    Study Notes

    Phenomenology

    • The science of lived experiences of individuals

    Corpus Data

    • A collection of multi-data references for analysis (Creswell, et al. 2014)

    Qualitative Phenomenological Research

    • Steps in conducting qualitative phenomenological research:
      • Identify the research problem
      • Formulate the research title
      • Develop research questions (central question, specific questions, developmental questions/interview questions)
      • Validate developmental questions
      • Design research methodology (research protocols)
      • Send request letters and informed consent forms

    The Interview Protocol

    • Phenomenology method employed to recall conscious feelings and experiences of overseas Filipino students with front-liner parents, focusing on how their parents' professional lives impact scholastic statuses.
    • Three phases:
      • Research preparation: Researcher introduces self, project, and contact info; schedules appointments.
      • Interview proper: Noise-reduced room/Zoom, casual chatting, informed consent, general open-ended questions, clarificatory questions, probing for more information.
      • Data transcription and follow-up: Recording extraction, transcription, copying, and keeping records, and clarificatory questions if needed.

    Robotfoto

    • A Dutch term (Keltchtermans & Ballet, 2002) referring to a photo-like picture drawn by witnesses to describe a suspect (judgement) in a criminal case.
    • Includes
      • Profile of the participant
      • Mention in data collection
    • A document detailing informed consent procedures for conducting interviews. Contains details about the research project and participant rights.
    • Includes participant information like
      • Participant's contact details
      • Research objectives
      • Confidentiality measures -Researcher's contact information and advisor

    Semi-Structured Interview

    • A face-to-face interview method where both the researcher and participant follow a pre-defined interview guide and questions. (Fossey, 2001), with a valid time duration (Acosta, 2021)
    • Valid interview time: 1.50 minutes to 2 hours.

    Script Interview

    • Designed to build rapport and establish friendliness with participants in the initial stages of the interview process.

    Developmental Interview

    • The point where the interviewer's questions become purposeful to the research topic.

    Writing Developmental Questions

    • Guidelines for writing effective questions in interviews:
      • Questions should be understandable, clear, and easy to comprehend
      • Questions must be aligned with the central question as well as specific questions.
      • Avoid Yes/No questions and leading questions

    Purposeful Sampling (Qualitative Research)

    • A sampling technique, selecting respondents with knowledge and experience to gain richer, more insightful data.
    • Factors important for selection include:
      • Knowledge about the phenomenon of interest
      • Experience with a phenomenon of interest
      • Availability to participate and willingness to do so
      • Ability to communicate effectively

    Number of Participants

    • Suggested participant numbers:
      • 3 to 26 participants (Creswell, 1998)
      • At least 6 participants (Morse, 1994)
      • Ideally 10 participants (standard), avoiding gender bias.
      • Qualitative sample size considerations:
        • Time constraints
        • Availability of resources
        • Study objectives.

    Interview Transcribe: (Emic to Etic)

    • Emic: Writing participant responses in their POV, including spoken fillers (ah...uhmmm...).
    • Etic: Converting the responses into the researcher's perceptions and understanding based on the transcribed data.

    Analyzing Data

    • Cool Analysis: Initial reading and rereading of raw interview data to develop a general understanding.
    • Warm Analysis: More in-depth analysis to look for emerging patterns, themes, and significant points in the collected data.

    Coding Types

    • Descriptive Coding: Summarising data into single nouns.
    • In Vivo Coding: Using participant-stated words or phrases repeatedly mentioned during interviews.
    • Holistic Coding: Coding large data units, rather than detailed coding, to grasp the overall content and potential themes.

    Member-Checking Procedure

    • Procedures to ensure data validity and trustworthiness using triangulation/quadrangulation techniques.
    • Involves input from three external members who are not part of the group.
    • Allows verification of interpretations of responses.

    Data Collection Forms

    • Individual Form: Table for recording participant questions/responses and member perspectives.
    • Summary Form: Table for summarizing data gathered from multiple participants (e.g., member responses or perspectives on similar questions.)
