‘The Handbook of Teaching and Learning Social Research Methods is a path-breaking contribution toward closing the pedagogical culture gap in social research methods education. This gap will widen over time as the teaching and learning of methods shift from the classroom to various online digital environments that include learning and teaching emergent methods and new technologies. The Handbook Editor, Melanie Nind, strongly advocates “putting pedagogic models to work in research methods education.” She follows through with this goal brilliantly by curating a stellar array of Handbook chapters that together provide a vibrant pedagogical culture for research methods education. Handbook contributors are expert researchers and methods teachers that share their pedagogical strategies for addressing this gap. Many chapters cover different pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning online, offline, and in the field. The Handbook primarily focuses on a range of qualitative methods and analysis, with some chapters focusing on quantitative and mixed methods research. Handbook contributors provide teaching strategies and resources to address the diversity of students’ learning needs. The Handbook introduces a range of emergent teaching strategies and devices for engaging students in the learning process through applying storytelling, experiential, inclusive, and de-colonizing teaching approaches. Melanie Nind reminds the reader that teaching research methods “. . . should not be the low point of the week for teachers and learners.” Melanie Nind's Handbook builds a vibrant pedagogical culture that provides a "way forward" toward closing the pedagogical gap in teaching and learning social research.’
