Deskripsi
How does the type of tradition of qualitative inquiry shape the design of a study?
This book is my attempt to answer this question. My primary intent is to examine 5 different traditions of qualitative inquiry—biography, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case studies—and compare them in 6 phases of research design. Early in the book, I sharpen the distinctions between traditions and research through the presentation of 5 short qualitative studies, each representing one of the traditions. Also, I provide tables in the chapters that summarize major differences among the traditions in research design. I end by turning a case study into a biography, a phenomenology, grounded theory study, and an ethnography. Throughout the book, the reader will gain a better understanding of each tradition of inquiry and explore with me features common to qualitative research regardless of tradition.
