How To Write A Conceptual Framework For Qualitative Research

*(note, no spaces in absolute email address)   

Tues. 4:30-9:20 – EDB 7610                             Class e-List: r-list@sfu.ca

This advance is about the “doing” of qualitative assay as a practical, ethically adapted assurance in “knowing, accomplishing and being”. Investigating, interrogating and interpreting values, meanings and purposes bond and taken abundantly for accustomed in the advance and conduct of accustomed action is what distinguishes the abstraction of animal action from all added forms of inquiry.  It is because questions of value, acceptation and bureau anatomy the amount of such assay that, for qualitative researchers, epistemological and ethical issues assemble in the actual abstraction of what it is to conduct research.

Class activities will accommodate a guided apprenticeship into basal assay practices, including observations, ethical review, fieldnotes, interviews, abstracts interpretation, analysis, advertisement and write-up. Students will apprehend admirable assay studies, and will adduce and admit a abstraction of their own. Questions such as “What affectionate of adventure does this assay tell?”, “Whose adventure is told, how, by whom, and for whose benefit?”, How can qualitative assay accompany ‘validity’?,  will adviser a absolute assay into abreast qualitative assay methodologies, methods and processes in education. We will additionally accede agency in which assay practices are technologically reconfigured, and how this abstruse re-mediation ability appulse aloft qualitative assay methods and practices.

“From the angle point of the colonized, a position from which I write, and accept to privilege, the appellation ‘research’ is accordingly affiliated to European imperialism and colonialism.  The chat itself, ‘research’, is apparently one of the dirtiest words in the aboriginal world’s vocabulary.” Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Decolonizing Methodologies, p.1

 “Of advance best aboriginal bodies and their communities do not differentiate accurate of ‘proper’ assay from the forms of abecedarian collecting, journalistic approaches, blur making, or added agency of ‘taking’ aboriginal ability that accept occurred so accidentally over the centuries. From some aboriginal perspectives the acquisition of advice by scientists was as random, ad hoc, and damaging as that undertaken by amateurs.  There was no difference, from these perspectives, amid ‘real’ or accurate assay and any added visits by analytic and avaricious strangers.” Decolonizing Methodologies, p. 3
