Doing qualitative research: circles within circles / Margot Ely...[et.al.,] - India Routledge Publications 1991 - 243 p.

Doing Qualitative Research explores the experiences of becoming and continuing to develop as qualitative researcher. It grows out of the very research process it explains, exemplifies and provides guidance for. Specifically, it integrates a focus on understanding both the cognitive processes involved in engaging the methods of qualitative research and the effective "feel" engendered by these same procedures entering, observing, interviewing, analyzing, reporting and reflecting. The premise is that this cognitive/ effective mesh is an essential qualitative research reality and, as such, must be highlighted, better understood and harnessed.
