An Introduction to Qualitative Research: Learning in the Field de Gretchen B Rossman

An Introduction to Qualitative Research: Learning in the Field

Autor Gretchen B Rossman, Sharon F Rallis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 iun 2016
This popular text is a true introduction to qualitative research. Woven into the chapters are three themes that are the heart of thIS book: First, research is about learning; second, research can and should be useful; and finally, a researcher should practice the highest ethical standards to ensure that a study is trustworthy. There is a comprehensive discussion of ethics and ethical research practice, as well as an elaborate discussion of systematic inquiry—both leading to the central consideration of trustworthiness in research.

Recenzii

“This book has all the resources you need to complete your own research and become a more skilled lifelong learner.”
Rossman and Rallis build on their experience as researchers, teachers, and authors to update and improve what I think is simply the best available text for an introductory course on qualitative research methods.
