Qualitative Inquiry in Clinical and Educational Settings

This highly readable text demystifies the qualitative research process—and helps readers conceptualize their own studies—by organizing the different research paradigms and traditions into coherent clusters. Real-world examples and firsthand perspectives illustrate the research process; instructive exercises and activities build on each other so readers can develop their own proposals or reports as they work through the book. Provided are strategies for selecting a research topic, entering and exiting sites, and navigating the complexities of ethical issues and the researcher's role. Readers learn how to use a range of data collection methods—including observational strategies, interviewing, focus groups, e-mail and chat rooms, and arts-based media—and to manage, analyze, and report the resulting data. Useful pedagogical features include:*In-class and field activities to apply qualitative concepts.*Discussion questions, proposal development exercises, and reflexive journal activities.*Exemplary qualitative studies and two sample proposals.*Cautionary notes, or "Wild Cards," about possible research pitfalls.*Tables that summarize concepts and present helpful tips.

Avoid saying you are studying a “serious” issue, for example. 4. Identify the section within the journal that your qualitative manuscript would fall under—often a research section. 5. Refer to your research ethics.

The Role of Customary Law in Sustainable Development

For many nations, a key challenge is how to achieve sustainable development without a return to centralized planning. Using case studies from Greenland, Hawaii and northern Norway, this 2006 book examines whether 'bottom-up' systems such as customary law can play a critical role in achieving viable systems for managing natural resources. Customary law consists of underlying social norms that may become the acknowledged law of the land. The key to determining whether a custom constitutes customary law is whether the public acts as if the observance of the custom is legally obligated. While the use of customary law does not always produce sustainability, the study of customary methods of resource management can produce valuable insights into methods of managing resources in a sustainable way.

Manajemen Konflik

Manajemen konflik merupakan serangkaian aksi dan reaksi antara pelaku maupun pihak luar dalam suatu konflik. Manajemen konflik termasuk pada suatu pendekatan yang berorientasi pada proses yang mengarahkan pada bentuk komunikasi (termasuk tingkah laku) dari pelaku maupun pihak luar dan bagaimana mereka mempengaruhi kepentingan (interests) dan intrepretasi. Bagi pihak luar (di luar yang berkonflik) sebagai pihak ketiga, yang diperlukannya adalah informasi yang akurat tentang situasi konflik. Hal ini karena komunikasi efektif antara pelaku dapat terjadi jika ada kepercayaan terhadap pihak ketiga. Manajemen konflik merupakan langkah-langkah yang diambil para pelaku atau pihak ketiga dalam rangka mengarahkan perselisihan kearah hasil tertentu yang mungkin atau tidak mungkin menghasilkan ketenangan, hal positif, kreatif, bermufakat, atau agresif. Manajemen konflik dapat melibatkan bantuan diri sendiri, kerja sama dalam memecahkan masalah (dengan atau tanpa bantuan pihak ketiga) atau pengambilan keputusan oleh pihak ketiga.

Quantitative Data Analysis

A Companion for Accounting and Information Systems Research

This book offers postgraduate and early career researchers in accounting and information systems a guide to choosing, executing and reporting appropriate data analysis methods to answer their research questions. It provides readers with a basic understanding of the steps that each method involves, and of the facets of the analysis that require special attention. Rather than presenting an exhaustive overview of the methods or explaining them in detail, the book serves as a starting point for developing data analysis skills: it provides hands-on guidelines for conducting the most common analyses and reporting results, and includes pointers to more extensive resources. Comprehensive yet succinct, the book is brief and written in a language that everyone can understand - from students to those employed by organizations wanting to study the context in which they work. It also serves as a refresher for researchers who have learned data analysis techniques previously but who need a reminder for the specific study they are involved in.
