Study Notes
Research Methods and Ethics
- Anonymity: Ensures research participants cannot be identified through their responses, or destroys records containing personal details after data collection.
- Case Study: An in-depth examination of a single case, such as an individual, organization, or group, without comparing it to others.
Data Analysis and Collection
- Coding: Examines data to identify themes and categories, labeling them for description.
- Data Analysis: Examines research data to draw meaningful conclusions.
- Data Collection: Systematic process of gathering data for research.
Research Approaches
- Constructionism: Focuses on how people construct reality through everyday interactions.
- Deduction: Arrives at logical conclusions through rational processes, often used in quantitative research for theory testing.
Types of Research
- Documentary Research: Uses texts or documents as source materials, such as historical reports, newspapers, or diaries.
Key Concepts
- Emerging Themes: Concepts identified during initial data analysis, formed into categories, and grouped into themes with similar meanings.
- Ethics: Standards to protect research participants from risk or harm, informing each stage of research design.
- Confidentiality: Ensures personal details collected during research are only disclosed to the research team, differing from anonymity.
