learning by doing qualitative research can become a powerful process that is often described in vital metaphors
as qualitative researchers we become aware of ourselves as contingent, transactional, open to change as way of life
the process of qualitative research also become processes of professional growth

qualitative research is value laden work and ethical concerns are woven through every aspect of it.
