Product Description

Product Description

This book offers the most comprehensive and straightforward coverage of doing qualitative research on the market, now with a new chapter on Action Research.

The author's central purpose remains a desire to instruct inexperienced researchers in ways of effectively collecting, organizing, and making sense of qualitative data, while stressing the importance of ethics in research and in taking the time to properly design and think through any research endeavor. After reading this book, fledgling researchers should be able to design, collect, and analyze data and then present their results to the scientific community.



From the Back Cover

Unique in both its scope and its focus, Qualitative Research Methods is a comprehensive introduction to designing, collecting, analyzing, and reporting research data. Designed for readers without prior experience in data collection, this book also stresses the importance of ethics in research and taking the time to properly design and think through any research endeavor.

Topics new to the fifth edition include appropriate uses for the Internet, and using computers as a tool for interviewing and for conducting ethnographic research. Additionally, a new “Moderator's Guide” provides the focus group facilitators with a step-by-step guide to conducting interviews.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Qualitative Research Methods wrapped up in one book, 8 Mar 2001
    By Dr. Wendy Shaw "Wendy" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    As a PhD student in the Social Sciences, I have needed to investigate qualitative research methodologies for my own research quite recently. Berg's book has provided me with all the detail, ehtical issues and research techniques that I ever wanted to know about, in a clear and concise style. If you are not sure what type of research methods you want to use, start here with Berg. He offers informative text from both schools of thought before proceeding with design, ethics, the practical interviewing in groups and one-to-one, as well as going further afield and looking into case studies, ethnographic strategies and content analysis for example. This third edition has been expanded and revised, and can be used as a handbook for anyone interested in qualitative research techniques either as a stand alone text or in conjunction with similar titles. I like this text in particular, because it guides you every step of the way from design to delivery of the qualitative results and does not presume that you are an experienced researcher. I intend to dip into this handbook well after the current research is completed in the next few months for reference.
