Exercise 4
1. Write up the data :
- choose typical examples?
significant examples?
- attempt to 'exhaust the
data' by giving an account of a whole transcript?
- 'disclose' problems with
the data, with your own objectivity and the impact you may have had on
the data?
2.
Evaluate
data gained and interpretations made of them:
- critically
reflect on — design,
implementation, recording data
- summarise the main pros
and cons of the techniques by referring to the literature ( eg
Cicourel, Clough)
- compare results from any
other relevant studies
- attempt 'triangulation'
with other observers
- consider 'respondent
validity' checks (ie ask the participants to evaluate your findings)
