Product Description
The teaching of qualitative analysis in the social sciences is rarely undertaken in a structured way. This handbook is designed to remedy that and to present students and researchers with a systematic method for interpreting qualitative data', whether derived from interviews, field notes, or documentary materials. The special emphasis of the book is on how to develop theory through qualitative analysis. The reader is provided with the tools for doing qualitative analysis, such as codes, memos, memo sequences, theoretical sampling and comparative analysis, and diagrams, all of which are abundantly illustrated by actual examples drawn from the author's own varied qualitative research and research consultations, as well as from his research seminars. Many of the procedural discussions are concluded with rules of thumb that can usefully guide the researchers' analytic operations. The difficulties that beginners encounter when doing qualitative analysis and the kinds of persistent questions they raise are also discussed, as is the problem of how to integrate analyses. In addition, there is a chapter on the teaching of qualitative analysis and the giving of useful advice during research consultations, and there is a discussion of the preparation of material for publication. The book has been written not only for sociologists but for all researchers in the social sciences and in such fields as education, public health, nursing, and administration who employ qualitative methods in their work.

This book by Anshelm Strauss is the text and presentation of a workshop on Grounded Theory. (Anshelm Strauss is half of the team that invented this qualitative research methodology in the 1960's.) What is beneficial about this book is that it takes you through the critical thinking involved in content analysis and the development of core phoenomenon.br /br /It is not an easy read-- but nothing about Grounded Theory is. br /br /What this book provided is a clearly written, strong resource that students can reference repeatedly to get their qualitative research conceptualized to the depth and breath needed to present and complete their research.br /
