Qualitative research has never been a popular research design within the Malaysian academic and research environment. Understanding the conventions and ' fundamentals of conducting qualitative research is important as it offers a different approach and generates a range of information of different quality from the quantitative approach. The compilation of the five articles included in this book has been carefully selected so that this book of reading represents different issues and problems that may arise when conducting qualitative research. This book provides a good description of the research processes and issues that may also be encountered by other researchers, especially those who are novices in qualitative research. The readings of the different research projects compiled in this book will hopefully contribute to the growing field of qualitative research as a research design among educators, researchers, and professionals in Malaysia
