Abstract

Basics of Qualitative Research: Techniques and Procedures for Developing Grounded Theory

Highlights

I am not an expert in other methods . . . each method has its own theoretical foundation, purpose and procedures for collecting and analyzing data
I could see using Basics of Qualitative Research as a teaching text, in conjunction with other qualitative research texts, such as van Manen’s (1997) Researching Lived Experiences on phenomenology, and Clandinin and Connelly’s (2000) Narrative Inquiry, to compare and contrast different qualitative research methodologies. It would make for a great graduate research methods seminar, but the complexity of these different qualitative research methodologies is missing from this book
Two other issues worth mentioning in Corbin and Strauss’ Basics of Qualitative Research could be addressed in future editions

Summary

Introduction

I am not an expert in other methods . . . each method has its own theoretical foundation, purpose and procedures for collecting and analyzing data. Basics of Qualitative Research one research process, that of grounded theory, rather than all research. Those new to qualitative research might mistake this particular grounded theory approach for a generalized qualitative research methodology.
