Inhaltsangabe

Transforming Qualitative Data explores the processes of examining qualitative data and producing a complete study. Breaking down the transformation process into description, analysis and interpretation, he examines these three related activities in a major introductory essay. To illustrate these points, he critically examines his own work, using nine previous studies as illustrations. Written with the usual wit and brilliance of Wolcott′s work, the book concludes by examining how to learn - and how to teach - qualitative research using the principles outlined.
