Drawing on more than 40 years of experience conducting applied social
science research and program evaluation, author Michael Quinn Patton
has crafted the most comprehensive and systematic book on qualitative
research and evaluation methods, inquiry frameworks, and analysis
options available today. Now offering more balance between applied
research and evaluation, this Fourth Edition illuminates all aspects
of qualitative inquiry through new examples, stories, and cartoons;
more than a hundred new summarizing and synthesizing exhibits; and a
wide range of new highlight sections/sidebars that elaborate on
important and emergent issues. For the first time, full case studies
are included to illustrate extended research and evaluation examples.
In addition, each chapter features an extended "rumination," written
in a voice and style more emphatic and engaging than traditional
textbook style, about a core issue of persistent debate and
controversy.
