Synopsis

While there are many qualitative research methods books on the market, few are comprehensive enough to support an entire course and few are oriented specifically to research in education. This book addresses these problems through its comprehensiveness and its dedication to the world of teaching and learning. Qualitative Research in Education brings together the major topics of planning, doing, and communicating results and serves as an essential text for students in education.
