Educational Criticism and Connoisseurship

The goal of this chapter is to provide an explanation of qualitative inquiry through the lens of educational criticism and connoisseurship using a case study example. The writers provide a breakdown of educational criticism and connoisseurship with an explanation of how a researcher might use educational criticism and connoisseurship in data collection and communication of findings. Additionally, the chapter will provide options for data collection, management, analysis, and interpretation. The chapter will also include a list of published studies that exemplify qualitative inquiry, including case studies, ethnography, and phenomenology, using educational criticism.
