Probably not. - How your research feeds what you want to do. - Researchers attached to the grant to see how it is funded effectively. - Pros and Cons of doing research design early. - Once it is repetitive, you don't need to keep doing the lit review. Keep the scope small - ![[CleanShot 2024-09-18 at [email protected]]] - Sampling. My disseration will probably do purposive sampling. [[Dissertation ideas]] with a focus on Typical Case Sampling. - Important: Research Protocol - ![[Preparing a Research Protocol.png]] ## 2024-09-11 - When looking at a dissertation, can we look at one that isn't from UMSL? - Dissertations: - Kim and Karen - Qualitative Research about principals that have achieved School of Character status. - Monica - how can we prevent adultification bias - - Amanda - Intersection between character and social justice ## 2024-08-21 Dr. Terrence Freeman - Your job is to get it done!

Types of Qualitative Research 1. Phenomenoloical Research: Focuses on exploring and understanding individuals' lived experiences and the meanings they ascribe to those experiences. It aims to uncover the essence of phenomena as perceived by participants. 2. Grounded Theory Research: Seeks to develop a theory or framework grounded in the data collected from the field. Researchers use systematic data collection and analysis procedures to build theories inductively. 3. Ethnographic Research: Involves the in-depth study of people and cultures in their natural environment. Researchers immerse themselves in the community or group to observe and document behaviors, rituals, and interactions. 4. Case Study Research: Examines a single instance or a small number of cases in great detail. This approach provides a comprehensive analysis of a specific phenomenon within its real-life context. 5. Narrative Research: Focuses on the stories and personal narratives of individuals. It aims to understand how people make sense of their lives and experiences through the stories they tell. 6. Action Research: Engages in a cyclical process of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting with the goal of both solving a problem and contributing to knowledge. It often involves collaboration with participants to address practical issues and implement changes. ## Readings & Viewings - [[EDREM7781 Viewings]] - [[Week 4]] - [[Powerpoints from EDREM 7781]] ## Assignments - [[Defining Qualitative Research Assignment]] - [[Qualitative Dissertation Evaluation Paper Assignment]] - [[Assignments/Research Proposal|EDREM 7781 Final Project -Research Proposal]] - ## Notes ```dataview list from #EDREM7781 ```
