Dans ce manuel, la recherche qualitative est presentee comme un processus iteratif plutot que lineaire. Il s'agit du compagnon de voyage ideal pour tout chercheur en sciences sociales afin de le guider du debut du processus de recherche qualitative jusqu'a sa toute fin, soit a l'etape de redaction du memoire, de la these ou du rapport de recherche. Les auteures proposent une reflexion sur les etapes conceptuelles, methodologiques et ethiques du processus de creation du savoir pour ensuite se pencher sur l'analyse du materiel empirique. L'ouvrage a d'ailleurs recours a des applications concretes pour demontrer la maniere dont les decisions methodologiques se traduisent dans la pratique. Malgre l'ouverture et la flexibilite de leur approche, les auteures ne favorisent pas une posture relativiste, mais traitent de l'importance de repondre a des criteres de validite explicites et a des ecueils a eviter en analyse qualitative. Style engageant, conseils pratiques, illustrations claires, exemples varies et syntheses composent ce manuel qui vise a concretiser le processus de recherche qualitative, souvent abstrait pour le chercheur novice. Ce livre est publie en francais. - L'aventure de la recherche qualitative takes students from start-to-finish through the research process while showcasing the complexities and interrelationships of different methods, schools of thought, and associated analytical strategies.
