Multiple in-depth interviews (also can include personal diaries that could be rich with data)

Bracketing: Researcher describes and record their own experiences of the phenomenon

19
Q

What is Case Study?

A

Studying complexity and distinctiveness of a case within important circumstances

Q

Various forms of Case Studies

A
  1. Intrinsic Case Study - understanding the complexity of the case
  2. Instrumental Case Study - focus on a specific case (like intrinsic) but gives insight into a issue of interest
  3. Collective Case Study - instrumental case study with several cases

For instrumental the case is the secondary priority because it leads to insight on something more important the researcher wishes to look at

23
Q

Example of Instrumental Case Study

A

Researcher wanting to study child obesity rates so they set up exercise activities in middle school children but the middle school children are not the focus of the study, it is the child obesity rate which is the primary focus; middle school children and exercise are the “case”

Q

What is grounded theory? (Strategy of Inquiry)

A

Generating and analysing data iteratively to construct a theory

29
Q

Focus of grounded theory and end result?

A

Grounded theory has researchers employ iterative strategies to compare data against each other and find differences and similarities.

End result: A theory that is concealed in your data for you to find out

30
Q

Greatest challenge of grounded theory?

A

When has Data Saturation been reached?

31
Q

Findings from Tammiens and Holts research using grounded theory said?

A

Coping in sports is about experiential process that involves reflective practices

32
Q

Data generation of grounded theory?

A

Via one-on-one interviews with participants

33
Q

What does data saturation imply about information of the research topic?

A

It implies that no new information will surface; therefore, no additional data need be generated
