520 _aDesigned with the student in mind, Qualitative Research: Bridging the Conceptual, Theoretical, and Methodological is designed to help the reader cultivate and integrate theoretical, methodological and conceptual knowledge to provide insight into the interaction and to help understand the central concepts, topics and skills needed to engage in rigorous, valid, and respectful qualitative research. Authors Sharon Ravitch and Nicole Mittenfelner Carl have executed a real balancing act, i.e., communicating the foundations and processes of qualitative research with clarity and simplicity, while at the same time capturing its complexity and the multiple layers that were central to writing this book. Whether you are new to qualitative research or not, the goal is that this book will develop and deepen your understanding of an approach to research that seeks, designs for, and engages what the authors refer to as "criticality in qualitative research". Every chapters begins with an overview and key objectives for the chapter. Many diverse examples throughout along with a wide range of memos, conceptual framework narratives and graphics and much more.
