Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: Useful Customer Rating:   What I like about this is that it offers very concrete steps about how to take data and pull it all together. How to start linking ideas, put together themes, develop more complex matrices, etc. I will say that the text is rather difficult reading and the examples, almost all from evaluation of educational programs, are often difficult to understand and follow. If you have some experience with qualitative data, this book may be helpful. I think I'll still have to do more reading to understand the analysis process, though. OUTSTANDING TEXT AND NEVER OUTDATED Customer Rating: This is a great book for guidance for qualitative analysis. It never becomes outdated and is an industry standard. Basics well covered Customer Rating: An excellent book covering the basics of qualitative data analysis (QDA) with a fair amount of coverage of computer tools that support QDA. While computer samples are provided through out the book and an Appendix provides a summary of tools available at time of publication, greater emphasis could have been placed on the capabilities of QDA software, especially such tools as HyperRESEARCH (http:/www.researchware.com/) or Atlas.ti (http://www.atlasti.com/) to name just two. The Bible for Qualitative Researchers Customer Rating: This book is one of the main reasons I was able to tackle my dissertation so effectively. It is priceless. Not very helpful for dissertation work Customer Rating: This publication is well organized and covers a large scope of data analysis in qualitative research but did very little, in my opinion, to guide me, as a dissertation author, in the process of coding and thematic analysis. A book entitled Qualitative Data Analysis, I think, should cover the actual analysis of qualitative data more than the type of introduction to design of qualitative research. One finds this information in many, many other titles- and to a more useable extent to boot. Two of the 13 chapters were helpful in meeting my needs (Chapter 4: Early Steps in Analysis and Chapter 10: Making Good Sense: Drawing and Verifying Conclusions) While there is a wealth of information presented in a well-written manner such as information about the display of data, my initial reading of the book was followed by immediate shelving. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
