Basics of qualitative research

The ‘Third Edition of Basics of Qualitative Research: Techniques and Procedures for Developing Grounded Theory’ inspires a new generation of qualitative researchers in both the art and science of doing qualitative research analysis. The authors provide a step-by-step guide to the research act – from the formation of the research question through several approaches to coding and analysis, to reporting on the research. The book is significantly revised and shows the actual steps involved in data analysis (from description to grounded theory) and data gathering by means of theoretical sampling. It provides activities for thinking, writing and group discussion that reinforce material presented in the text. Furthermore the book includes real data and practice with qualitative software such as MAXQDA, as well as student practice exercises.
