| Summary, etc. |
A discussion on including qualitative research methods in the public administration curriculum led to the development of this symposium. Qualitative research goes beyond "non-quantitative" to consider interpretive, non-positivistic and post-modern research. Submitted manuscripts reflect the wide variation in what qualitative methods are and how they are practiced in the study of public administration. This symposium embraces different forms of qualitative research - case studies approached from an "objectivist" perspective, interpretive experiences, action research, and nonpositivistic, post-modern narrative analysis. Each author included detail about the methodology, in line with prescriptions to judge research quality with information on the process of research. Left for future considerations are such issues as the standards to be applied to such studies and how these research processes are best taught, learned and practiced. - Reproduced |
