BLOG POST #6:
What about the reading (between pages 229 - 240) this week stood out to you? Write one phrase or passage here.
How is the phrase/passage relevant to you? Why did it stand out?
Identify or explain one question or connection from the readings this week.
"Every researcher begins with a substantial base of experience and theoretical knowledge, and these inevitably generate certain questions about the phenomena studied. These initial questions frame the study in important ways, influence decisions about methods, and are one basis for further focusing and development of more specific questions."
This stood out to me because all the tools should be combined to work together in a research design. Regarding categorizing and connecting memos and displays, I read that if you only use one of the tools, you run the risk of missing important information. It is hard enough to formulate a research question without biases, but if you use the tools already in place, you could possibly reach a non-biased outcome.
I am trying to develop a specific question, but I am still determining how, in my current role, I could change the lack of organization or order in my workplace. Sitting around each day wondering isn't doing a thing. I want to take action and make a change for the better.
I also am trying to develop a specific question. I keep going back and forth about what exactly I'm trying to figure out, showcase, and or change.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one, this is a process.
DeleteI have been there! (Right now my work is opening up in interesting ways so I am not feeling as blocked.) You might be surprised what you come up with if you consider going back to an earlier exercise from class, and brainstorm a list of "What If" questions, no matter how silly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn, I was thinking about doing that.
