  1. DESIGING QUALITATIVERESEARCH Group 1 9310002A Joshua 9310004A Emily 9310012A Daniel 9310020A Zoe 9310038A Lydia Instructor: Professor Mavis

  2. IDEA AND THEORY 1. Idea starts every research 2. Where does “idea” come from? Answer a: from particular problems or situation we experience (Experience) b: from information we may not experience ourselves (Inexperience )

  3. Keep arising the problem Explore and find answer Start doing research

  4. Theory A system of logical statement explaining the relationship between two objective, concept, phenomena, or characteristic of human (Babbaie, 1992; Denzin, 1978; Polit & Hungler, 1993).

  5. Theory To: 1. Developexplanationsabout reality or the way of classify and organize event 2. Describe events 3. Predict the event in the future

  6. Argue Theory-before-research model begin with idea and disprove them through tests of empirical research Research-before-theory model research should be occur before developing theory

  7. Linear progression Theory-before-research model Idea→Theory→Design→Data Collection→Analysis→Finding Research-before-theory model Idea→Design→Data Collection→Theory→Analysis→Finding

  8. Spiraling progression Idea→ LR→ Design→ Data Collection→ Analysis→ Dissemination and and Organization Finding

  9. Literature Review Four steps 1. to formulate a rough question for research 2. to visit the library to start on literature review 3. to ask the librarian 4. to Make a list

  10. An important thing ★ to develop many different subject areas to research → to get more useful information

  11. Index Two versions 1. Paperbound version 2. Computer-based version

  12. ★ don’t restrictive in your topics when searching for reference materials in indexes ☆ to find the relevant reference indexes for your research ideas

  13. Literature searching ★ don’t forget to keep records on any notes

  14. Two-card Method 1. Author card 2. Topic card

  15. Author card FIGURE 2-1 Author Card

  16. Topic card FIGURE 2-2 Topic card

  17. Topic Card In the Topic Card, it includes : The author’s name The date of the publication A brief topical label A short verbatim excerpt

  18. The advantages of topiccard • Topic card reduces the physical amount of material. • You can very quickly sort the topic cards into their categories. • Topic cards allow you to assess whether multiple authors actually have made similar statements about issues or situations. • Topic card is very portable.

  19. Q: How much should annotate on the topic cards? A : only about two or four paragraphs. • The purpose of these cards is to reduce the amount of material ultimately necessary for the writer-investigator.

  20. Framing Research Problems • It is important to frame or formulate a clear research problem statement. • Q: How to frame the research problem? A: 1. Thinking about what issues were important and how those issues might be measured. 2. Researcher should consider various concept and definitions.

  21. Operationalization & conceptualization • Different people have different definitions. Example: That kid’s a delinquent. • Define everything directly in the beginning of the research.

  22. Quantitative research : Create some index, scale or similar measurement indicator to calculate how much of or what degree the concept exists. • Qualitative investigators : Realize what a concept means in a given research and how that concept is to be identified and examined.

  23. Not every concept is easy to define or to measure Nursing research is not easy to operationalize. Examples: • physiological • social • psychological

  24. Do not forget to reread your literature review. • You can seek ways others have previously examined. • As a researcher, you have to make clear what your concepts mean. Otherwise, your research is easy to failure.

  25. DESIGNING PROJECTS

  26. Can you afford it?

  27. DATA COLLECTION & ORGANIZATION Imagine what the situation will be

  28. TRYING IT OUT • Suggestion 1 Write a single synthesized definition. • Suggestion 2 Find 10 resources of reference material. • Suggestion 3 Find 6 concepts and operationally define each.
