Abstract
:
"Qualitative Research Design: An Interactive Approach, Second Edition provides researchers and students a user-friendly step-by-step guide to planning qualitative research. A bestseller in its first edition, this book presents an innovative approach to the components of design and how they interact with each other. The text presents a clear strategy for creating coherent and workable relationships among these design components and highlights key design issues. Based on a course the author taught for seven years at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the work is written in an informal, jargon-free style and incorporates many examples and hands-on exercises." "Experienced researchers will welcome author Joseph A. Maxwell's refreshing approach and clear, direct style, and professors across the social sciences will find this an invaluable text for graduate research courses."--BOOK JACKET.
