Traditionally, educational researchers have based their findings on strictly quantifiable data, usually obtained through the use of standardized tests, interview schedules, or surveys that have been designed by the researcher. Generally, there is an unwritten assumption that to be valid a research project must be as close as possible to being an experimental design. Most of us share this feeling (because of our training at the doctoral level) although we are aware that it is seldom that the real world will meet the criteria of an experimental research design. Even when very cleanly designed results are obtained, hypotheses tested, and the results stated, we sometimes have the feeling that the data is not giving us a full picture of what was going on in reality. In other words, the findings the educational researcher presents are often of absolutely no use to the educational practitioner. There is difficulty in bridging the gap between the real world of the classroom and the results that the well-trained, well-meaning evaluators could produce. Because of this, there is an increasing interest in research methodology that would deviate from the standard approach. One of the ways being proposed to bridge the gap between researchers, teachers, administrators, and policymakers is to try to get a fuller, more detailed, more human view of what is going
