The author's main intent is to encourage you to consider the social network perspective in light of your emerging research interests and evaluate how well this perspectice illuminates the social complecities surrounding educational phenomena. Unlike other approaches, this perspective accounts for the importance of relationships within formal structures, and the informal patterns of interaction that emerge, sustain, or recede. Relying on diverse examples drawn from the educational research literature, this book makes explicit how the theories and methods associated with social network analysis can be used to better describe and explain the social complexities surrounding varied educational phenomena.
