"Mastering the intricacies of doing qualitative research appears as a challenging task for most students. However, through clear and easy-to-follow guidelines, evidence-based exercises, interesting activities, and constant practice, this mastery can be achieved. This is the very reason behind the preparation of this textbook. Practical Research 1 is a comprehensive and user-friendly volume that aims to develop students' skills in doing qualitative research. It contains lessons that tap their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It also presents discussions and activities that encourage students to learn the key concepts and processes in qualitative research through different approaches. These are all evident in the framework used in this textbook, which features the following components:

Objectives This component specifies the target competencies for each lesson. They are carefully written in such a way that they guide and steer class discussion, activities, and assessment.

Let's Warm Up This component has a three-pronged function: to diagnose the potential weaknesses of learners, motivate them to learn, and activate their background knowledge.

Let's Assess Our Skills - This component allows learners to practice self-assessment of their baseline skills. Its results provide learners and teachers insights into the focal areas of the discussions and activities.

Let's Learn This component provides the actual discussion of the topics. Along with the discussion are enabling activities that will prepare learners for writing a research paper.

Let's Check Our Understanding - This component assesses learners' understanding of the concepts presented. A basic understanding and recall of these concepts create the foundation upon which learners' knowledge will be developed." —Preface
