  naturalistic inquiry in qualitative research: Naturalistic Inquiry Yvonna S. Lincoln, Egon G. Guba, 1985-04 Showing how science is limited by its dominant mode of investigation, Lincoln and Guba propose an alternative paradigm--a naturalistic rather than rationalistic method of inquiry--in which the investigator avoids manipulating research outcomes. A paradigm shift is under way in many fields, they contend, and go on to describe the different assumptions of the two approaches regarding the nature of reality, subject-object interaction, the possibility of generalization, the concept of causality, and the role of values. The authors also offer guidance for research in the field (where, they say, naturalistic inquiry always takes place). Useful tips are given, for example, on designing a study as it unfolds, establishing trustworthiness, and writing a case report. This book helps researchers both to understand and to do naturalistic inquiry. Of particular interest to educational researchers, it is valuable for all social scientists involved with questions of qualitative and quantitative methodology.
  naturalistic inquiry in qualitative research: Doing Naturalistic Inquiry David A. Erlandson, Edward L. Harris, Barbara L. Skipper, Steve D. Allen, 1993-07-07 While much has been written on alternative paradigm research, there is little concrete advice on how to effectively use the theoretical notions of naturalistic inquiry in practice. Doing Naturalistic Inquiry is the practical guide designed to help beginning researchers apply the constructivist paradigm. Based upon the theoretical work of Lincoln and Guba in developing the naturalistic—or constructivist--paradigm, Erlandson and his colleagues show readers how these ideas shape the practice of conducting alternative paradigm research. The book covers the research process from design through data collection analysis and presentation and examines important issues generally minimized in positivist research texts ethics, trustworthiness, and authenticity. Cases from a wide variety of disciplines demonstrate the efficacy of the methods described. Doing Naturalistic Inquiry is a highly useful teaching tool for anyone using a constructivist lens on research.

  naturalistic inquiry in qualitative research: Status Passage Anselm L. Strauss, 2017-07-05 The French writer Arnold van Gennep first called attention to the phenomena of status passages in his Rites of Passage one hundred years ago. In Status Passage, first published in 1971, the movement of individuals and groups in contemporary society from one status to another is examined in the light of Gennep's original theory. Glaser and Strauss demonstrate that society emerges as a comparative order. In this order, every organized action, collective or individual, can be seen as a form of status passage.From one status to another-from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, from being single to being married, movement from one income group, social class or religion to another-there are passages that entail movement into different parts of a social structure and loss or gain in privileges. Types of status passage are described by their proper ties. The authors present a formal theory of status passage in the form of a running theoretical discussion.The concepts and categories discussed in Status Passage are illuminated by a large number of examples chosen from a wide range of human behavior, and the applicability of the theory to still other examples is made apparent. The result is a stimulating and provocative book that will interest a wide range of sociologists, social psychologists, and other social scientists, and will be useful in a variety of courses.
