Create a flyer for "Qualitative Research for the Social Sciences"

“I really like the proposed textbook. Based on the prospectus and the outline I would very likely adopt the textbook for the next methods course.”

Not quite suitable for the curriculum targeted in the course. There are other textbooks that are more manageable for the students enrolled in the course.

A decent text, but did not quite meet my needs for the particular course for which I was considering it.

An excellent and accessible guide for Social Science students - this book untangles and demystifies.

Good in making qualitative research methods easy to comprehend and appreciate their use in nursing settings.

A broad look at the many aspects, approaches to and outcomes of qualitative research.

There is often a choice when it comes to qualitative research books. They are either very difficult for students to understand as they appear to be written for those researchers who are already applying the methods, or they can be made a little too simplistic in their explanations that the meaning gets lost. This publication sits nicely in the middle. It is easy to understand yet does delve in depth into the different topics.

The text is suitable for levels 5 & 6 and offers students a broad summary of the methodology and approaches to conducting research

A nicely structured book that uses very approachable language for students. A great source for in-depth further reading sources.

Applicable to the South African environment especially to prospective forensic investigation students.

I think the book provides a really good explanation of the research process using qualitative methodology. All of the chapters are well-written and easy to read, also providing concrete examples on for instance how to conduct interviews, providing steps on how to do qualitative analysis etc. What I liked was also the chapter about reviewing the research literature which is many times in the books about Evidence-based practice. Also, the use of technology chapter is very helpful, especially since the technology is really important in our every day lifes now.

A highly valuable text which makes this field of research highly accessible.

I have found 2 other books which I thought were more applicable to the level of my students and what they need.

I have put through orders to all the libraries on our different campuses to order some copies of this book as it is a beneficial resource which should be available to them.

“I am likely to adopt this text.  I think it will be a fresh alternative and/or supplement to the text I now read and require for the course.”           

“I will adopt the book for both classroom and online teaching.”

“This book is a contribution to Qualitative Research. The content is similar to other texts, the writing and approach to delivery of QR is a bit different. The chapter on Social Media is a departure and makes the text attractive...”

“I would be likely to adopt this text as it is more undergraduate friendly than other texts in the field.”
