Collecting and Interpreting Qualitative Materials

Book Overview

In this, the third of a three-volume paperback version of the landmark Handbook of Qualitative Research, editors Norman K. Denzin and Yvonna S. Lincoln turn to the tasks of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting qualitative materials. Part I, on collecting and analyzing, looks at core topics such as interviewing, document analysis, visual materials, data management, and the use of computers in qualitative research, among others. Part II, which focuses on interpretation, examines the criteria for assessing validity in qualitative research, writing as a method of inquiry, program evaluation, and the role of qualitative research in the policy process. The Handbook of Qualitative Research is widely considered to be the state of the art in evaluating the field of qualitative inquiry. Now published in paperback in response to the needs of classroom teachers, Collecting and Interpreting Qualitative Materials will be an ideal supplement for a course on research methods, across a wide number of academic disciplines.
