Approaches to Qualitative Research

Bol

In this new paperback collection of writing from The Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research in American Music Education, scholars examine the characteristics of qualitative research from historical, philosophical, and theoretical perspectives. In this newly updated collection, a diverse roster of scholars place qualitative research in music education into its historical context, while providing readers with epistemological foundations and theoretical frameworks that can be applied to a range of teaching and learning contexts. Ethnography, phenomenology, case study, narrative, and practitioner inquiry are explored, as well as the emergence of mixed methods research in music education, rounding out a comprehensive overview of these qualitative research practices. Filled with cogent and practical insights from wide-ranging theoretical discourses, Approaches to Qualitative Research is a go-to guidebook for beginning research students and advanced practitioners alike. Approaches to Qualitative Research is the first of three paperback volumes derived from the original Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research in American Music Education, which outlines the history of qualitative research in music education and explores the contemporary use of qualitative approaches in examining issues related to music teaching and learning.
