With a clear focus on the ‘how to’ of QDA, each chapter includes:
•Step-by-step descriptions of how to apply each approach in your research
•Online and in-text activities to help you practice your skills
•Annotated reading lists so you can dig deeper into key topics
•Case studies from a range of disciplines so you can see how each approach works in practice.
The perfect companion on your journey through QDA, the book also offers a comprehensive introduction to the use of NVivo QDA software, helping both new and experienced researchers get to grips with the essentials.
This book is to be applauded. Not only does it introduce students to different forms of qualitative analysis, it also helps them choose amongst these and put them into practice. This is all too rare.
Some very good and supportive sections to help researchers.
Not for undergraduates but great resource for Masters and Doctoral students whose research design is qualitative.
Stevens explains the different approaches to analysing qualitative data well and will be useful for undergraduates looking to undertake a qualitative project.
A must read for all qualitative researchers.
This is a very informative book that has become a firm favourite with students on our programme. The book is well presented, clearly focused, and the reference list at the end of chapters is a useful tool for further reading.
It introduces the students to the basic approaches to data analysis. It is an easy-to-understand text.
