Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In this, the third of a three-volume paperback version of the landmark Handbook of Qualitative Research , editors Norman K Denzin and Yvonna S Lincoln turn to the tasks of collecting, analyzing and interpreting qualitative materials. Part One looks at core topics such as interviewing, document analysis, visual materials, data management, and the use of computers in qualitative research, among others. Part Two examines the criteria for assessing validity in qualitative research, writing as a method of inquiry, program evaluation, and the role of qualitative research in the policy process.
The Handbook of Qualitative Research is widely considered to be the state of the art in evaluating the field of qualitative inquiry and is now published in paperback in response to the needs of classroom teachers.
