The Volume 20, Issue 4 of the New Trends in Qualitative Research (NTQR) presents a diverse collection of innovative qualitative studies, exploring key themes such as health, education, technology, governance, and social issues.
Notable investigations include research on patient safety in primary care, the impact of housing policies on institutional trust, and methodological challenges in qualitative research, such as the use of online focus groups. This issue also delves into sociocultural aspects, analysing the glass ceiling in Angolan organisations and the intersection between work, race, and ageing.
The relationship between technology and sustainability is examined through studies on local governance in Barcelona and the potential of Design-Based Research (DBR) for developing educational resources. In the health field, articles explore the impact of childhood cancer, oral health, and the challenges of caring for women with postnatal depression.
In education, the issue addresses active learning strategies in nursing, pedagogical objectives in dentistry, and the use of the go-along method to understand environmental practices in Indian schools.
The volume concludes with theoretical reflections on realist epistemology, mixed methods, and the development of rubrics to assess children’s oral expression.
