Qualitative Inquiry & Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches PDF Book, Ebook, PDF Download, Digital Book

In this revised fourth edition of their best-selling text, John W. Creswell and new co-author Cheryl N. Port explore the philosophical foundations, history, and key elements of five qualitative inquiry approaches: narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case studies. Retaining Creswell's signature writing style, the authors compare each approach and relate their research designs to their respective traditions of inquiry in a highly accessible manner. Featuring new content, articles, pedagogy, references, and expanded coverage of ethics, the fourth edition is an ideal introduction to the theory, strategies, and practice of qualitative inquiry.
