Qualitative research and the problem with ethnography

• Authors: Pinar, William F

Abstracts

W. Pinar defines qualitative understanding, situates it historically, and discusses its internal tensions (between the particular and the general), focusing on ethnography as his primary illustration. Focused on the particular but drawn to the general, ethnography (as practiced by educational researchers in North America) often dwells on the observable, and in so doing reiterates the obvious. Qualitative understanding is thereby eclipsed.
