Full Description
This book is a step-by-step guide to designing and realizing a constructivist critical incident (Constructivist CIT) study. This qualitative methodology explores critical moments in people's lived experiences.
The authors offer the first comprehensive overview of Constructivist CIT, a structured, yet flexible methodology used to explore lived experience and improve practice and process by studying critical or meaningful moments and experiences.
The authors introduce Constructivist CIT in relation to its well-established parent method Critical Incident Technique, which has been used widely in the social sciences, health care, and business. Readers will learn how to ensure the trustworthiness of their study amp rsquo s design, collect and analyze the data, and write up and submit their study for publication.
An intuitive method, Constructivist CIT is an accessible method for novice researchers as well as seasoned scholars expanding their qualitative repertoire.
