Rezensionen

From the book cover to the way she organizes and writes the chapters, Lichtman invites readers to join her on a journey to learn how qualitative research can address some of education's most pressing problems. Up-to-date, easy to read, and useful, this book has earned a permanent place on my bookshelf [...] the way Lichtman weaves in personal stories makes one feel like she is right there with you-your personal qualitative research 'guide on the side'.

I fully anticipate that future instructors and students will be able to work through this text and finish it with the ability to not only conceptualize and carry out a research study but be able to do so with confidence and a mindset that qualitative inquiry offers us an exciting journey for understanding phenomena which impact us as well as our world. In summary, I have no doubt that students and teachers as well as those who simply want to get some fresh insights into will find this latest edition to be well-worth reading. I know that I continue to draw new insights from it and give it my highest recommendation.

Lichtman displays a unique understanding of the importance of qualitative research in our examination of 21st-century education. Those of us in the academy should celebrate her books as periodic reminders of that importance. In addition, her Qualitative Research in Education (2023, Fourth Edition) is an excellent how-to text for all who practice qualitative research. This book should be on the shelf of every practitioner, both those new to the field as well as those of us who need a refresher course on why we do this work.
