A practical, comprehensive guide to the collection and presentation of qualitative data. Unique in the market, this book describes the entire research process -- from design through writing -- illustrated by examples of real, complete qualitative work that clearly demonstrates how methods are used in actual practice.

A team of fifteen top researchers from various disciplines and nationalities offer ethical strategies unique to qualitative researchers for those "big ethical moments" beyond what can be predicted by ethics committees.

Critical approaches to qualitative research have made a significant impact on research practice over the past decade. Contemporary, original articles place this trend in its historical context, and describes the current landscape of critical work. The book-includes contributions from leading qualitative researchers.

This is a book about research design for projects that collect both qualitative and quantitative data, so that their combined strengths will accomplish more than would have been possible with any one method. The approach presented here is broadly interdisciplinary and emphasizes practical research designs.

This volume uses a conversational writing style that draws readers into the excitement of the research process. Lichtman covers the full range of qualitative methodologies and viewpoints about the field, including coverage of social media as a tool to facilitate research or as a venue for study. After presenting theoretical concepts and a historical overview, Lichtman guides readers, step by step, through the research process.

This handbook provides a state-of-the art overview of the whole field of QDA; from general analytic strategies used in qualitative research, to approaches specific to particular types of qualitative data, including talk, text, sounds, images and virtual data. The handbook includes chapters on traditional analytic strategies such as grounded theory, content analysis, hermeneutics, phenomenology and narrative analysis, as well as coverage of newer trends like mixed methods, reanalysis and meta-analysis. Practical aspects such as sampling, transcription, working collaboratively, writing and implementation are given close attention.

This volume shows how the research process in its entirety can be supported by technology tools in ways that can save time and add robustness and depth to qualitative work.

This textbook provides a hands-on introduction to the qualitative method and its theoretical underpinnings. It offers step-by-step instructions for implementing the three principal types of qualitative content analysis: thematic, evaluative, and type-building analysis. This book shows in detail how to use software, from transcribing the verbal data to presenting and visualizing the results.

An essential resource for students and scholars dedicated to the study of teaching and learning, this handbook summarizes the state of the field while providing conceptual overviews of critical topics related to research on teaching. Each of the volume's 23 chapters is a canonical piece that will serve as a reference tool for the field.
