Product Description
Review
"Creswell does an excellent job categorizing the various qualitative methods into five approaches: narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study...The author has expanded on and updated the information he presented in the first edition of the book (Creswell, 1998), including discussion of the various schools of thought that have developed among qualitative researchers since the mid 1990's...Qualitative Inquiry & Research Design: Choosing among five approaches is a highly informative book; researchers will likely return again and against to the book as they expand their comfort zone within qualitative research."
-Peggy M. Delmas, University of Alabama (Peggy M. Delmas National ACademic ADvising Association )

Format:Paperback
I found this book an excellent way to introduce myself to the research methodologies used by qualitative researchers. Creswell's approach is simple yet detailed. he explains the five main approaches used in qualitative data collection, analysis and intrepretation. He draws from his own wide experience in this field as well as using other peoples research. I found the examples of studies in the appendix and the explanation of deconstruction used by the authors in their analytical section of their research a most interesting and valuable tool. I recommend this book for those who wish to get to grips with the concepts of qualitative researchers. Its a gtreat introduction as well as a valuable refrence work.

Format:Paperback
Creswell has a very straightforward and easy to understand style. He takes different aspects of research and looks at them from the perspective of the five methodologies, making it very easy to determine which ones seem most appropriate for the research being considered, and why. I found it very readable, which meant I learned more about methodologies I am not currently considering, just because it was interesting and I kept on reading. His presentation of published papers and then discussion also helps to put things in context, in a way theory just can't! For those starting to explore the differences in approach, as I was, this is a very good and helpful book.
Format:Paperback
John Cresswell has written a book whose style and layout make it perfect for the social science student studying research methods and about to embark on a research project. Two of the reasons for the effectiveness of this book are: 1)he uses real exmples to illustrate the otherwise abstract points he's making and 2)he organises the material and writes in a style that target those who are new to research. A message to Research Methods lecturers: if you're going to have a standard textbook on your programme, make it this one.
