Summary:

Novice and early career researchers often have difficulty withunderstanding how theory, data analysis and interpretation of findings "hangtogether" in a well-designed and theorized qualitative research investigationand with learning how to draw on such understanding to conduct rigorous dataanalysis and interpretation of their analytic results. Data Analysis,Interpretation, and Theory in Literacy Studies Research demonstrates how todesign, conduct and analyze a well put together qualitative research project.Using their own successful studies, chapter authors spell out a problem area,research question, and theoretical framing, carefully explaining their choicesand decisions. They then show in detail how they analyzed their data, and whythey took this approach. Finally, they demonstrate how they interpreted theresults of their analysis, to make them meaningful in research terms. Approaches include interactional sociolinguistics, microethnographic discourse analysis, multimodal analysis, iterative coding, conversation analysis, and multimediated discourse analysis, among others. This book will appeal to beginning researchers and to literacy researchers responsible for teaching qualitative literacy studies research design at undergraduate and graduate levels.
