Hello. I am a University teacher and doctoral student in the University of Turku, Finland. I work as a teacher in Department of Teacher Education, Rauma Unit. My research concerns procedural and declarative knowledge in learning and teaching in technology education. I have collected video data about the craft and technology project in Finnish comprehensive school context. I have used Elan video annotation software in my analysis. If You have experiences about it, it would be fine to hear about them. Qualitative analysis is very hard and time consuming activity... I know that there are many different kinds of software suitable for video annotation and analysis. May be that some other would be better than Elan. But, it is impossible to familiarize all of them. My interest concerns learning the abstract and complex concepts related to electricity and electronis wiithin technology education. I believe that learning by doing is one way to familiarize students to the world of technology. Interesting projects, where students have possibility to design and manufacture things or devices, are a means for them to learn...

Hello, Fellow Researchers:

I joined this group to learn more about qualitative research, especially for first-time researchers such as me.  I have recently completed my course courses for my doctoral in Higher Education and Adult Learning at Walden University; and I am now focused full-time on my doctoral project, which will be qualitative.  So, I am here to learn from you and gain insight.

Hi

I have just set up a group to discuss evaluation as I couldn't see any existing groups. If you are involved in any form of evaluation research please get on board!

Hello, I am looking forward to joining the group. I am a Clinical Research Manager in the Nursing Department at University Health Network, In Toronto ON. My work at UHN focuses on teaching, mentoring and supporting nursing research, which includes qualitative research. To date, mostly qualitative descriptive research and phenomenological. I am looking forward to learning more about other types of qualitative research. Just finished another Research Course at McMaster University, where I focused more on Mixed Methods.

Hi!

 

I joined the group today and am looking forward to the conversations!

 

As an introduction, I am editor-in-chief of The Qualitative Report (TQR) and The Weekly Qualitative Report. TQR is an online, open-access, peer reviewed journal that we have been publsihing since 1990. The Weekly is three years old and is a newsletter through which we circulate qualitative research news items, reports of new articles, calls for papers, and job openings. Both publications are free.

 

We are always looking for interesting papers, news items, and the lot. Also, if you are interested in becoming a reviewer with the journal, please let me know. We are always looking for great book reviews too!

 

We also provide a rich variety of links to online resources, textual resources and other materials of use to qualitative researchers. If you see that we are missing a great resource, please let me know.

 

In addition, we offer an annual conference each January in Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA. The theme for the 2012 meeting is "Creativity and the Qualitative Researcher."

 

You can learn more about our resources by visiting http://www.nova.edu/ssss/QR/.

 

Thank you,

Hey Graham, looking forward to feedback regarding your recent survey.  We are happy to know that Dedoose: http://www.dedoose.com is getting some recognition on the onlineqda site as a new and innovative tool for web-based collaborative research.  We are keen to know more about researcher interest in online work--both in terms of collaboration and data collection and analysis.  One of our most exciting developments of late is to fully populate a Dedoose project with output from SurveyMonkey and migration tools to convert NVivo and other projects into Dedoose.

 

Cheers,

 

Eli

I'm interested in qualitative inquiry. Because in Pakistan the trend of qualitative inquiry is not supported but I want to do something in this regard

Online survey on teaching qualitative methods and the use of online resources for teaching

In the Online QDA web site [http://onlineqda.hud.ac.uk/] we have been adding new resources and information for students and researchers learning how to do qualitative data analysis. We hope these will also be of interest to teachers of qualitative social research methods.

To help us design the materials and the website, we are investigating how qualitative analysis is taught in higher education. To this end it would help us enormously if you and your colleagues who teach qualitative methods could complete our online questionnaire:

http://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/hud/shumat2_onlineqda2

If you can, please complete this before the deadline of February 21st 2011.

We think you will be able to complete most questions in about 20 to 30 minutes. But there are several open-ended questions where you can give us more information about how you are teaching. If you complete these too, it will take you longer, but we do encourage you to do that, as it will give us a lot more interesting information.
If you have received this message but do not teach qualitative research, it would be very helpful if you could forward the message to any of your colleagues who do.
At the end of the questionnaire we ask if you could send us copies of your module or course handouts and/or specification (yours or those used in your department) that include teaching on qualitative methods. These will be used for research purposes only. In case you did not note the address where these should be sent it is:

email: onlineqda@hud.ac.uk  with a subject of OnlineQDA Survey -- Teaching Materials,

or post: Room 1/01, Human and Health Sciences Research Building, University of Huddersfield, Queensgate, Huddersfield, HD1 3DH. UK

Many thanks,
Graham R Gibbs, Dawn Clarke, Andrew Teal, Colm Crowley, Christina Silver, Darren Marsh, Anna Gruszczynska (Universities of Huddersfield, Greenwich, Surrey and Birmingham).
