Description

By neglecting the "human" factor in the process of research analysis, much has been lost and researchers are looking for ways to broaden the social reality in their research. In this volume, the research perspective adopted shows new methods of dealing with the world of education, including ethnographic studies and action research. The "voices" offer a critical insight into both the scientific rationale and the methodological application of their individual approaches. This book aims to provide a rich source of material for students and researchers doing qualitative analysis and is aimed particularly at BEd and MEd students and lecturers, at ethnographers and at PhD students of qualitative analysis.
