Böcker av Sharon M. Ravitch

Offers an incisive guide to practitioner-led qualitative research. The authors make the case for ""local knowledge generation"" - inquiry-based, school-level research that can contextualize quantitative data, enrich insight, and guide leaders in making more effective decisions leading to sustainable organizational change.

Focused on developing the theoretical, methodological, and conceptual knowledge needed to engage in rigorous, valid, and respectful qualitative research, this introductory text presents the field of qualitative research in a unique and meaningful way.

With new coverage of how conceptual frameworks are conceptualized and developed and of a student's perspective on the role of conceptual frameworks, this book presents conceptual frameworks as a mechanism - process and product.
