought to bear on a problem. In this chapter, we explore a number of models and analytic approaches that can be applied to investigate specific issues that are part of the complex mix of person, process and context that feature in education at all levels.
