Routledge Handbook of Qualitative Methods for Researching Disability in Physical Education

Routledge Handbook of Qualitative Methods for Researching Disability in Physical Education

Description

This is the first book to introduce qualitative research methods in the study of disability and physical education. It outlines key concepts and theories in disability and physical education, providing a platform for understanding, before exploring the full range of methodologies and techniques for research, data gathering, and data representation. Written by a team of leading researchers from around the world, every chapter introduces a research theory, approach, method, or tool; provides a critical discussion about how that theory, approach method, or tool has been used or might be used; and offers signposts to future directions for research in that area.

This book explores established research methods and cutting‑edge methods that are being applied to disability and physical education for the first time, from narrative inquiry, ethnography, and action research, to creative nonfiction, sensory methods, and participatory approaches. This book places an emphasis on approaches that consider disabled children and young people as active (rather than passive) agents involved in data gathering, and on ways in which researchers and research participants can utilize data to best represent views toward, and experiences of, disability and physical education.

This is an essential reference volume for any advanced student, researcher, pre-service educator, in‑service educator, or coach with an interest in disability and physical education. [From the publisher]
