The researcher needs to decide how and in what way his or her personal under standings will be introduced into the study.
focused on a description of the experiences of participants
describes research as oriented toward lived experience and interpreting the "texts" of life
2. Recognizing and specifying the broad philosophical assumptions of phenomenology. Describing how participants view the phenomenon, researchers must bracket out, as much as possible, their own experiences.
3. Collecting data. It is collected from the individuals who have experienced the phenomenon.
- Observations - Journals - Forms of art - Taped conversations - Formally written
4. Asking questions. Asking general and open-ended questions that focus attention on gathering data that will lead to a textural description and a structural description of the experiences.
5. Data analysis
- Building on the data from the first and second research questions. - highlight "significant statements," (these provide an understanding of how the participants experienced the phenomenon.)
6. Writing a description. Significant statements and themes are then used to write a description of what the participants experienced (textural description); imaginative variation or structural description.
7. Writing a composite description that presents the essential, invariant structure
2. Choosing individuals. Researchers choose one or more individuals who have stories or life experiences to tell, and spend considerable time with them gathering their stories through multiples types of information.
3. Collecting information about the context of these stories. Narrative researchers situate individual stories within participants' personal experiences.
4. Analizing data. - Researchers analyze the participants' stories.
- Restorying
- Framework (gathering stories, analyzing them for key elements of the story)
- Rewriting the stories to place them within a chronological sequence
5. Collaborate with participants by actively involving them in the research. As researchers collect stories, they negotiate relationships, smooth transitions, and provide ways to be useful to the participants.
Identify in the source material gathered the particular stories that capture the individual's experiences.
Researchers need to discuss the participant's stories as well as be reflective about their own personal and political background.
Study of an individual’s personal experience found in single or multiple episodes, private situations, or communal folklore.
It is a narrative story of the entire life experiences of a person.
The individual who is the subject of the study writes the account.
In it, the researcher writes and records the experiences of another person’s life.
The researcher needs to conduct the inquiry in a way that respects the care of the participants,and involves them collaboratively in all phases of the research.
It studies social issues that constrain individual lives. The researcher focuses on “life-enhancing” changes.
To improve the quality of people’s organizations, communities, and family lives.
Study of local practices that focuses on teacher development and student learning. It implements a plan of action leaded to the teacher.
Small-scale research project, narrowly focuses on a specific problem or issue
To research a specific school situation with a view toward improving practice.
2. Identify a problem to study. It may be one that you face in your own practice or in your community.
3. Locating resources to help address the problem. Resources to help study the problem. Literature and existing data may help you formulate a plan of action. You may need to review the literature and determine what others have learned about solving the issue.
4. Identifying information you will need.
- Plan a strategy for gathering data. - Decide who can provide data, how many people you will study, what individuals to access, and the rapport and support you can expect to obtain from them.
5. Implement the data collection.
- Organizing it into data files for numeric or theme analysis. - Examining the quality of the information.
6. Analyzing the data.
7. Developing a plan for action. New educational practice. It might be a plan to reflect on alternative approaches to addressing the problem or to share what you have learned with others,
8. Implementing the plan and reflect. The researcher will implement the plan of action to see if it makes a difference.
It involves trying out a potential solution to your problem and monitoring whether it has impact.
When is it used?
We use action research when you have a specific educational problem to solve.
Deciding the "boundaries" of a case-how it might be constrained in terms of time, events, and processes-may be challenging.
In it, the one issue is again selected, but the inquirer selects multiple case studies to illustrate the issue. The researcher selects multiple cases to show different perspectives on the issue.
It focuses on the case itself because the case presents an unusual or unique situation.
The researcher focuses on an issue or concern, and then selects one bounded case to illustrate this issue.
2. Identify their case or cases. These cases may involve an individual, several individuals, a program, an event, or an activity; the type of case study is most promising and useful.
3. Data collection.
- observations - interviews - documents - audiovisual materials
4. Data analysis. Data can be a holistic analysis of the entire case Through data collection, a detailed description of the case emerges. - The researcher might focus on a few key issues (or analysis of themes) for understanding the complexity of the case. - Cross-case analysis - Interpretation of the meaning of the case.
5. Interpretive phase. The researcher reports the meaning of the case, whether that meaning comes from learning about the issue of the case or learning about an unusual situation.
2. Research questions. These focus on understanding how· individuals experience the process and identifying the steps in the process then the researcher returns to the participants and asks more detailed questions.
- observations - documents - audiovisual materials
3. These questions are asked
4. Analysis of the data stages. Open coding. The researcher forms categories of information about the phenomenon being studied by segmenting information. He or she looks for data to dimensionalize.
Axial coding. The reseracher assembles the data in new ways after open coding then, it is presented using a coding paradigm in which is identified a central phenomenon, he or she explores causal conditions, specifies strategies, identifies the 'context and delineates the consequences for this phenomenon.
Selective coding. The researcher write a text that connects the categories. The hypotheses may be specified that state predicted relationships.
5. Result of process of data collection and analysis. The result is a theory. It emerges with help from the process of memoing.
It focuses on the meanings ascribed by participants in a study. - Any conclusions developed are suggestive, incomplete, and inconclusive. - The narrative is written to be more explanatory, more discursive, and more probing of the assumptions and meanings for individuals in the study.
In it, the researcher builds a theory and discusses the relationship among categories without reference to a diagram or picture.
It emphasizes the use of data analysis steps of open, axial, and selective coding, and the development of a logic paradigm or a visual picture of the theory generated. In this definition, three phases of coding exist.
Phases of coding
1st phase. (open coding) The researcher forms initial categories of information about the phenomenon being studied by segmenting information. He bases categories on all data collected.
2nd phase. (axial coding) The researcher selects one open coding category, positions it at the center of the process being explored, and then relates other categories to it.
3rd phase. (selective coding) The researcher writes a theory from the interrelationship of the categories in the axial coding model. This theory provides an abstract explanation for the process being studied in the research.
- It needs to have a grounding in cultural anthropology and the meaning of a social-cultural system as well as the concepts explored.
- The time to collect data is extensive.
- It is challenging for authors accustomed to traditional approaches to writing social and human science research.
- There is a possibility that the researcher will "go native" and be unable to complete the study or be compromised in the study.
2. Identify and locate a culture-sharing group to study. This group is one that has been together for an extended period of time, so that their shared language, patterns of behavior, and attitudes have merged into a discernable pattern.
3. Select cultural themes or issues to study about the group. This involves the analysis of the culture-sharing group.
To study cultural concepts, determine which type of ethnography to use.
4. Gather information where the group works and lives (fieldwork). Going to the research site, respecting the daily lives of individuals at the site, and collecting a wide variety of materials.
- observations - tests and measures - surveys - interviews - content analysis - interviews
5. Analyzes the data Analizing the data for a description of the culture-sharing group focusing on a single event, on several activities, or on the group over a prolonged period of time.
6. Final product of the analisis. Forge a working set of rules or patterns. The final product is a holistic cultural portrait of the group that incorporates the views of the participants.
Type of ethnographic research in which the authors advocate for the emancipation of groups marginalized in society. Its components include a value-laden orientation, empowering people, challenging the status quo, and addressing concerns about power and control.
an approach that reflects a particular stance taken by the researcher toward the individuals. It is an objective account of the situation, written in the third person point of view and reporting objectively on the information learned from participants at a site.
