This book provides invaluable guidance for thinking through and planning
a qualitative study. Rather than offering recipes for specific
techniques, master storyteller Robert Stake stimulates readers to
discover "how things work" in organizations, programs, communities, and
other systems. Topics range from identifying a research question to
selecting methods, gathering data, interpreting and analyzing the
results, and producing a well-thought-through written report. In-depth
examples from actual studies emphasize the role of the researcher as
instrument and interpreter, while boxed vignettes and learning projects
encourage self-reflection and critical thinking. Other useful
pedagogical features include quick-reference tables and charts, sample
project management forms, and an end-of-book glossary. After reading
this book, doctoral students and novice qualitative researchers will be
able to plan a study from beginning to end.
