Inhaltsangabe

In this volume, researchers, practitioners, participants, and scholars address the proliferation of methodologies, ethical and disciplinary concerns, and issues of equity and diversity such research raises from a wide variety of viewpoints.

Acts of Inquiry in Qualitative Research also presents a broad assortment of articles by authors from several academic disciplines who examine their own fields' contribution to qualitative research in the past as well as future trends.

The book is divided into six sections reflecting different acts of inquiry in qualitative research:

• habits of thought and work
• ethics and validity
• the relationships of the researcher and the participants
• data collection
• data analysis and interpretations
• the uses of research

Acts of Inquiry is unique in bringing together a rich collection of theoretical arguments and case studies, making it an invaluable resource for teaching, learning, and practicing qualitative research.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

&;Acts of Inquiry in Qualitative Research presents a rich array of recent symposium articles that trace important sources of qualitative research in a range of academic disciplines. That in itself is a significant contribution to the field. But it also includes some of Harvard Educational Review&;s best previously published articles that depict a range of methodologies, ethical concerns, and critical insights into the complexities of qualitative research and its intersection with issues of equity and diversity. This important new volume takes the reader to both the roots of the field of qualitative research and some of its boundaries.&; &; Irving Seidman, Professor, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

&;As qualitative research approaches flourish and diversify in today&;s educational world, Acts of Inquiry in Qualitative Research is a needed and welcome contribution. I particularly appreciate the fact that the volume probes gray areas in research where ethical and methodological questions are not easily answered. These include the ambiguity of researcher and participant roles in all their various educational guises&;teacher, student, teacher educator, educational researcher, policymaker. This volume celebrates and explores such issues with theoretical sophistication and a wealth of empirical data.&; &; Nancy H. Hornberger, Professor, University of Pennsylvania

&;Many texts on how to conduct qualitative research now exist, but to fully understand the fruits of qualitative inquiry, one needs exemplars of high-quality, published qualitative studies. This extraordinary collection meets that long-standing need, addressing a wide range of issues and putting to rest the myth that qualitative findings can&;t be reduced to a form publishable in a premier journal. Here, in one place, is the contrary evidence. Acts of Inquiry in Qualitative Research renders a great service to the field of qualitative research.&; &; Michael Quinn Patton, Author, Qualitative Evaluation and Research Methods
