Constructing Grounded Theory : a Practical Guide Through Qualitative Analysis

^TOP

Author:   

Kathy Charmaz

Call No: 

H61.24 C45

"Grounded Theory is essential reading for students, new researchers and seasoned social scientists alike. Indeed, Charmaz's book is one of those rare things, a textbook that is both accessible to those new to the field but also one that has important things to say about the nature of social inquiry itself."

Authors:     Jack Whitehead and Jean McNiff

 "This is a brilliantly-written, passionate, and compelling book that defines the philosophy behind action research and the processes of doing action research for all those interested in this fast growing area.  It sets in place the foundations of a living theory approach to action research as a discipline of educational enquiry, and roots action research as a compassionate, ethical and politically-engaged form of life."
 
Title:  Leading a Successful Reading Program : Administrators and Reading Specialists Working Together To Make It Happen ^TOP
Authors:     Nancy DeVries Guth, Stephanie Stephens Pettengill
Call No:  LB1050.5 G865
 "Many literacy educators need help establishing a school-based literacy program but do not know where to start or whom to include in the process.  With practical examples from a successful literacy program in action, this book describes a model that administrators and reading specialists can use to develop their own programs, based on the guidelines in the International Reading Association position statement Teaching All Children to Read : The Roles of the Reading Specialist (2000)."

Title:  Making Learning Happen : a Guide for Post-Compulsory Education ^TOP
Author:    Phil Race
Call No:  LB2331 R272
 "Making Learning Happen offers an accessible and practical discussion of teaching and learning for the post-compulsory sector in higher and further education.

Central to the book is the author's well-known 'ripples on a pond' model of learning, which identifies five fundamental factors underpinning successful earning:

  • wanting to learn
  • needing to learn
  • learning by doing
  • feedback
  • digesting - making sense of what has been learned.

The book encourages teachers and learners to address these factors head-on in a wide range of contexts, including large-group teaching, small-group work, online learning, and through formative feedback. A self-analysis questionnaire is featured, enabling learners to reflect on how these factors contribute to their own approaches to learning."

 
Title:  An Introduction to Conversation Analysis ^TOP
Editor:     Anthony J. Liddicoat
Call No:  P95.45 L53
 "This introduction is designed to give an overview of conversation analysis.  It begins by locating conversation analysis as a methodology among other methodologies, and describing conversation analysis as a body of knowledge revealing the ways in which language works in communication. The chapters introduce every aspect of conversation analysis in a logical, step-by-step examination, including coverage of transcription, turn-taking, sequence organization, repair, and storytelling."
