Abstract
I address some of the issues connected with the elusive concept of quality, especially in the process of qualitative inquiry. I do so by contrasting the relatively simple term “qualities” (or characteristics) with the more contentious idea of quality. I begin by considering aspects of psychogeography (assuming it to be one form of qualitative inquiry) and then by concentrating on the concept of quality itself in autoethnography, specifically as well as in higher education in general.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
