Pädagogisch arbeiten in traumatischen Prozessen: Geflüchtete Kinder und Jugendliche in der Schule (Kritische Sozialpsychologie)
by Christoph MüllerDas Buch ist eine kritische und systematische Auseinandersetzung mit den schulpädagogisch sowie gesellschaftspolitisch hochaktuellen Themen Flucht und Trauma.Geflüchtete Kinder und Jugendliche befinden sich häufig in einem sequenziell traumatischen Prozess, zu dem neben den fluchtauslösenden Bedingungen und der Flucht selbst auch die Lebensbedingungen im Aufnahmeland gehören.Im Zentrum dieser Studie stehen die Fragen, wie sich die emotionalen Belastungen und potenziellen Traumatisierungen geflüchteter Schüler*innen in der Schule zeigen, wie sie sich im Erleben und Handeln der Lehrkräfte widerspiegeln und welche pädagogischen Konsequenzen sich daraus ergeben.Um dem nachzugehen, was es für die Lehrkräfte bedeutet, inmitten der traumatischen Prozesse der geflüchteten Schüler*innen pädagogisch zu arbeiten, wurden u.a. themenzentrierte Tiefeninterviews mit Lehrkräften geführt und tiefenhermeneutisch ausgewertet.Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen der Studie werden Konsequenzen für die pädagogische Praxis, die Professionalisierung von Lehrkräften und hinsichtlich eines strukturellen Handlungsbedarfs gezogen.
Pädagogische Anthropologie der Technik: Praktiken, Gegenstände und Lebensformen
by Johannes Bilstein Jörg Zirfas Matthias WinzenDer Band geht der Frage nach, welche spezifisch edukativen Techniken angesichts der zunehmenden Etablierung und Professionalisierung der pädagogischen Arbeitsfelder erforderlich werden. In diesem Zusammenhang wird zu klären versucht, welche pädagogische und didaktische Vorbereitung auf eine zunehmend technisch orientierte Welt erfolgen muss. Zudem werden die alltäglichen Techniken der Selbstsorge analysiert. Und schließlich geht es in einer Pädagogischen Anthropologie auch um die Frage, wer Subjekt und Objekt der Technik ist.
Pädagogische Institutionen des Jugendalters in der Krise (Studien zur Kindheits- und Jugendforschung #8)
by Cathleen Grunert Wolfgang Schröer Tobias Franzheld Nicolle Pfaff Karin Bock Anja Schierbaum Katja LudwigDer Band stellt die Frage nach den Konstitutionsbedingungen von pädagogischen Institutionen als zentrale Mechanismen der (formalen) Durchsetzung der Jugendphase ins Zentrum. Dabei rücken Momente des Auseinanderdriftens von (sozial-)pädagogischen Institutionalisierungen und sich wandelnden Praktiken von Jugend in den Fokus und es wird ausgelotet, wann und in welcher Form sich darin Krisen von Institutionen des Jugendalters abzeichnen und diese dazu herausfordern, sich neu zu positionieren. Ziel ist es, die Institutionenperspektive innerhalb der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Jugendforschung zu schärfen und mit ihr diagnostizierte Krisen offenzulegen, sodass sowohl ‚die‘ Jugend und ihre krisenhaften Institutionen als auch die Krise der Institutionen und (ihre) Jugend klarer konturiert werden (können).

QCA with R: A Comprehensive Resource
by Adrian DuşaThis book is a comprehensive guide to qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) using R. Using Boolean algebra to implement principles of comparison used by scholars engaged in the qualitative study of macro social phenomena, QCA acts as a bridge between the quantitative and the qualitative traditions. The QCA package for R, created by the author, facilitates QCA within a graphical user interface. This book provides the most current information on the latest version of the QCA package, which combines written commands with a cross-platform interface. Beginning with a brief introduction to the concept of QCA, this book moves from theory to calibration, from analysis to factorization, and hits on all the key areas of QCA in between. Chapters one through three are introductory, familiarizing the reader with R, the QCA package, and elementary set theory. The next few chapters introduce important applications of the package beginning with calibration, analysis of necessity, analysis of sufficiency, parameters of fit, negation and factorization, and the construction of Venn diagrams. The book concludes with extensions to the classical package, including temporal applications and panel data. Providing a practical introduction to an increasingly important research tool for the social sciences, this book will be indispensable for students, scholars, and practitioners interested in conducting qualitative research in political science, sociology, business and management, and evaluation studies. <P><P><i>Advisory: Bookshare has learned that this book offers only partial accessibility.

Qatar and the 2022 FIFA World Cup: Politics, Controversy, Change
by Danyel Reiche Paul Michael BrannaganThis book offers the first, full academic analysis of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup. Adopting an international relations perspective, the authors critically interrogate the politics and controversy that has surrounded arguably the most controversial sports event ever. In doing so, this text offers up an imperative examination of Qatar’s desired objectives through their investment in global sport and sports events, as well as provides readers with an academic explanation on why major event hosts – such as Qatar – receive so much international scrutiny in the pre-event stage of the event hosting process. On the back of this international scrutiny, this text also provides the first full analysis on how such negative scrutiny has forced Qatar to implement various social-political changes at home.
Qualitative Analysis in the Making (Routledge Advances in Research Methods #11)
by Daniella Kuzmanovic Andreas BandakHow do scholars transform qualitative data into analysis? What does making analysis imply? What happens in the space in-between data and finalized analysis is notoriously difficult to talk about. In other parts of the research process, scholars and students are aided by method books that describe the technicalities of generating, processing and sorting through data, handbooks that teach academic writing, and scholarly works that offer meta-level, theoretical perspectives. Yet the path from qualitative data to analysis remains ‘a black box.’ Qualitative Analysis in the Making ventures into this black box. The volume provides a means of speaking about how analyses emerge in the Humanities. Contributors from disciplines such as anthropology, history, and sociology of religion all employ an analytical double take. They revisit one of their analyses, analyzing how this particular analysis came into being. Such analyses of an analysis are neither confessions nor step-by-step recounts of what happened. Rather, the volume argues that speaking of the space in-between requires analytical displacement, and the employment of fresh analytical takes. This approach contributes to demystifying the path from qualitative data to finalized analysis. It invites novel epistemological reflections among scholars, and assists students in improving their analytical skills.
Qualitative Analysis: Practice And Innovation
by Douglas EzzyOffering a detailed introduction to the practice of data analysis, this book is both user-friendly and theoretically grounded. Drawing on his extensive experience of qualitative research, Douglas Ezzy reviews approaches to data analysis in established research traditions including ethnography, phenomenology and symbolic interactionism, alongside the newer approaches informed by cultural studies and feminism. He explains the difference between inductive, deductive and abductive theory building, provides a guide to computer-assisted analysis and outlines techniques such as journal writing, team meetings and participant reviews.This text is one of the first to treat computer assisted data analysis as an integral part of qualitative research. Exceptionally well written, this is a valuable reference for research students and professional researchers in the social sciences and health.

Unmasking the persuasive appeal of populism, the book provides examples of qualitative approaches within social, cultural, and political psychology. It draws from established theoretical traditions such as social representations theory and social identity theory, as well as critical discursive approaches, to demonstrate how to study complex relational phenomena such as populism.With its novel inclusion of innovative qualitative methods for examining the social psychology of populism – providing a useful toolkit for qualitative research across various societal and political topics – this book will appeal to scholars, postgraduate students, and researchers studying social and political psychology, communication, qualitative research methods, and political behaviour more broadly.
Qualitative Comparative Analysis with R
by Adrian Dusa Alrik ThiemSocial science theory often builds on sets and their relations. Correlation-based methods of scientific enquiry, however, use linear algebra and are unsuited to analyzing set relations. The development of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) by Charles Ragin has given social scientists a formal tool for identifying set-theoretic connections based on Boolean algebra. As a result, interest in this method has markedly risen among social scientists in recent years. This book offers the first complete introduction on how to perform QCA in the R software environment for statistical computing and graphics with the QCA package. Developed as a comprehensive solution, QCA provides an unprecedented scope of functionality for analyzing crisp, multi-value and fuzzy sets. The reader is not required to have knowledge of R, but the book assumes an understanding of the fundamentals of QCA. Using examples from published work, the authors demonstrate how to make the most of QCA's wide-ranging capabilities for the reader's own purposes. Although mainly written for political scientists, this book is also of interest to scholars from other disciplines in the social sciences such as sociology, business, management, organization, anthropology, education and health.

Qualitative Literacy: A Guide to Evaluating Ethnographic and Interview Research
by Mario Luis Small Jessica McCrory CalarcoSuppose you were given two qualitative studies: one is a piece of empirically sound social science and the other, though interesting and beautifully written, is not. How would you tell the difference? Qualitative Literacy presents criteria to assess qualitative research methods such as in-depth interviewing and participant observation. Qualitative research is indispensable to the study of inequality, poverty, education, public health, immigration, the family, and criminal justice. Each of the hundreds of ethnographic and interview studies published yearly on these issues is scientifically either sound or unsound. This guide provides social scientists, researchers, students, evaluators, policy makers, and journalists with the tools needed to identify and evaluate quality in field research.
Qualitative Marketing Research: Understanding Consumer Behaviour
by Dominika MaisonThis is a perfect guide to understanding the core principles of qualitative marketing research. It presents qualitative marketing research in the broader context of marketing and managerial decisions, consumer psychology and contemporary knowledge about unconscious and automatic processes. Different types of qualitative marketing research methods are examined, from the classic focus group interview (FGI) and individual in-depth interview (IDI), to more cutting-edge methods such as ethnography or bulletin boards, which enable marketing researchers to discover and understand real consumer motivations, needs, values, and attitudes. With numerous international case studies, including PepsiCo, Unilever, Danone, Nestle, Aviva and Citibank, the book is uniquely practical in its approach. It is vital reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of marketing research, consumer behaviour and consumer psychology.

Qualitative Methods and Health Policy Research (Social Problems And Social Issues Ser.)
by Elizabeth MurphyQualitative researchers have traditionally been cautious about claiming that their work was scientific. The "right-on" schools have exaggerated this caution into an outright rejection of science as a model for their work. Science is, for them, outmoded; "an archaic form of consciousness surviving for a while yet in a degraded form" (Tyler 1986:200). Scientists' assertions that they are in pursuit of truth simply camouflage their own lust for power. There is no essential difference between truth and propaganda.The authors acknowledge that the boundary between science and propaganda has often been breached and some distrust of scientific claims may be healthy. They also question the claim that science creates disinterested and objective knowledge of an observer-independent world without concluding that science is impossible. The skeptics' reservations about qualitative research are based on the deep-rooted assumption among natural scientists, and some social scientists, that there is a world "out there," prior to, and independent of, their observations. This world can be known objectively in the sense that all observers will, if identically placed, see it in exactly the same way. If a suitable language were available, they would also all produce identical descriptions. From these observations they can work out the laws governing the world's operations. The authors try to resolve these contrary claims by asserting that science is a procedural commitment. It consists of openness to refutation, a conscientious and systematic search for contradictory evidence, and a readiness to subject one's preconceptions to critical examination. The devotion to truth as a regulative ideal is an essential difference between science and propaganda. This work is a unique and innovative defense of scientific method.
Qualitative Methods for Digital Social Research: Studies from the Global South
by Nimmi Rangaswamy Shriram VenkatramanThis volume offers a series of practical methods to study digital behaviours considering the socio-cultural realities of the global south. It includes methodologically rigorous applied research chapters from leading international researchers offering information on gold mines and blind spots in researching the digital in the global south. It develops a tri-sectional format based on distinct areas of research, geographical variability and diversity of methods and approaches. The first section focuses on Dissecting Research Fractures – which disrupts the established research ideologies and practices, user behaviors, theoretical perspectives, and field methods in the study of digital social research . The second section on Innovating Methods proposes and extends mixed methodologies that go beyond research boundaries to produce novel possibilities for study. The final section on Re-Imagining the Field breaks new ground in exploring the social-digital where a transient research field is contextualized and stabilized through the social, infrastructural, and digital interweaving. The book offers the reader an inside view of studying marginal yet emerging users and consumers of digital technologies. The three sections together purport to draw textual, graphical, temporal, and ethnographic insights via innovative and hybrid observational tools to record, annotate and formulate everyday experiences of digital life. The volume addresses scholars interested in hybridizing methods, early career researchers, and graduates working on connecting humans and digital technologies. It also holds considerable appeal for digital marketers and strategists, offering practically applicable methods to study digital life.
Qualitative Networks: Mixed methods in sociological research (Social Research Today)
by Elisa BellottiHow do we interact with people in our everyday life? Who are the people we are connected to? What are the consequences of overlapping social circles and how people deal with the potential emerging conflicts? What are the structural and cultural mechanisms that regulate social worlds? Network science is a scientific approach to the study of network dependencies and associations which tries to answer these and many other questions. This book explores the underlying mechanisms that regulate social life as they are produced, reproduced, modified, and abandoned in the spatial and temporal patterns of interactions. The mixed methods approach, that combines formal network analysis with qualitative materials and statistical tools, shows the importance of contextualising structural mechanisms in their social and cultural environment, and allows overcoming the traditional methodological boundaries that shape the field of social sciences.

Qualitative Research Methods in Sport, Exercise and Health: From Process to Product
by Andrew C. Sparkes Brett SmithQualitative forms of inquiry are a dynamic and exciting area within contemporary research in sport, exercise and health. Students and researchers at all levels are now expected to understand qualitative approaches and be able to employ them in their work. In this comprehensive and in-depth introductory text, Andrew C. Sparkes and Brett Smith take the reader on a journey through the entire qualitative research process that begins with the conceptualization of ideas and the planning of a study, moves through the phases of data collection and analysis, and then explains how findings might be represented in various ways to different audiences. Ethical issues are also explored in detail, as well as the ways that the goodness of qualitative research might be judged by its consumers. The book is based on the view that researchers need to make principled, informed and strategic decisions about what, why, when, and how to use qualitative forms of inquiry. The nature of qualitative research is explained in terms of both its core assumptions and what practitioners actually do in the field when they collect data and subject it to analysis. Each chapter is vividly illustrated with cases and examples from published research, to demonstrate different qualitative approaches in action and their relative strengths and weaknesses. The book also extends the boundaries of qualitative research by exploring innovative contemporary methodologies and novel ways to report research findings. Qualitative Research Methods in Sport, Exercise and Health is essential reading for any student, researcher or professional who wishes to understand this form of inquiry and to engage in a research project within a sport, exercise or health context.
