FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Back Cover From reviews of the text: "I think its a great text: accessible, but sophisticated treatment of issues ... the style is excellent and the writing extraordinarily clear. The mix of examples from Glesnes own research (which shows how she has moved from approach to approach in qualitative work) and her students research are very informative." -- Lynne Hamer, University of Toledo "[T]he book is engaging, accessible, and comprehensive.... I particularly appreciate Glesnes attention to terminology ... The tools, examples, matrices, diagrams, and glossary add a valuable dimension to teaching qualitative research." -- Anita Wadhwa, Harvard Graduate School of Education "[Becoming Qualitative Researchers] expertly conveys the complex nature of doing qualitative research, complete with the joys and challenges, without driving students away. ... They leave intrigued and encouraged, despite understanding how complex and time consuming it is.... I get students from several other disciplines including social work, public health, nursing, ... they appreciate the fact that there are other examples of research in the text that come from outside the field of education." -- Michelle Lorraine Jay, University of South Carolina Author Biography Corrine Glesne is a qualitative research methodologist and educational anthropologist, Corrine Glesne has conducted ethnographic research in the United States and abroad. Her text Becoming Qualitative Researchers has been translated into several languages, including Turkish and Chinese.

The mix of examples from Glesnes own research (which shows how she has moved from approach to approach in qualitative work) and her students research are very informative." -- Lynne Hamer, University of Toledo Feature Ideal for the beginning researcher, the book is clear, accessible, encouraging, full of examples, and provides the perfect blend of theory and practice. The voices and experiences of students engage readers in quandaries and impediments encountered in conducting qualitative inquiry. Readers learn by working through the process of doing qualitative inquiry: research design, use of observations and documents, interviewing techniques, data analysis, and research representation. An abundance of examples throughout draws from the work of students, professors, and the author to encourage readers to apply what they have learned to real research experiences through the use of end-of-chapter questions. Students see how to design a research proposal, including examples from student dissertations. NEW! A redesigned Chapter 2 guides novice researchers more carefully through the steps of creating a research proposal. Students have opportunities for more in-depth examination of topics in the Recommended Readings sections at the end of each chapter and throughout the book, which introduce debates and controversies in qualitative inquiry, as well as to other texts, studies, and authors. NEW! Addressing the concerns of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is easier for students through the redesign of Chapter 6, which explains why the boards were formed and what their expected roles are, as well as some of the problems often associated with qualitative inquiry and IRB expectations. NEW! The sometimes-mysterious subject of data analysis is made clearer through discussion, examples, and instruction in thematic analysis and coding presented in Chapter 7. NEW! Students are encouraged and get help for approaching their research creatively through Chapter 9s focus on arts-based research, a topic not found in other introductory texts. Included are discussions and examples of approaches to arts-based research. NEW! Sharing work with peers is made easier through Chapter 10s section on presenting at conferences and an expanded discussion of publishing research work. NEW! Students see how to use various data collection approaches more effectively in qualitative inquiry. NEW! How to use field notes effectively is clarified in additional discussion and examples in Chapter 3. NEW! How to create good interview questions is covered in expanded discussion and examples in Chapter 4. NEW! Concepts are further illustrated through new figures, tables, and visual imagery provided throughout.
