Qualitative Researching

by Jennifer Mason

The Second Edition of this bestselling text offers students and first-time researchers invaluable guidance to the practice of qualitative social research. Throughout the author addresses the key issues which need to be identified and resolved in the qualitative research process, and through which researchers develop essential skills in qualitative research. The book highlights the`difficult questions′ that researchers should get into the habit of asking themselves in the course of doing qualitative research, and outlines the implications of the different ways of responding to these questions. Qualitative Researching bridges the gap between `cook-book′ approaches to qualitative research and abstract methodological approaches. Helping the reader to move comfortably between principle and practice, this text has proved to be an invaluable introduction to qualitative research, and a useful aid to accomplished qualitative research practice across the social sciences.

[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]

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.
