Brendan Gough

Lucy Yardley
University of Southampton
′Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke present a clear and comprehensive road map for executing a successful qualitative study.

Guy Faulkner

′This practical guide refreshingly demystifies the qualitative research process, relentlessly pushing an agenda for uncomplicated but high standards across the board and generously enabling anyone, no matter how inexperienced, to get on with it and do it well. It is the kind of guide that not only says how to do it but that actually shows how to do it, with a myriad of real, reproduced examples, extremely useful tables, boxes, chapter summaries, questions for discussion, exercises and lists of resources including references to a companion website with even more guidance and examples.′ -- Edith Steffen Published On: 2013-11-18

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pratical Guide
This book is definitely a pratical guide for beginners. The vocabulary makes it easy to read and comprehend. The information that I really enjoyed was about the differences in how validity is determined between qualitative research and quantitative research. The book is about qualitiatve research, however it does discuss how quantitative research data analysis methods are not appropriate for qualitative research. There is also a helpful glossary.

Ein großartiges Buch!
Zu Beginn meiner empirischen Dissertation stand ich vor der Frage, wie ich genau qualitativ forschen kann, wie ich in diesem komplexen Prozess beginnen kann und wie es weitergehen soll. Zufällig bin ich in der Uni Bibliothek auf dieses tolle Buch gestoßen, das mich besonders am Anfang des Forschungsprozesses, aber dann immer wieder zwischendurch auch noch über Monate und Jahre hinweg begleitet hat.Die beiden Autorinnen nehmen einen beim Lesen wirklich 'an die Hand', legen zunächst theoretische essentielle Grundlagen für qualitative Sozialforschung und zeigen dann praxisnah und hilfreich auf, wie genau nun qualitative Forschung geschehen kann: Von 'planning and designing qualitative research' über 'sucessfully collecting qualitative data' bis hin zu 'successfully analysing qualitative data' und 'successfully completing qualitative research' werden alle wichtigen methodischen Schritte von Anfang bis Ende besprochen. Wirklich hilfreich sind dabei sowohl der tolle sprachliche (und auch als Nicht-Muttersprachler sehr gut verständliche) Stil, der das qualitative Forschen sehr informativ und gleichzeitig spannend, leicht und amüsant herüber bringt. Eine große Praxisnähe entsteht dadurch, dass die beiden Autorinnen für das Buch ein eigenes Research Project durchgeführt haben, von dem sie immer wieder berichten und hierüber praxisnah zeigen, wie qualitatives Forschen konkret geschehen kann. Auch das Layout des Buches hält immer wieder informative und übersichtliche Tabellen, zusammenfassende Kästen, Listen etc. bereit und auf der Website des Verlages sind zahlreiche weitere Inhalte (etwa umfangreiche Literaturhinweise, aber auch längere Transkripte und anderes Anschauungsmaterial) einsehbar.Insgesamt hat mir dieses Buch wirklich den Weg hinein in die qualitative Forschung eröffnet, durch den Schreibstil der Autorinnen fast auf eine persönliche und begleitende Art. Das Buch stellt die (im anglo-amerikanischen Raum) gängigen methodischen Richtungen qualitativer Forschung intensiv vor und bereitet somit eine gute Grundlage, sich anschließend nach der Entscheidung für eine dieser Richtungen hier genauer einzulesen. Eine von den Autorinnen entwickelte Forschungsmethode, die Thematic Analysis (vergleichbar der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse, eine methodologisch sehr offene und somit für viele Anliegen gut geeignete Methode), wird noch etwas ausführlicher vorgestellt, sodass hierfür im Prinzip kein weiteres Methodenbuch nötig ist.Insgesamt kann ich dieses Buch sowohl Neulingen in der qualitativen Forschung, aber auch allen Lehrenden oder Menschen, die auf der Suche nach einer grundlegenden und praxisnahen Einführung in die qualitative Forschung sind, wärmstens empfehlen!
A Very Useful Guide for Beginners in Qualitative Research
This book is an excellent resource for anyone new to qualitative research. It breaks down complex concepts into clear, manageable explanations without oversimplifying the subject. The tone is approachable, and the examples are practical and easy to relate to — perfect for students or anyone just starting out in the field.What makes it stand out is how well it balances theory with application. It covers essential topics like research design, data collection methods (like interviews and focus groups), coding, and analysis — all presented in a way that builds confidence in the reader.Whether you're writing your first research proposal or just trying to understand how qualitative methods work, this book is very useful and easy to follow. Highly recommended as a foundational text.
A good one for the collection.
Nice accessible guide to qualitative research. More focused on the practicalities
