In the Fifth Edition of the bestselling text Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches John W. Creswell and Cheryl N. Poth guide researchers in exploring, evaluating, and applying five qualitative research approaches: narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study. For each of the five qualitative inquiry traditions, the authors explore the philosophical underpinnings, history, defining features, common data procedures and writing structures. The book introduces the philosophical and interpretive frameworks that shape qualitative research, embedding essential discussions about ethical considerations throughout, so that readers get a holistic picture of qualitative research. In one chapter, a single study illustrates applying each of the five approaches to the same research problem. The authors compare approaches across the qualitative research process in a highly accessible manner that shows readers the many options for conducting research. Featuring comprehensive content, new articles, revamped exercises, updated references, and following the 7th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association throughout, the Fifth Edition is an ideal introduction to the theories, strategies, and practices of qualitative inquiry.

Industry Reviews
"Creswell & Poth's text is clear, comprehensive, and compelling. The students loved this text." -- Michael Kearns "After almost 6 years of teaching this class using this book, I have yet to find a student who does not like it. This is unusual in textbooks, and it shows me that the writing is clear, yet at a level of complexity that matches my students' needs. My students consider this a kind of 'formula' book, where they can follow the examples and conduct their own study with some guidance from me. I respect what Dr. Creswell has attempted to do for instructors and students, and I appreciate the approaches he takes (both methodologically and text-wise!)." -- Randy Larkins "The writing is clear and to the point. The use of jargon is minimal. Focusing on five different types of research designs is a friendly way to introduce this topic to students interested in qualitative research." -- Alejandro Morales "The vivid and extended examples of the different approaches to research that is a theme throughout the entire book is a huge strength. Those examples really help learning. In addition, the charts and tables which help the reader make distinctions among the approaches are helpful." -- Tessa Milman
