Home / Books / Qualitative inquiry & research design: choosing among five approaches

By John W. Creswell, University of Michigan and Cheryl N. Poth, University of Alberta

This book explores the philosophical underpinnings, history, and key elements of five qualitative inquiry approaches: narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study. The authors compare the approaches and relate research designs to each of the traditions of inquiry in a highly accessible manner. Featuring new content, articles, pedagogy, references, and expanded coverage of ethics throughout, the book is an introduction to the theories, strategies, and practices of qualitative inquiry. –Summary from library catalog
