More Details

Summary:

"Written in an informal, jargon-free style, Qualitative Research Design: An Interactive Approach provides researchers and students with a user-friendly, step-by-step guide to planning qualitative research. It shows how the components of design interact with each other, and provides a strategy for creating coherent and workable relationships among these design components, highlighting key design issues. The text offers an original, innovative model of design based on a systemic rather than a linear or typological strucure, which is well suited for designing studies and writing research proposals."--Page 4 of cover
