The process of analyzing qualitative data and producing a complete study is discussed in this book. Breaking down the transformation process into description, analysis and interpretation, Harry Wolcott discusses these three related activities. To illustrate them, he critically analyzes his own work, using nine of his previous studies as examples. He concludes by examining how to learn and teach qualitative research using these principles.

Brilliant work and inspiring,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Transforming Qualitative Data: Description, Analysis, and Interpretation (Paperback)
A classic of the genre, makes the case for seeing data through the lens of good writing and a good story. Controversial in that he dismisses concerns about validity or generalizability ... which is okay with me. If you're in the middle of a long research slog, this will inspire you to good, fascinated work.
