An Introduction to Qualitative Research: Learning in the Field

This book leads the new researcher into the field by explaining the core concepts through theory, research and applied examples. This Fourth Edition now provides boxes that include real-world examples; new content on using social media, blogs, and doing research online; and more international examples. "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. The updated Fourth Edition of Rossman and Rallis’s popular introductory text leads the new researcher into the field by explaining the core concepts through theory, research, and applied examples. Woven into the chapters are three themes that are the heart of the 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. The Fourth Edition includes an elaborate discussion of systematic inquiry as well as a nuanced discussion of developing a conceptual framework.
