Qualitative Research Methods in Education and Educational
Technology was written for students and scholars interested in
exploring the many qualitative methods developed over the last 50
years in the social sciences. The book does not stop, however, at
the boundaries of the social sciences. Social scientists now
consume and use research methods from many fields. The rich
resources of research methods and theories from both the humanities
and philosophy are also covered in this book. It explains why
postpositivist quantitative research should not be ""the only game
in town"" and provides solid theoretical foundations, beginning
with the positions of Plato and Aristotle, for broadening our
horizons about what warrants our attention. Using Aristotle's
concept of phronesis the author shows why methods such as narrative
research and storytelling, hermeneutic inquiry, literary theory,
philosophical inquiry, and much more have important applications in
education and educational technology.On those foundations, the
author also builds a framework for doing many types of research --
from participatory action research to content analysis, to
postmodern case studies, to empowerment research and philosophical
inquiry. He accomplishes this through a combination of original
text, summaries of exemplary research in education and educational
technology, and suggested readings that are annotated and
introduced at the end of each chapter. Many of these readings are
available online and they extend the discussion of research methods
or serve as exemplars of a particular type of educational
technology research. There are open ended and conceptual questions
for each reading, and developing your own answers to them is one
way you can extend your depth of understanding about qualitative
research methods in education and educational technology.
