Design and Data Collection with Julianne Cheek and Elise Øby
We need to think about research before we design and conduct it.
Julianne Cheek and Elise Øby co-authored the book Research Design: Why Thinking About Design Matters. In the book description they observe:
Designing research is about making decisions to transform an idea into a plan that can provide answers to a research problem or question. Thinking about, and then making these decisions results in the research design – the plan that will be followed to conduct the research and answer the question.
They sat down with me to discuss the decision-making central to designing and conducting research. In this series of recordings they walk through important points covered in each chapter. Find all the posts by Dr. Cheek and Dr. Øby here, and the 10-part video playlist here.
