Study Notes
Project Method
- The project method is a psycho-analytical method used to understand the unconscious mind.
- It aims to externalize the inner causes of disturbing behaviors and repressed elements.
- The method involves using projective tests such as:
- Ink Blot Test (developed by Swiss psychiatrist Herman Rorschach in 1921)
- Free Association Test
- Drawing
- Painting
- Sentence Completion
- Thematic Apperception Test
- The project method can be useful in studying social relationships, allowing researchers to understand how others perceive a subject.
- Findings can be easily presented and interpreted using graphs and other visual formats.
- The project method was developed in 1946 by Dr.J.L.Moreno and Helen Jennings.
- It was initially designed to assess how individuals are accepted in a group.
Method Advantages
- The project method is useful for studying social relationships.
- Researchers can get a better understanding of how individuals are perceived by others.
- Findings can be easily presented and interpreted using visual formats, such as graphs.
Method Disadvantages
- Data collection is not always scientific, as it is often based on member opinions.
- Responses can be affected by peer pressure.
Case Study Method
- Borrowed from medical science, this method focuses on an individual, particularly helpful for understanding children facing learning, behavioral, or emotional difficulties.
- Thorough investigation involves analyzing past history, key life events, and current physical, mental, emotional, and social status.
- This data collection and analysis guides the understanding of disorders and facilitates treatment.
- Although primarily used for problematic children, case study methods are also applicable to studying gifted children
-
Advantages:
- Useful for investigating unique characteristics in individuals.
- Provides in-depth understanding of the root causes of issues.
-
Disadvantages:
- Time consuming and requires extensive data collection
- Findings may not always be reliable, as they often depend on self-reported information, which could be inaccurate.
- Data collection and analysis can be challenging.
Sociometric Method
- Focuses on understanding social behavior within specific groups.
- This method determines the nature of social relationships between members of a group, including those within classroom settings.
- Teachers use questionnaires to gather information on psychosocial relationships among students.
