Description
This book will help readers keep in mind the practice of qualitative research–whether they wish to do it, teach it, or just learn about it. All of the major research phases are encompassed (startup, design, data collection, analysis, and composing), including newly emerging trends. A lot of easy-to-read vignettes show how other scholars have successfully implemented specific procedures. Equally distinctive, the book presents qualitative research as an adaptive craft. The array of choices among different procedures and methods enables readers to customize their own studies and to accommodate different worldviews and genres.
New to This Edition:
*Stronger discussion of different worldviews (e.g., constructivism, postpositivism, and pragmatism) and how they relate to different methodological choices.

*Expanded discussions of different kinds of qualitative study samples and of mixed methods.
*New ideas on how to steer clear of getting stalled when analyzing qualitative data.
*Consideration of an additional way of concluding a qualitative study: by taking action.
Pedagogical Features

*Key terms and concepts appear in boldface all over the text and are listed in end-of-chapter recaps in addition to in the book’s glossary.
