NOTES:\u00a0 from today’s class…<\/p>\n

Qualitative Data<\/p>\n

Characteristics
\n– Depth rather than breadth
\n– Rich thick descriptions
\n– Experience the phenomenon through the eyes of others
\n– Social and historical context
\n– Flexible research designs<\/p>\n

Concerns\/Criticisms and Questions about Qualitative Data
\n(As a reader\/consumer)
\n– it’s soft
\n– not credible \/ not scientific \/<\/p>\n

MORE STUFF (look at file in BB)<\/p>\n

Interviews as a Method
\n– MORE STUFF (look at file in BB)<\/p>\n

Interviewer Metaphors (What’s your epistemology?)
\n– Miner (More structured)
\n– Traveller (Less structured)
\n(Kvale, 1996)<\/p>\n

Interview Considerations (Planning)
\n– Formality
\n– Structure(Structured, Semi-structured, Unstructured)

\n– Open, e.g. Can you tell me about your relationship with your colleagues in your office?<\/p>\n

Interviews and Ethical Considerations
\n– Putting people under pressure
\n– Not safeguarding anonymity
\n–<\/p>\n

Interviews Resources
\n-Uwe Flick
\n– Graham Gibbs (YouTube channels)<\/p>\n

Focus Groups (instead of interviews)
\n– Suitable for studying interaction and for comparing viewpoints
\n– Less suitable for narrative studies or addressing individual attitudes
\n– Need careful planning and design
\n– May know each other already or be unfamiliar to each other
\n– Pragmatic in MA and MSc projects
\n* a means to gather rich cars in a tight timescale
\n* may be more comfortable in a group
\n* can be conducted online if necessary
\n– Get help!
\n– If possible ask a colleague to share the focus group<\/p>\n

Purposeful Sampling
\n– Researchers intentionally select individuals and sites<\/p>\n
