Q

Bracketing

A

Only used in respect to phenomenology, related to reflexivity. Can’t bracket out your assumptions or your lens.

Q

Reflexivity

A
  1. a circular process,
  2. having awareness of our process,
  3. questioning ourselves. Morrow (2005)
  4. Positioning ourselves in the study (IE in methods section) and how this impacts our interpretation

A

Usually associated with more hardcore version of quantitative. Reality is dictated by ‘natural laws’ and knowledge of the way things are. context free. Research can reveal this truth. Replication = truth.

17
Q

Coming up with the right GRQ

A
  • Determining the meaning of important terms
  • determining what the central issue is
  • Determining the case - what you include or don’t include in your conceptual context
  • Somewhat circular with conceptual context formation - lather, rinse, repeat (what do I already know about this)
18
Q

Exploring the conceptual context

A
  • Stay focused on GRQ
  • What explanations are out there?
  • What DO you know or think you know?
  • What issues or tensions are there related to your GRQ?
    • Brainstorm, draw a conceptual map, clump
19
Q

Morrow (2005)

A
  1. Social Validity
  2. Subjectivity and reflexivity
  3. adequacy of data
  4. adequacy of interpretation
20
Q

Trustworthiness

A
  1. Credibility (most important of the four) - alignment with participants perspectives or realities
  2. Transferability - enablement of determinations of applicability of findings to other settings
  3. Dependability - depth of account of potential influences upon data and results
  4. Confirmability - degree to which data and results can be corroborated by others. (Lincoln &; Guba, 1985)

(Lincoln &; Guba, 1985)

  4. Confirmability - degree to which data and results can be corroborated by others. (Lincoln &; Guba, 1985)
22
Q
  1. Credibility
  2. Transferability
  3. Dependability
  4. Confirmability
A

Four factors of trustworthiness (Lincoln & Guba, 1985)

23
Q

Standard techniques for promoting trustworthiness

A
  • Exploring, disclosing, and bracketing researcher bias
  • reflexive journal
  • Prolonged engagement
  • Attending to the research relationship
  • Triangulation
  • Member Checking
  • Peer debriefing
  • (Lincoln &; Guba, 1985)
24
Q

Purposive Sampling

A

Talking to people who can best inform you about the phenomena. It’s not random at all.

25
Q

Definition of Grounded Theory

A

to generate or discover a theory, a “unified theoretical explanation” for a process or an action. Intent is to move beyond description and into explanation of why or how. (Creswell & Poth, 2018)

The Purpose of GT is to construct theory grounded in data. (Corbin and Strauss, 2015)

Originally created by Glaser and Strauss (1967)

26
Q

Definition of Phenomenology

A

describes the common meaning for several individuals of their lived experiences of a concept or a phenomenon. The basic purpose is to reduce individual experiences with a phenomenon to a description of the universaal essence (a “grasp of the very nature of the thing”). Creswell and Poth (2017)

Moustakas (1994) is a key citation
