In the next four chapters, the concepts are applied to the actual practices of design, fieldwork, data collection and data analysis. From there, it proceeds to write up findings. In the last chapter, it focuses on a special set of cases in qualitative research in education-applied research. In this chapter, evaluation, action and practitioner research have been discussed. It adds important Indian studies related to pedagogy, teacher education, and policy research; Indian connections and social survey movement, holistic ethnography and phenomenological analysis; designing qualitative studies and qualitative interviewing; methodological mixes and triangulation." --
