"Willis catches the student up on relevant aspects of philosophy,
empiricism, history, and prevailing political influences. This
building of chronology is so valuable for students in understanding
the origins of specific schools of thought in relations to a
paradigm." -Heather T. Zeng, NACADA Foundations of Qualitative
Research introduces key theoretical and epistemological concepts
replete with historical and current real-world examples. Author
Jerry W. Willis provides an invaluable resource to guide the
critical and qualitative inquiry process written in an accessible
and non-intimidating style that brings these otherwise difficult
concepts to life. Key Features: Covers the conceptual foundations
of interpretive, critical, and post-positivist paradigms: A
thorough background of theory and social inquiry is given by
looking at the development of each paradigm throughout history.
Provides real-world examples: Cases illustrate different approaches
to the same research problem so that students can better understand
the contrasting features of these paradigms. Introduces seven
qualitative research frameworks: In-depth coverage is provided on
Altheide and Johnson's Analytic Realism; Denzin and Lincoln's
Interpretive Perspective; Eisner's Connoisseurship Model of
Inquiry; Semiotics; the Phenomenological Psychological Model;
Poststructuralism and Postmodernism; and Symbolic Interactionism.
Offers general guidelines for qualitative research: Conceptually
covers the best practices, approaches to data analysis, and
interpretation of qualitative research. Examines emergent methods
in qualitative research: New research areas such as PAR,
emancipatory research, and participatory design research are
included, as well as exemplary journal articles to further
illustrate how theory links to research practice. Intended
Audience: This text is designed for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students taking their first or second qualitative research
methods course in the fields of Education, Psychology, and the
Health and Social Sciences. It is also an excellent theory
companion supplement to the more applied qualitative methods text.
