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

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE 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. Maxwell is a Professor (Emeritus) in the College of Education and Human Development at George Mason University, where he taught courses on qualitative and mixed methods research.

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.
