This collection of 11 original in-depth accounts of qualitative
research and evaluation in developing countries argues that such
innovative methods offer considerable advantages over traditional
methods. With examples drawn from Asia, Africa, the South Pacific,
Central America and the Caribbean, each chapter focuses upon a
specific method-such as qualitative interviews, fieldwork or
document analysis-and considers related theoretical and practical
issues. Key issues addressed include the identification of
appropriate research questions; access; research ethics;
practitioner research; case study evaluation; North-South
collaboration and the potential of qualitative research for
policy-making and theory.
First published in 1992. This book provides accounts of case-study
research and evaluation in the area of special educational needs
carried out by teachers in ordinary and special schools.
Contributors discuss their experiences of the problems and
possibilities of teacher research and provide advice on
information-gathering, analysis and writing up. The findings
presented address both whole-school matters, such as the use of
support staff in ordinary schools, and the development of an
assessment policy in a special school, and a range of current
issues, such as partnership with parents and the teaching of
children with emotional and behavioural difficulties. It is of
interest to all teachers and tutors involved in research-based
courses, students in primary and secondary initial teacher
training, teachers on in-service courses, support staff for special
educational needs.

This book, first published in 1982, shows that jazz and blues are
music forms that are about individualism, experiment, expression
and feeling. From their origin in the work songs and spirituals of
America's southern slaves, through to their adaptation to the urban
adaptation to the urban environment in Chicago and New Orleans, the
author details the social and economic background that saw the
birth of the blues and jazz, and introduces and appraises their
leading exponents. He shows how African rhythms were combined with
an American musical tradition to produce a distinctive style which
was to revitalise Western music.
The approach of this book, first published in 1982, is
multi-disciplinary. Popular music, it is argued, is not only a
musical but also a social phenomenon; the criteria needed to assess
it are different from those used in the appreciation of 'classical'
music. The first section of this guide is devoted to setting out
just what those criteria should be. A second section puts forward
bases for course construction that are detailed and flexible. A
final section provides a list of further resources.
