In spite of the fact that all learning institutions offering post-graduate studies have policies and procedures for the conduct of academic research, students often find it difficult to figure out how the elements of the qualitative research report fit together. This book explains most, if not all, the intricacies of writing a qualitative research report on master’s and doctoral level. The following topics are discussed and explained:

• The Foundation of Qualitative Research.
• The Research Proposal.
• Planning a Research Report.
• The Research Paradigms.
• The Elements of Qualitative Research – Ontology, Epistemology and Methodology.
• Qualitative Data Collection.
• Data Analysis.
• Reviewing the Research Report.
