Early Childhood Qualitative Research by J Amos Hatch

Early Childhood Qualitative Research by J Amos Hatch

How can qualitative researchers make the case for the value of their work in a climate that emphasizes so-called scientifically-based research? What is the future of qualitative research when such approaches do not meet the narrow criteria being raised as the standard? In this timely collection, editor J. Amos Hatch and contributors argue that the best argument for the efficacy of qualitative studies in early childhood is the new generation of high quality qualitative work. This collection brings together studies and essays that represent the best work being done in early childhood qualitative studies, descriptions of a variety of research methods, and discussions of important issues related to doing early childhood qualitative research in the early 21st century. Taking a unique re-conceptualist point of view, the collection includes materials spanning the full range of early childhood settings and provides cutting edge views by leading educators of new methods and perspectives.

Amos Hatch is Professor of Theory and Practice in Teacher Education at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
