商品簡介
This compilation of vocabulary used in qualitative research is intended to facilitate communication with terms and concepts used in everyday practice, rather than assume the "mantle of authority" for their definitions or etymological origins. Researcher Bloor (Centre for Drug Misuse, Glasgow U.) and medical sociologist Wood (general practice, Cardiff U.) thus introduce this meaning-in-use dictionary. Entries averaging three pages, from 'access negotiations' and 'action research' to 'video recording and analysis' and 'writing,' include a brief definition, distinctive features, examples, evaluation (e.g., of methodologies), cross-references to associated concepts, and key readings.
