Scientific monographs pertain - ing to the discipline of pedagogical methodology are not scarce. However, they tend to be fixated upon only one paradigm, focusing on a narrow range of approaches, addressing selected chapters and meticulously delimiting individual research. Only rarely do they extend their reach across the spec - trum. Vogrinc and Saqipi’s work does not adhere to this logic of exhaustively tackling one or a few particular and distinct subject areas, as they admit in the introduction, stating that the book “is a mixture of summarising existing knowledge and providing critical views on issues that need closer attention” (Vogrinc & Saqipi, 2019, p. 8). The result of their decision is a 112-page publication that discusses theoretical, quantita - tive and qualitative research, further elaborates what constitutes a case study and action research, and then concludes with a description of ethical standards in education research and research literacy in teacher education. Degrees of intensive specificity are seldom encountered throughout the book, yet we dare claim this was not the authors’ objective. Their intention was rather to provide a comprehensive overview of what pedagogical methodology incorporates un - der various types of research and to offer referential material for subsequent explorations.
