{"product_id":"the-sage-encyclopedia-of-qualitative-research-methods","title":"The SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods","description":"\u003cp\u003eQualitative research is designed to explore the human elements of a given topic, while specific qualitative methods examine how individuals see and experience the world. Qualitative approaches are typically used to explore new phenomena and to capture individuals\u0026amp;#8242; thoughts, feelings, or interpretations of meaning and process. Such methods are central to research conducted in education, nursing, sociology, anthropology, information studies, and other disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and health sciences. Qualitative research projects are informed by a wide range of methodologies and theoretical frameworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods\u003c\/b\u003e presents current and complete information as well as ready-to-use techniques, facts, and examples from the field of qualitative research in a very accessible style. In taking an interdisciplinary approach, these two volumes target a broad audience and fill a gap in the existing reference literature for a general guide to the core concepts that inform qualitative research practices. The entries cover every major facet of qualitative methods, including access to research participants, data coding, research ethics, the role of theory in qualitative research, and much more--all without overwhelming the informed reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefines and explains core concepts, describes the techniques involved in the implementation of qualitative methods, and presents an overview of qualitative approaches to research \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers many entries that point to substantive debates among qualitative researchers regarding how concepts are labeled and the implications of such labels for how qualitative research is valued\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuides readers through the complex landscape of the language of qualitative inquiry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes contributors from various countries and disciplines that reflect a diverse spectrum of research approaches from more traditional, positivist approaches, through postmodern, constructionist ones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents some entries written in first-person voice and others in third-person voice to reflect the diversity of approaches that define qualitative work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Themes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproaches and Methodologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArts-Based Research, Ties to\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer Software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData Analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData Types and Characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDissemination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of Qualitative Research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantitative Research, Ties to\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch Ethics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextual Analysis, Ties to\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheoretical and Philosophical Frameworks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods\u003c\/b\u003e is designed to appeal to undergraduate and graduate students, practitioners, researchers, consultants, and consumers of information across the social sciences, humanities, and health sciences, making it a welcome addition to any academic or public library.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EncyclopediaCenter.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47851033362657,"sku":"9781412941631","price":430.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/7859\/6577\/files\/9781412941631.jpg?v=1768340057","url":"https:\/\/encyclopediacenter.com\/products\/the-sage-encyclopedia-of-qualitative-research-methods","provider":"EncyclopediaCenter.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
