This method of data collection must ensure that participants should have something in

common consisting of 5-12 people per group with due consideration of the demographics of

participants.

This is the first stage of the in-depth interview process whereby you clarify the

purpose of the interviews and determine what you want to find out.

Involves creating a written text of the interviews.

This step involves bringing together all of your information-gathering approaches into

one written form.

It refers to the first stage in participant observation where the researcher begins the process with general

questions of interest – these questions will evolve throughout the research

process.

Field notes which are recorded in the field notebooks are data records of which data collection procedure?

Which of the following is NOT a role of a moderator?

Which stage in the in-depth interview where triangulation as a means of checks and balances is employed?

This is an important step in the in-depth interview which involves determining the meaning

of the information gathered about the purpose of the study.

This data collection technique involves the researcher "getting to know" the

people they're studying by entering their world and participating in that world.

Participant Observation involves the researcher "getting to know" the people they're studying by entering their world and participating in that world.

Observation maybe covert (secret) or overt (open). This means you put yourself "in the shoes" of the people you're studying in an attempt to experience events in the way they experience them.

Participant Observation usually involves observation over an extended period. The observer must, however, maintain objectivity to understand, analyze, and explain the social world under study.

Participant Observation is Qualitative rather than quantitative - the observer gains a deeper understanding of the group being observed.

Floor Exercise - the researcher begins the process with general questions of interest - these questions will evolve throughout the research process

Warm Up period includes Sampling, Constructing Field Notes and Visual Records, Making ethical decisions. Triangulating sources of data.

Warm Up period - data gathering is complete when saturation has been achieved. When data are repetitive and interpretations refined, saturation has been achieved.

The main tool in Participant Observation is Field Notes.

A focus group discussion is an open-ended, discovery-oriented method that is well suited for describing both program processes and outcomes from the perspective of the target audience or key stakeholder.

In focus group discussion, researchers engage with participants by neutrally posing questions, listening attentively to participants' responses, and asking follow-up questions and probes based on those responses.

Thematizing is the first stage in an in-depth interview, whereby you clarify the purpose of the interviews and determine what you want to find out. Make an outline of the questions and sub-questions.

Designing is the last stage in In-depth Interview.

Focus Group Discussion (FGD), participants should have something in common, with 5-12 per group. Carefully consider demographics of participants.

The focus in Participant Observation are Themes - key answers then allow them to discuss and expound.

Role of Co-Moderator: Is mentally prepared; Uses purposeful small talk; Provides a smooth introduction of 3-5 minutes; Uses pauses and probes; Controls his/her reactions; Uses subtle group control; Uses appropriate conclusion.
