Qualitative Research Design: An Interactive Approach by Joseph A. Maxwell (Engli

Description: Qualitative Research Design by Joseph A. Maxwell The Third Edition presents an approach to qualitative research design that both captures what researchers really do and provides step-by-step support and guidance for those embarking for the first time on designing a qualitative study. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book gives researchers and students a user-friendly, step-by-step guide to planning qualitative research. Based on a course that the author taught for 7 years at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, it is written in an informal, jargon-free style and incorporates many examples and hands-on exercises. Rather than the rigid, linear approach to design that is usually found in research methods textbooks--and which is particularly ill suited for qualitative research--this book presents a flexible, systemic model of design. This model not only better fits what experienced qualitative researchers actually do, but provides a clear framework for designing a study and developing a research proposal. This edition includes new or substantially expanded discussions of research paradigms, defining a research problem, site and participant selection, relationships with research participants, data analysis, and validity, as well as more examples and exercises. Author Biography Joseph A.

A Proposal for a Study of Online Learning by Teachers Review "This book uses everyday language that will captivate students attention and embed practical knowledge to supplement the technical." -- Gaetane Jean-Marie"The key strengths of the text are the passion and the enthusiasm that Dr. Maxwell has for qualitative research after all these years. I feel I can also utilize these concepts on my own research team and take them out of the classroom and into research team meetings with colleagues." -- Deborah Gioia"I really liked this book. I found myself taking notes and saying "yes" so many times because Maxwell captures the research process so well and provides many points worth quoting. As a faculty mentor, I particularly see the value of this book for my students who are conducting qualitative dissertations." -- Mary S. Enright"Maxwell provides a clear explanation regarding the nuances involved in the circular process of qualitative research design." -- Tracy M. Lara Review Quote This book uses everyday language that will captivate students attention and embed practical knowledge to supplement the technical. Details ISBN1412981190 Author Joseph A.
