Now retired (sociology, U. of London) Silverman once more revises his introduction to qualitative research, previously published in 2000, 2005, and 2009 with many reprintings between. Primarily he responds to surveys of users, both students and instructor, on what they liked, what they wanted more of, and what they wanted done differently. For example, he adds a new chapter on how to formulate a research question appropriate for qualitative research. Among other topics are focusing a research project, choosing a methodology, developing data analysis, the literature review chapter, and making good use of a supervisor. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) In the fourth edition of his best-selling textbook, David Silverman provides a step-by-step guide to planning and conducting qualitative research. Using real examples from real postgraduate students, the book makes it easy to link theory to methods and shows how to move from understanding the principles of qualitative research to doing it yourself. The new edition has been fully updated and now includes:- a brand new chapter on formulating a research question appropriate for qualitative research- an expanded discussion of the role of theory in research - extended discussion of case study research and the number of cases needed for effective qualitative research- further coverage of focus groups and analysing internet data- new student examples from around the world- a new section on the common pitfalls encountered in qualitative research- an expanded companion website with more student examples and videos.Filled with exercises to test your understanding and develop your skills, as well as Davids own tips for research success based on years of experience, this book is essential reading for anyone doing qualitative research. The most successful text from one of the biggest names in the field, this fourth edition continues to provide students with clear guidance on the process of doing qualitative research, and has been updated with coverage of devising research questions; new student examples; common pitfalls to avoid; and much more

Arvustused

David Silverman expands and revises his seminal text to include a new chapter on Effective Qualitative Research where he provides five rules to guide the research process. With this book students and novice researchers alike have the resources and necessary tools to produce an effective research study, thesis, or dissertation. Dale Crowe Faculty, School of Advanced Studies , University of Phoenix Overall, this new edition is a comprehensive and welcome updating of what was already an essential text. Silverman takes his readers through a substantial and comprehensive introduction to qualitative research and gives them pointers for where to go next. This book will be of great use to students studying research methods, and will give them a thorough and readable introduction to what can sometimes feel like a rather overwhelming subject. As such it deserves its place on reading lists. -- Sally Brown any practitioner who has been away from the classroom and textbooks for some time will find this resource refreshing, engaging and help re-light their passion for qualitative research. Silverman pulls no punches in challenging the reader to be brave, bold, and open in their approach and application. -- Shane Brownie * SRA Research Matters *
