Clues

  • Counts and reports the frequency of concepts, words, behaviours held within data. Researcher develops brief descriptions of themes, called codes. Similar codes may late be grouped into categories. (7, 8)
  • Impact of the researcher on the research participants or setting, notably changing their behaviour. (9, 6)
  • Include Delphi (expert panel opinion) and nominal group techniques(problem identification, solution generation, and decision making). They provide a way of synthesizing info and dealing with conflicting evidence, aims to determine agreement (9, 7)
  • Iterative method of content analysis. each category is searched in its entirety in a data set. All instances are compared until no new categories are found. (8, 10)
  • Research findings can be transferred from one context to similar situations or participants. (15)
  • Researchers design a field experiment, collect data, then feed it back to the participants (activists). Participants then give feedback, which can be used to model the next stage. (6, 8)
  • Sampling strategy in which the selection of participants is guided by the ideas that are emerging from data analysis. (11, 8)
  • Selection of participants who have knowledge or experience of the topic being researched (9, 8)
  • The linguistic analysis of naturally occurring connected speech or written discourse. Its also concerned with language used in social contexts, and in particular with interactions or dialogue between speakers. (9, 8)
  • use of constant comparison. Specifically in developing hypotheses, which are then tested in further data collection and analysis. (8, 9)
