This comprehensive text takes a practical approach that mirrors the path that students follow in conducting a research project. The book is based on the authors' highly successful multidisciplinary qualitative methods workshops, which have been conducted for over a decade. They introduce a 'qualitative research cycle' that leads students through the selection of appropriate methods, the collection of data, and the transformation of findings into a finished project. The book provides a clear explanation of the nature of qualitative research and its key concepts.
it is practical, up to date and easy to read
It makes complex material more accessible to students and exposes them to new research ideas.
I find this an excellent book for students who are starting with qualitative research methods. I use the research model as proposed in this book in my courses, and recommend this book as essential reading when preparing a research.
Good back up the the general text for those wishing to adopt Qualitative methods
Deans viewed as acceptable for course teaching
a very clear and understandable book, i believe that more than half the group purchased this book
Great Book. Not got the geographical angle. i.e. doesn't draw on existing geographical concepts and ideas. This is why can't be an Essential textbook for Geography students.
too general, need something more specific for Counselling
An excellent, well-organised and concise text. Highly recommended as an essential text for both under-graduate and post-graduate students who are interested in qualitative research.
Have recommended this to both degree students and masters students as I feel both groups will benefit from this book. I have also benefited from this book in terms of my preparation for teaching sessions.
