Illustrating the techniques of qualitative research to help readers learn to read, analyze, and design studies themselves

Taking a well-rounded and practical look at qualitative educational research, this book focuses on the diverse ways that qualitative researchers design their studies, and illustrates the wide range of techniques with myriad examples.

The text concludes with an "Issues and Concepts" section that addresses issues that are at the forefront of this rapidly changing field.
