Cards in this deck (37)
- 1Define EpistemologyA branch of philosophy concerned with the theory of knowledge
- 2List the 3 types of Qualitative EpistemologyRealist
Phenomenological
Social Construction - 3Describe Realist KnowledgeReflects as truthfully as possible something that is happening in the real world and that exists independently of the research/participants views of knowledge about it
- 4Describe Phenomenological KnowledgeAim to produce knowledge about the subjective experience of research participants (rather than about the social or psychological patterns or processes that underpin, structure, or shape such subjective experiences, as realist knowledge does
- 5Describe Social ConstructionismSkeptical position in relation to knowledge and argue that what is of interest is not so much what is really going on or how something is actually experienced by participants but rather how people talk about the world and, therefore, how they construct versions of reality through the use of language
- 6List the processes of Preparing data for AnalysisOrthographic
Transcribe
Anonymity
Jeffersonian - 7Describe the Orthographic part of Preparing data for AnalysisWhat is said and who is speaking
Include non-words
Includes overlapping speech - 8Describe the Transcription part of Preparing data for AnalysisAs soon as possible after the interview
- 9Describe the Anonymity part of Preparing data for AnalysisUse Pseudonyms
- 10Describe the Jeffersonian part of Preparing data for AnalysisWhat is being said and how it is being said
- 11List different methods of analysing Qualitative DataThematic Analysis
Interpretative phenomenological analysis
Discourse Analysis
Grounded Theory - 12Describe Grounded TheoryTheory derived from the data (Glaser & Strauss, 1967)
Bottom up approach to understanding a social process - 13Describe Discourse AnalysisAnalysis of language (Potter & Wetherell, 1987)
- 14Describe Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA)Individual's personal interpretation or account
- 15Describe Thematic AnalysisDiscussion and analysis of different themes present in the data
(Braun & Clarke, 2006) - 16List the frameworks for Thematic AnalysisDeductive
Inductive - 17List the themes of Thematic AnalysisDescriptive
Conceptual
Interpretative - 18List the stages of Thematic AnalysisRe-reading
Coding
Identify Patterns
Defining Themes - 19Describe the Defining Themes stage of Thematic AnalysisSummarise the essence of the theme
Select quotes to illustrate each theme
Write a narrative about the content and meaning of the data - 20Process and Principles of Grounded Theory (GT)Identification and integration of categories of meaning from data
As method (how to identify categories and make links between)
As theory (end product of the process)
Coding
Categories
Constant comparative analysis
Saturation - 21Describe the central concern of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)How do people make sense of their experiences?
- 22Describe the Dual Aim of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)an in-depth exploration of people's lived experiences
a close examination of how people make sense of these experiences - 23Describe PhenomenologyConcerned with how things appear to us in experience
As individuals, how do we perceive & talk about objects & events - 24List the basic principles of IPAInductive - rejects the hypothesis in favour of open-ended questions
Idiographic - works at the individual level
Assumes agency to the individual
Individuals actively interpret their experiences & their world
It is concerned with understanding individual's lived experiences & how they make sense of those experiences
It is data driven - prioritises participant's accounts
Research is a dynamic process - the researcher is active in the research - 25Describe Research question in IPAOpen-ended questions (rather than hypotheses) to gain rich & detailed descriptions of the phenomenon being studied
Focus - significant issues either ongoing or at a critical juncture in life
Key - meticulous exploration of lived experience of the participant - 26Describe IPA Analysis: Identifying ThemesIdentify themes in the first case
This involves lots of reading & re-reading
Write comments in the left margin: summaries, associations, connections, preliminary interpretations
Document emerging theme titles in the right margin: these need not be definitive but should enable you to articulate something about the concept identified - 27Discourse Analysis is concerned with...What was said
How it was said
When it was said - 28List the Alternate Tests of QualityCredibility
Dependability
Transferability
Confirmability - 29Describe Credibility as an Alternate Test of QualityRefers to accuracy
Description must be plausible and recognised by participant
Enhanced by prolonged time in the field repeatedly observing and interacting with participants
Using different data sources, methods, data type - 30Describe Dependability as an Alternate Test of QualityRefers to the stability and trackability of the changes in data over time and conditions
Want to determine the extent to which another researcher with similar training and rapport with participants would make the same observations - 31Describe Transferability as an Alternate Test of QualityRefers to the generalisability of the study findings to other settings, populations and contexts
Report must provide sufficient detail so that readers can assess this
Lack of transferability is often viewed as a weakness of qualitative methods - 32Describe Confirmability as an Alternate Test of QualityRefers to the objectivity of the data
Would another researcher agree about the meanings emerging from the data
An audit trial is used in which the researcher explicates how personal biases may come into play - 33List Yardley's core principles for evaluating the validity of qualitative researchSensitivity to context
Commitment and rigour
Coherence and transparency
Impact and importance - 34Describe the principle Sensitivity to contextIs the analysis and interpretation sensitive to the data, the social context and the relationships from which it emerged?
What was the nature of the researcher's involvement?
Does the researcher consider how they may have specifically influence participant's actions?
Does the researcher consider the balance of power in a situation? - 35Describe the principle Commitment and rigourCommitment and rigour in the research process reflects one's attempt to carry out an analysis that has sufficient breadth and/or depth to deliver additional insight into the topic researched
Is the analysis and design permitting you to get to the answers in sufficient depth? - 36Describe the principle Coherence and transparencyIs there coherence across the research question, philosophical perspective, method, and analysis approach?
Is there transparency and sufficient detail in the author's account of methods used and analytical and interpretative choices?
Is every aspect of the data collection process, and the approach to coding and analysing data discussed?
Does the author present excerpts from the data so that readers can discern for themselves the patterns identified? - 37DAsking 'so what?'
We can judge the study to have had impact if it builds on what is already known about the issue to take it one stage further, to look at issues which are of interest to people and society in general
