Sinopsis

Qualitative Research: Concepts, Context, and Methods is a concise guide to understanding the philosophy and practice of qualitative inquiry. It presents research design as the blueprint that links questions, methods, and analysis. The book explains that qualitative research seeks to explore meanings and human experiences rather than measure variables, emphasizing ethics, reflexivity, and context. It discusses philosophical bases-ontology, epistemology, and axiology-and paradigms like interpretivism, constructivism, and critical theory. Major designs such as phenomenology, ethnography, grounded theory, case study, and action research are explained with their purposes and methods. Core data collection techniques include interviews, focus groups, observation, and document analysis. The book outlines thematic and content analysis as key tools for interpreting data and highlights credibility, dependability, and confirmability as measures of trustworthiness. Ethical responsibility, transparency, and clear reporting are emphasized. Overall, it blends theory with application, showing that qualitative research is both a scientific and moral practice aimed at understanding people in context.
