Qualitative Research and Case Study Applications in Education: Revised and Expanded from Case Study Research in Education

An invaluable resource----one that will open up the conceptual world of qualitative research and provide the step--by--step direction needed to translate those concepts into practice. ---- M. Carolyn Clark, Department of Educational Human Resource Development, College of Education, Texas A&M University Since Merriam's definitive Case Study Research in Education first appeared in 1988, significant advances have occurred in the field of qualitative research. To meet the demand for a book that reflects these important changes, Merriam has completely revised and updated her classic work. Timely, authoritative, and approachable, Qualitative Research and Case Study Applications in Education is a practical resource that offers the information and guidance needed to manage all phases of the qualitative and case study research process.
