Qualitative Researching

by Jennifer Mason

The new Third Edition of this best-selling text guides students and researchers through the process of doing qualitative research, clearly explaining how different theoretical approaches inform what you do in practice. The text bridges the gap between "cookbook" and more abstract approaches to qualitative research, by posing "difficult questions" that researchers should be asking themselves. The book invites researchers to engage in a creative and critical practice in how they draw insights, interpret a range of types of data, and craft knowledge from qualitative research.

A theoretically engaged, grounded approach to qualitative researching, this remains the ideal text to guide students to become thoughtful, creative and effective qualitative researchers.

[Stella · Rating 4 out of 5]

Δύσκολο βιβλίο, αλλά πράγματι είναι πολύ βοηθητικό, για όσους δεν έχουν ιδέα από ποιοτική έρευνα και της μεθόδους της. Για έναν αρχάριο ερευνητικό, όπως εγώ, προτείνεται ανεπιφύλακτα.

Προσφέρει όμως πραγματική στήριξη!

It's alright, pretty pleasant, but extremely basic. So it's very much for introduction level read.

[Dianna Bradley]

So helpful! Really accessible writing and tone.

This book has a brief description of qualitative methods, which is useful for those students who are interesting in research methods. I mainly focused on personal interviewing and focus group as two of most important methods that could be used as followed up research (after using questionnaire) in the first stage.
