Research Design and Data Collection Strategies: A Comprehensive Agenda

This agenda outlines a structured approach for discussing research design methodologies, including qualitative and quantitative strategies. It emphasizes the importance of aligning research questions with design choices, ensuring validity, and analyzing participants' underlying theories. The session includes collaborative work on interview preparation, field notes, and oral presentations about real-world settings. Participants will engage in discussions about practical constraints, observational influence, and data collection techniques. Key readings from Chapters 8 and 9 will deepen understanding for future classes.

  2. Agenda • Research design • DiscussQcards • Question matrixes • Data collection B • Data collection and analysis • Preview chapter 8 • Work on final research plan

  3. Research design • Doesyour design reflectyour question? • Have youdescribed the researcher’s action (intervention) completely? • NOT data collection • Have youanalyzed the research participants’ theory-in-use? • If not, whatfurther data do youneed to do this? • Is the research design practical?

  4. Research design (continued) • How are youassuring the highestdegree of validity possible? • Concepts – operationaldefinitions – measurementtools? • Sampling • Control of external variables (quantitative) • Exact representation of participant views (qualitative) • Control of bias

  5. Q-card discussion • Whatdid I connectwith in the text? • Whatwasproblematic? • Whatdid I have difficultyunderstanding? • How do I applythis to everydayteaching / life experiences? Demonstratethatyou have read and thoughtdeeply.

  6. Interviews • In your groups, prepare an interview about either lunch tomorrow or eatingfood in class • Constraints • Actions • Consequences • Administer the interview • Debrief

  7. Data collection B • Same groups as Friday for the oral presentations • Choose a public place where people interact • Prepare a rich description and a preciserepresentation of your location in the form of field notes (about 20 minutes). • Oral report – 5 minutes per group • DO NOT name places, persons, etc. • The class willguess the location afteryourpresentation.

  8. Data collection B • How might the time of day affect this site? • How might your observations have been different if the site visit had been longer or spread over a longer period of time? • How might the season influence observations at this site? • How might observations change if the observer had a close relationship to the site? • Might the people you observed be different at a different site? If yes, how? Why? • How might you change the site in order to make your observation easier? More efficient? etc. • How did you feel at this site? • What did you learn about data collection?

  9. Research design • Qualitative (descriptive) • Quantitative • Descriptive • Correlational • Quasi-experimental • Experimental • Mixed • Quantitative and qualitative • Action Research

  10. Key planning decisions • Research question • Design of study • Structure of data collection • Amount of data collection • Structure of data analysis • Practicalities • Collaborative processes

  11. Beforenext class READ Chapters 8 & 9 DO Q card 5 • Chapters 8 & 9 Complete « almost final » poster presentation Pick up poster board (if necessary)
