It provides a clear explanation of the nature of qualitative research and its key concepts. Topics covered include: formulating qualitative research questions; ethical issues; in-depth interviews; focus group discussions; observation; coding; data analysis; and, writing up qualitative research. This text is ideal for any students taking a qualitative methods course or producing a qualitative research project at undergraduate or graduate level. It is illustrated throughout with case studies and field examples from a range of international contexts. The practical techniques are also accompanied by the author's own research tools including interview guides, real coded data and comprehensive research checklists.
