summary
The rising use of qualitative research over the last decades and the integration of qualitative research methods into the curricula of various university programs have made the method of semi-structured interviews very popular, presumably due to its apparent simplicity and accessibility. However, when conducting a semi-structured interview, just like in other qualitative research methods and techniques, certain requirements must be met.
The opening section of the book explains the basic methodological issues in sociological research, describes the interview method, and focuses in detail on the semi-structured interview technique. In particular, it covers its basic principles, preparation, conduct, and use.
The semi-structured interview method is discussed in the context of qualitative research. In six chapters, the author provides a detailed analysis of the individual research stages, supporting each of them by numerous practical examples. The book guides the reader step by step through the process, from the preparation of a qualitative research project to the presentation of its findings. The book focuses on the procedures used in qualitative data analysis, including grounded theory. Ethical issues and qualitative parameters of this type of research are also addressed.
The book is intended for anyone interested in using semi-structured interviews, be it when preparing a final thesis or for scientific research purposes.
