This concise introduction to qualitative research design will help you to think through the questions you need to ask when embarking on your research. Uwe Flick discusses each stage of the process of designing qualitative research,from turning an idea into a research question, selecting a sample, choosing an appropriate strategy, developing a conceptual framework and data source, and preparing for data collecting and analysis. This book can be used alongside other titles in the SAGE Qualitative Research Kit but can equally be used on its own. It is an invaluable companion to students and scholars embarking on research in in the social sciences, health, business and education.

This short, easy to read introduction to grounded theory will help you to employ the method in your research project. Uwe Flick discusses each stage of the process of doing grounded theory research, including formulating a research question through analysis of data, theoretical sampling, sorting and saturation, data collection, coding and forming theories from data.

Quality underpins the success (or failure) of any piece of qualitative research. In this book, Uwe Flick takes you through the steps in method and design to ensure quality and reliability throughout the entire research process. Showing hands-on what it means to 'manage' quality, this book puts the spotlight on practical questions and steps researchers can use to continually interrogate, improve and demonstrate quality in your research.

This book shows you not just how to use triangulation as a strategy of quality management, but also how to use it as an approach to designing and doing qualitative research in a more comprehensive way. Flick links triangulation with current debates about using mixed methods, and outlines their potential for extending qualitative research, addressing questions such as how such research can benefit from integrating quantitative (mixed methods), or from working more generally with more than one approach (triangulation).

If you want to use interview methods in your research project but are not sure where to start, this book will get you up and running. With hands-on advice for every stage of the social research process, it helps you succeed in every step, from understanding interview research through to designing and conducting your study and working with data. The book: Discusses eight methods of interviewing in-depth, including semi-structured interviews, narrative interviews, focus groups and online interviews.Features over 75 case studies of real interview research from across the globe, including Australia, Canada, Germany, Norway, the Philippines and South Africa.Spotlights strategies for conducting ethical, inclusive research, including indigenous research approaches. Packed not only with learning features - including learning objectives, checklists of questions to ask yourself at every stage of your project, practical exercises to help you put your learning into practice and further reading so you can broaden your knowledge - it is also supported by online resources such as annotated transcripts and videos of mock interviews to empower any social science student to use interview research methods with confidence.

Continuing to be THE guide to the whole qualitative research process for students, this book looks at both the theory behind qualitative research and how to put it into practice in your own work. For students across a range of social science disciplines and beyond, this is a must to help you enhance your research project. This edition introduces: a decolonisation of methodologies a range of indigenous, queer and feminist perspectives on methodologiesassistance with defending a viva and alternative forms of assessment to suit a changing world. More additions to this seventh edition include a section on the subjectivity of a researcher, and how your identity will shape your research. The further reading has been curated to include more than just western voices, providing you with global perspectives on qualitative research. This text introduces how to sensitively undertake ethical and inclusive research with marginalised groups. This book will help you master a comprehensive understanding of qualitative research.

Qualitative Sozialforschung findet immer weitere Verbreitung und differenziert sich immer stärker. Diese Neuausgabe führt entlang des Forschungsprozesses in die theoretischen Grundlagen, die methodischen Ansätze und ihre Anwendung ein. Der Stoff ist nunmehr didaktisch aufbereitet und das Buch um neue Kapitel erweitert worden.

Eingeführt wird in die verschiedenen Formen empirischer Sozialforschung. Dabei werden die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede qualitativer und quantitativer Forschung wie auch die jweiligen Grenzen verdeutlicht. Gegeben werden Anhaltspunkte, welche Richtungen sinnvoll einzuschlagen sind.

Der Alltag wird technisiert. Technik wird alltäglich. Was heißt technischer Wandel für die, die ihn gestalten, und was für diejenigen, die mit ihm (nur) konfrontiert sind? Antwort auf solche Fragen gibt die Analyse von Alltagswissen über technischen Wandel am Beispiel von Haushaltstechnik, Computer und Fernsehen. Alltagswissen wird in der sozialkonstruktivistischen Perspektive der sozialen Repräsentationen konzipiert, wobei der Akzent auf seinen narrativen Anteilen liegt. Das hier entwickelte, episodische Interview dient der Rekonstruktion des Alltagswissens. Thematisiert werden darin erste Erfahrungen mit Technik, Veränderungen ihrer alltäglichen Verwendung und Folgen zunehmender Technisierung. Ergebnisse sind eine Alltagstheorie technischen Wandels und ihre jeweiligen Akzentuierungen bei verschiedenen Berufsgruppen (Informatiker, Sozialwissenschaftler, Lehrer) in Frankreich,Ost- und Westdeutschland.

Das Buch führt anhand konkreter Vorgehensweisen in die Diskussion und Praxis der Triangulation ein. Es zeichnet Ursprung und Geschichte des Konzepts sowie kritische Diskussionen nach. Triangulation sollte sich nicht in der reinen Verbindung von Methoden erschöpfen. Erst in der Verknüpfung deren theoretischer Hintergründe entfaltet sie ihr Potential. An praktischen Beispielen wird die Triangulation verschiedener qualitativer und von qualitativen mit quantitativen Methoden dargestellt. Ausgewählte Studien mit diesen Formen werden vorgestellt, um die Beurteilung des Nutzens und des Aufwandes von Triangulation zu erleichtern. Praktische Durchführungsprobleme von Triangulationsstudien werden als Leitfaden für Studierende behandelt. Die Bedeutung von Triangulation als Kriterium qualitativer Forschung, in der Verallgemeinerung und als Mittel der Erkenntnis wird an ihrer Verwendung in den unterschiedlichen Schritten des Forschungsprozesses verdeutlicht.
