Transforming Qualitative Data : Description, Analysis, and Interpretation Paperback / softback
by Harry F. Wolcott
Paperback / softback
Description
After the glamour of working in the field is over, you now face the daunting challenge of transforming your field notes and interview tapes into a completed study.
But where do you start? In Transforming Qualitative Data, Harry F. Wolcott guides you through the process of completing your research study.
Beginning with an introductory chapter that presents his views on ethnography, he explores the transformation process by breaking it down into three related activities: description, analysis, and interpretation.
To illustrate each point, he critically examines his own work, using nine of his previous studies as illustrations.
Then he shows you how to learn—and to teach—qualitative research by applying the three principles outlined in the volume. Written with the usual wit and brilliance shown in Wolcott's work, Transforming Qualitative Data is a major statement on doing research by one of the master ethnographers of our time.
