Research methods: Overview
• The nuts and bolts of the process
• BUT
• What are you bolting together?
• The framework rests very much on the questions you considered with Lyn

Research methods: Overview
• Big picture
• The fine detail will vary considerably between members of the group
• The following aspects will need to be dealt with and appear in your thesis, somewhere
![Page 6: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Research methods: Overview
• Four critical and sometimes crippling, problems for many students:
1. Slow start with problem formation & / or literature review
2. Perfectionism
![Page 7: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Research methods: Overview
3. Distractions from the main research focus: read all sorts of interesting material which at best is marginally related to main issue of project
4. Inadequate collection of data often due to poor planning: note taking, referencing of data, awareness of context of data, etc.

Research methods: Designing the study
• The issue
• This the crucial matter
• The one that prevents most students progressing at a reasonable speed
![Page 12: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Research methods: Designing the study
• What do you want to know?
• What do others know?
• What are you assuming
• What do you believe?
• The hegemony of the scientific paradigm and numbers?
![Page 13: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Research methods: Designing the study
• What do you want to find out?
• You can use a concise issue statement or a general question.
• What will be new to whom?
![Page 14: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Research methods: Designing the study
• New: creating new ideas
Absolutely new: ideas, results, methodology Investigating something in a new context Progression of a theory to a new stage
• Central component of your program
![Page 15: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Research methods: Designing the study
• Why will you spend 2-5 years of your life thinking about this?
• Why will anyone be interested in what you are doing, and where you get to?
• Often it is the former that is the crucial issue to ensure you complete.
![Page 16: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Research methods:Designing the study
• Review in a small group the issue that you plan to base your dissertation on
• Try to articulate it to each other in one sentence.
• Why do you want to write on this?
![Page 17: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Research Methods

19
Research Methods: Developing the proposal
• What have others said about the issue?
• Developing the literature review Sequencing and/or overlapping How much is enough? Stating your road map Linking paragraphs, sub sections, & sections Summary paragraphs: where have we come from & where
are we going
![Page 20: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Research Methods: Developing the proposal
• The research questions emerge from the literature review
• They speak to key issues that the relevant academic community think are relevant, or
• They identify gaps in the literature
![Page 21: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Research Methods: Developing the proposal
• Defining the central problem or issue prevents reading material of marginal relevance and taking extensive notes that purpose of which is not clear
![Page 22: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Research Methods: Developing the proposal
• Why am I reading this?
• How does this relate to the main issue?
• Is this note I am making directly relate to a research question, which in turn relates to the main issue?
![Page 23: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Research Methods: Developing the proposal
• You need to continually be asking yourself your supervisor your buddy group
am I still hitting the main issue with what I am doing here?
![Page 24: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Research Methods: Developing the proposal
• The central research problem does not spontaneously emerge from your copious reading.
• Your literature review is driven by the research issue (and bit by bit) the subsidiary problems you have set out to focus on
![Page 25: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Research Methods: Developing the proposal
• Pay close attention to the methodology, both instruments, procedures and stance, that authors use when reporting in journals
• These may well give you guidance on possible methodology approaches you may wish to adopt
![Page 26: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Research Methods: Developing the proposal
• What questions can you ask?
• What questions should you ask?
• What questions are useful to ask in the context of doing a doctoral program?
![Page 27: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Research methods:Developing the proposal
• Review in a small group possible research questions (3-4) that might emerge for you
• Are they linked to the main issue?
• Why these and not others?
![Page 28: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Research methods:Methodology: Conceptual issues
• The validity arose from the cyclic layering of description, analysis and testing of possible explanations by reference again and again to the data and experience of members of the team
– Read for yourselves
• Ken Smith may well differ (e reserve material)

40
Research methods:Collecting the data
• Operationalising your research questions if needs be?– What data can be collected that will illuminate the
question?
• Setting up the data collecting process– From who or what and why these?– With what? – How?– When?– Will it cost too much?
![Page 41: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Research methods:Collecting the data
• Data collection techniques– surveys / questionnaires– focus groups– interviews (structured, semi structured, unstructured)– tests– document analysis– participant observation– journals
![Page 42: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Research methods:Collecting the data

46
Research methods: Ethics
• Ethics forms– available from http://www.acu.edu.au/forms.cfm#research
• At least two platforms to think about ethics;– the official one:
• read through the guidelines carefully
• do what they say
• you can submit the final form of interview questions, etc. later
– the personnel one:• do you feel comfortable with what you are doing?
![Page 47: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Research methods: Ethics and other administrative matters
• What ethical issues may confront you with your project?

50
Research methods: Analysing the data, reporting & other matters
• The analysis will be structured by the research questions
• This is not a fishing trip for what might be there
• This is directive looking for what might be there
• When possible link back directly to studies referred to in the literature review
![Page 51: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Research methods: Analysing the data, reporting & other matters
• Look at each set of data individually
• Is this set clean?
• Are there any provisos in reading this set of data?
• Are you interested in the middle ground, the edge, both of these?
• Repeat for other sets
![Page 52: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Research methods: Analysing the data, reporting & other matters
• Bring the different sets together in a way that progresses your investigation
• What is demanded by the research questions?
• What techniques have others used who have worked in your area?
• What techniques have others used who have worked outside of your area, but they might be applicable?
• You must justify what you do!
![Page 53: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Research methods: Analysing the data, reporting & other matters
• Narrative data:– Do you chose to impose a structure (we did in PNG)?– Do you wish to look for the emergent (but there are
limits)?– Can you do both?
![Page 54: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Research methods: Analysing the data, reporting & other matters
• Items in …– Do they link to something in the literature reviewed?– If not, why is this item there?
– Do you request the gender of the respondent?– WHY?
![Page 55: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
55
Research methods: Analysing the data, reporting & other matters
• Case studies
– A case study is not, “just because you are working with a small number of …”
– The structure you give to reporting each study will allow generalities across the contexts to emerge
![Page 56: Research Methods Overview of two day program. 2 Research methods: Overview Designing the study Developing the project Methodology: conceptual matters](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081518/551ad18555034656628b614c/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Research methods: Analysing the data, reporting & other matters
• Reporting
– Who is your audience?– A thesis is not an essay, a novel, a journal article, a
