- QUALITATIVE DATA
- words
rather than
numbers.
Can take a
variety of
forms
- field notes, text,
audio and video
recording of
naturally

- major form of data used
in cultural studies like

- CONS
- 1) audio and visual
only provide a
glimpse of what is
within shot, there
is always more
going on
- 2) video can
significantly alter
peoples behaviour
- 3) Participants may lie
- Margaret Mead in Samoa
- 4) It is up to the
researcher to decide
what is relevant when
transcribing notes etc.
Their perception or role
they impose upon
themselves as
researcher will
influence this
- 5) Focus is on
small number
of participants
unlike
quantitative
- conclusions may
be generalised. A
process of
inference is in
place - from
sample to
population

- PROS
- 1) not limited to
rigidly defined
variables
- 2) free to
explore new
areas of
research
- 3) provides in
depth
examination
- 4) Can examine
indepth questions not
possible to answer
with quantitative
research

- Qualitative researchers regard quantitative
research as in a appropriate for researching
social phenomenon. Only a qualitative approach
can overcome the difficulttlies adult researchers
face in trying to understand childhood
- words
rather than
numbers.
Can take a
variety of
forms
- QUANTITATIVE DATA
- takes on form of numbers
- used to indicate frequency
of an event as well as
degree to which objects
posess an attribute
- child mortality rates are an example (bk 4)
- child mortality rates are an example (bk 4)
- EXPERIMENTAL:
control is
exerted by
researcher over
the variables
- PIAGET
- PIAGET
- SURVEY: for
example
questionnaires
- used to indicate frequency
of an event as well as
degree to which objects
posess an attribute
- pros
- 1) allows for
braoder area of
study
- 2) using standards
means that results
can be compared
with other studies
which allows for
greater accuracey
- 3) personal bias
can be avoided

- cons
- 1) research often
carried out in
unnatural enviro
which can impact
results obtained
- 2) collect a much
narrower dataset
- 3)standardised
questions can lead to
false representation
of subject as it illicts
answers to very
specific thhings,
discounting
everything else
- results are limited as they
provide numerical data
rather than bio data

- Difficulties researching children
- There are limits on the adult
researchers ability to fully
understand the cultural influences
which affect children's lives
- Barriers to understanding Owain Jones 2001 (bk 1 p297)
- Barriers to understanding Owain Jones 2001 (bk 1 p297)
- there is a danger
that adults will
assume having
been a child they
understand all
childhood life
experiences. They
forget that each
experience is
personal
- can forget the
differences gender, class,
age, ethnicity, locale
make to the childhood
experience
