Perfect for the beginning social science researcher, this text book provides an introduction to qualitative research and evaluation. After introducing the basic theories of qualitative inquiry the book moves through each step of the process beginning with study deign and observation methods and concluding with interpretation skills and ways to enhance the credibility of research. The author relies heavily on real life stories and examples and cartoons to help students understand and remember complex topics. In addition, the book features side bars that review key ideas, numerous case studies and sections that introduce key debates and controversies in the field.

Drawing on more than 40 years of experience conducting applied social science research and program evaluation, author Michael Quinn Patton has crafted the most comprehensive and systematic book on qualitative research and evaluation methods, inquiry frameworks, and analysis options available today. Now offering more balance between applied research and evaluation, this Fourth Edition illuminates all aspects of qualitative inquiry through new examples, stories, and cartoons; more than a hundred new summarizing and synthesizing exhibits; and a wide range of new highlight sections/sidebars that elaborate on important and emergent issues. For the first time, full case studies are included to illustrate extended research and evaluation examples. In addition, each chapter features an extended "rumination," written in a voice and style more emphatic and engaging than traditional textbook style, about a core issue of persistent debate and controversy.

Arvustused

"Very thoughtful and thorough coverage of qualitative design and study." -- Kari OGrady Ph.D, Loyola University Maryland  "The content itself, based in years of thinking, reading, doing, conversing, is a huge strength. Reading the chapters is like sitting at the feet of one of the masters."  -- Kathleen A. Bolland, The University of Alabama "I cant emphasize enough the quality, detail, and depth of the presentation of research design and methods Students and experienced researchers will appreciate the depth of presentation of potential qualitative paradigms, theoretical orientations and frameworks as well as special methodological applications that are often not covered in other qualitative texts." -- Susan S. Manning, University of Denver "It is refreshing to see a text that engages the multiple philosophical and historical trajectories within a qualitative research tradition while integrating this discussion so well with the practice of research design, fieldwork strategies, and data analysis." -- Michael P. OMalley, Texas State University
