Description: In the current results-driven educational climate, where students are conceptualized in terms of scores and numbers, is there a role for qualitative research? This book brings together an international collection of prominent qualitative research scholars to answer this question with a resounding yes. Noted early childhood expert J. Amos Hatch suggests that the best argument for the relevance of qualitative methods is the new generation of high quality qualitative work. The articles and studies he includes in this book represent some of the best work being done in early childhood qualitative research today.
