Study Notes
Factors Affecting Feasibility
- Feasibility of a study depends on various factors, including the breadth of the study in relation to its research questions' scope and answerability
- Another crucial factor is the availability of necessary data to answer the research question
Defining and Identifying Heritage Learners
- Defining what constitutes a heritage learner is essential in a study on attitudes of heritage learners
- Key considerations include the level of exposure to the language, e.g., whether having distant relatives in a country but rarely hearing the language spoken qualifies as a heritage learner
- Identifying qualified participants can be challenging in many settings, making it vital to determine the feasibility of the study
Data Sources and Participant Availability
- Identifying pertinent data sources is crucial in determining the feasibility of a study
- The availability of a reasonable number of participants can significantly impact the study's feasibility
- Large-scale studies requiring numerous participants and data collection rounds may be constrained by the setting and population limitations
Study Design Considerations
- A study's design should consider the potential for participant exhaustion and boredom, particularly in tasks that require multiple rounds of data collection
- Researchers should prioritize participant availability and setting limitations when designing a study
