Modes of Thinking for Qualitative Data Analysis 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Modes of Thinking for Qualitative Data Analysis argues for engagement with the conceptual underpinnings of five prominent analytical strategies used by qualitative researchers: Categorical Thinking, Narrative Thinking, Dialectical Thinking, Poetical Thinking, and Diagrammatical Thinking. By presenting such disparate modes of research in the space of a single text, Freeman not only draws attention to the distinct methodological and theoretical contributions of each, she also establishes a platform for choosing among particular research strategies by virtue of their strengths and limitations. Experienced qualitative researchers, novices, and graduate students from many disciplines will gain new insight from the theory-practice relationship of analysis advanced in this text.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"We’ve long needed this book, a book which would take students and scholars alike through the complex process of doing qualitative analysis. Melissa Freeman’s Modes of Thinking for Qualitative Data Analysis meets these needs. Its creative, comparative focus on forms of thinking, from categorical, to narrative, dialectical, poetical, diagrammatical, opens new windows on how to interpret empirical material." – Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
"Melissa Freeman has developed a compelling typology for understanding qualitative work... Her work counters the standard classifications which connect methods with a particular methodology or tradition and leads to confusion. Instead, she argues persuasively, and with examples, that for a truly reflexive stance and a critical understanding of research, researchers must engage in "pentimento," or must see again, to understand essences and create innovative possibilities." - Lynn Butler-Kisber, McGill University

- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2024This book was wonderful. It has helped me redirect a lot of what I plan to present in my dissertation defense as it allows me to pinpoint how my thinking changes and evolves considering the different aspects of context I am discussing. Recommended to anyone coinsdering doing a QUAL study for their dissertation, and certainly as an excellent reference to qualitative researchers for various prspectives of what can be worked with.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2021If you are slightly interested in qualitative research, buy this book! I wish I would have had this book at the beginning of my journey. Dr. Freeman is a phenomenal writer who engages the reader.
