Qualitative Educational Research

Readings in Reflexive Methodology and Transformative Practice

Herausgegeben: Luttrell, Wendy

Beschreibung

Qualitative Educational Research is a comprehensive anthology designed to deepen education students' thinking about their qualitative research purposes, questions, and decision-making. Focusing on various epistemological, intellectual, and ethical conflicts in doing social analysis, this reader invites researchers-in-training to explore why, from what perspective, for whose benefit, and with what stakes are research questions being posed. Drawing from her wealth of expertise executing and teaching qualitative research methods, scholar Wendy Luttrell has selected essays that focus specifically on the challenges of qualitative inquiry as they pertain to the field of education. These essays present multiple paradigms and perspectives in qualitative inquiry, including interpretivism, critical theory, cultural studies, feminist theories, critical psychology, and critical race theory. Reflexive writing assignments at the end of the volume expand readers' understanding of the essaysand guide students through developing their own research design.

Rezensionen

Greg Dimitriadis, Associate Professor, SUNY Buffalo

"I think this is a potentially exciting project, which will open up an important pedagogical, practical, and theoretical discussion in education. . . . I think this book has a great deal of potential. It is certainly publishable with substantial revisions, such as those I suggested above. I think it would be a primary text in graduate-level qualitative research seminars in schools of education. This would be, it think, its only audience-though it is a big one. Many want a volume that draws together the more practical with the more conceptual aspects of research."

Sari Biklen, Professor, Syracuse University

I highly recommend this book for publication. I think it approaches the topic with all the complexity it needs to have, and has an innovative approach that encourages the writing of memos with the learning of the important issues. My only reservation is that it should be connected to the doing of fieldwork while students engage these issues. Also, some reference to data analysis is needed. Otherwise it's a splendid addition to an important field. I would look forward to using it. Kudos to the author for this terrific proposal.
