John W Creswell relates research designs to each of the traditions of inquiry and compares each of the research strategies for theoretical frameworks, writing introduction to studies, collecting data, analyzing data, writing the narrative, and employing standards of quality and verifying results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Guide for PhD Students in Qualitative Research

P.K. · July 9, 2024

"Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches" by John W. Creswell has been an indispensable resource for my PhD program. This book provides a comprehensive and clear overview of five key qualitative research approaches: narrative, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study.Creswell’s detailed explanations and comparative analysis of each approach make it easy to understand their unique characteristics and when to use them. The book also includes practical examples and case studies that illustrate how to apply these methodologies in real research projects.What I appreciate most is Creswell's balanced presentation, which helps students like me make informed decisions about which approach best suits our research questions and goals. The book also offers valuable insights into data collection, analysis, and interpretation, making it a complete guide for qualitative research.For any PhD student involved in qualitative research, "Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design" is a must-have. It has greatly enhanced my understanding and application of qualitative methods, and I highly recommend it to anyone pursuing in-depth qualitative research.

J.H. · April 22, 2024

This is a required book in my graduate studies. But, it would be an extremely useful resource book for management consultants. It is theory-based but easy to read. The intent of the book is to assist researchers in their qualitative research efforts. BUT ... I find it directly applicable to commercial consulting work such as with process improvement, strategy ideation, and solving problems with groups of people. If you are buying this as a student - get a new copy so you can write your own notes in the margin.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good first book for researchers interested in learning about qualitative research

V. · July 3, 2017

I was looking for a good introduction to approaches to qualitative research and this book did a great job of providing it. It talks about philosophy assumptions and interpretative framework before getting into the the approaches. This provides more context for the approaches and when and where they should be applied. The book uses a comparative presentation style -- always comparing the five approaches. This really helps appreciate the similarities and differences of approaches. In fact, it helps appreciate the subtle differences between the approaches. As I was interested in grounded theory, I skimmed over other approaches when they started to go into examples.One of my gripes with the book was the citations. I am used to simple numerical citations. On Kindle apps, at times, the author-year style citations took up half the column and this affected the flow of reading. The other was more of an annoyance due to lack of more details about coding which seems to be a common data analysis task across all approaches. Then again, an overview book can only do so much.BTW, half of the book is appendix containing exemplar articles for each approach. Could have the publishers omitted the appendix and charged us half the price? :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for Novice Qual Researchers

D.C. · August 30, 2020

This book is a must-have for inexperienced qualitative researchers. Although I knew I wanted to do a qualitative dissertation, I was unsure of the specific design. This book helped me not only with selecting phenomenology but also the specific type of phenomenology that was appropriate for my research purpose. I frequently referred to this book while writing Ch. 1, 2, and 3, and I can imagine that I will use it for the remaining chapters. An awesome resource for your qualitative research toolkit.

I had to get this for a grad course and ended up buying it instead of renting. I have used it with my class and with thesis research. This book is so well worded that the common dummy like myself who is trying to become an uncommon smartie can understand everything without having to look it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT TEXT!

A.C. · March 4, 2017

Excellent text book! This one far exceeds other Qualitative Research texts I've reviewed. Creswell masterfully demystifies Qual research so that novice researchers and students can design and conduct actual research studies, using his easy-to-follow scripts and examples. I highly recommend this one!

質的研究と哲学と自分との関係を理解する手助けに

売. · August 13, 2003

現象学だのエスノグラフィーだのグラウンデッドだの、ケーススタディだの、生活史だの。どこがどう違うのかこんがらかってわからない人には最善の書。英語もわかりやすくありがたい。そもそも一気に網羅的に5つの流派を眺め、違いは何なのかを検討できる本はなかなかない。そこがこの本、研究手法を比較する目的で書かれているからたまらない。どうやって研究すれば良いの書けば良いのと迷える子羊さんにお勧め。日本人の回避しがちな哲学的立場との関係にも触れてくれていて好感がもてる。ただ、難点は、現象学は古典的な現象学、グラウンデッドはStraussとCorbinに限定されているところ。修士課程の学生におすすめ、ケアリングの研究も紹介されているから看護の博士課程の学生には必読でしょう。
