An Introduction to Qualitative Research
- Uwe Flick - Freie Universtität Berlin, Germany
Continuing to be THE guide to the whole qualitative research process for students, this book looks at both the theory behind qualitative research and how to put it into practice in your own work. For students across a range of social science disciplines and beyond, this is a must to help you enhance your research project.
This edition introduces:
- a decolonisation of methodologies
- a range of indigenous, queer and feminist perspectives on methodologies
- assistance with defending a viva and alternative forms of assessment to suit a changing world.
More additions to this seventh edition include a section on the subjectivity of a researcher, and how your identity will shape your research. The further reading has been curated to include more than just western voices, providing you with global perspectives on qualitative research. This text introduces how to sensitively undertake ethical and inclusive research with marginalised groups.
This book will help you master a comprehensive understanding of qualitative research.
Supplements
A very clear introduction to QR - easy to navigate and find information quickly for busy students.
Real world application and question prompts mean students can use the book in an active way.
The book gives an easy guideline for beginner researchers with examples which makes it easy for the students to follow the concept.
Excellent text which I have found is applicable to students at all levels from undergraduate to PhD. Clearly written with excellent examples of research in practice. Research methodology is clearly explored making this an accessible text.
An excellent and comprehensive overview of qualitative research. It is accessible at an introductory level and is a useful 'one-stop shop' for our students. I will be recommending it to colleagues.
An extremely useful book for students that provides a comprehensive overview of qualitative research methodologies. It is particularly useful for students grappling with theory and provides a good basic introduction that is suitable for undergraduates in psychology. It would be great, however, to see a little more on the conceptual basis and frameworks of the various methodologies in future editions. This is largely absent in most undergraduate textbooks on qualitative research methods aimed at undergraduates. That said, I look forward to future editions and highly recommend this book as a good starting point.
This edition is well structured and easy to follow. It provides clear direction of the theory and methods behind qualitative research and how it can be applied
A coherently structured and easy to read text that guides the students through the complex procedures of qualitative research.
The text is suitable for our Undergraduate and Postgraduate students conducting research projects. A comprehensive presentation of planning and executing qualitative research.
An excellent text that takes a robust and comprehensive approach to a wide range of qualitative concepts and ideas that will be very helpful to student researchers and their lecturers.
Does not meet the needs of nursing doctoral students.
Excellent book but I won’t include enough qualitative content in this course to justify the purchase of an entire textbook. Thanks! :)
