Qualitative Analysis
Qualitative methodologies are used in education research designs
frequently; both as standalone designs and as complements to
quantitative methodologies. The parent discipline of qualitative
analysis is Sociology. Anthropology, Social Work, and
Psychology all use qualitative methodologies. The resources listed below
are just the beginning of this page, more will be added when resources
are added to the Alexander book collection and when resources are
discovered.
RU Libraries = Available at the specified Rutgers University Library
RU Libraries-Specific = Available to Rutgers students, faculty, and staff.
