Week 1: Research V

I. Purpose/Problem       II. Conceptualization      III. Design/Data Gathering      IV. Results/Analysis      V. Implications/Conduction

 

I. Purpose/Problem

• What am I studying?

II. Conceptualization

• different angles of my research idea?
• focus?
• interested in the difference maker, difference made or the process of making a difference
• most important concepts?
• distinctions/associations?

III. Design/Data Gathering

• how will you answer the research questions?
• what methods will be used?

IV. Results/Analysis

• what did you find?

V. Implications/Conduction

• what do your results mean

 

Starting a Research V

Explore a pool of experiences (your experiences/experiences of those helping us)

 

Questions to ask as you begin research:

1. What is the condition?    X?
2. What comes after it?     X—?
3. What comes before it?    ?—X
4. What comes inside of it?    X (over boxed ?)
5. What comes inside of it?  (situationally)    ? (over boxed X)
6. What is outside? (generally)     ? (over dashed boxed X)

 

1.   What is the condition?    X?

• focus of attention? (specific as possible)

2.   What comes after it?     X—?

• consequences of this condition?

3.   What comes before it?    ?—X

• a consequence of this condition?
• what produced this condition?

4.   What comes inside of it?     X (over boxed ?)

• what does this condition include/contain
• what is contained in this relationship

5.   What comes inside of it? (situationally)    ? (over boxed X)

• what is the immediate context for this condition?
• is there immediate context in which is occurs?

6.   What is outside? (generally)     ? (over dashed boxed X)

• what is the nature of the world in which this condition is found?

 

X?    ——— focus of attention

X—?      ?—X   ——— association, cause/effect relationship

X [?]   ——— distinctions

? [X]      ?[[X]]   ——— context
