Things to do w/c 26 August

26/8/2013

For this week:
  • Block dates out in my diary for September and October
  • Start to collect next set of questions for Sian
  • Continue adding tags to old blog posts
  • Re-read Dissertation Handbook with a view selecting which section to focus on - perhaps methodology
  • Read the paper that Sian sent on creative critical analytical practice
  • Order a copy of Sian's book with McAvinia and Land chapters in
  • Continue thinking and collecting ideas for dissemination, particularly videos while they're fresh in my mind


I don't have as much flexibility/time available for study for this week so it's going to be a challenge to achieve all of the above.

Things to do w/c 19 AugustĀ

Back into more structured study-mode after a couple of months (ouch!) of creative, thinking, holiday and work time:

  1. Transfer and write up ideas from iPad that I collected on holiday
  2. Work up notes on ideas I had earlier today on the drive out to Balerno
  3. Collate all the paper material I've collected and write up/expand any outstanding written notes
  4. Write up my notes from my last meeting with Sian
  5. Tidy up or create a new place to collect or bookmark (or just make a note of) resources I need to read
  6. Go back and add tags to early posts on this blog (in fact, that'll be quite a lot of posts)

I'll be doing well if I get all of this done.

Plan for this week: looking through data

20/5/2013

Step 0: Background preparation
  • Read through Robson's guidance on qualitative interview data analysis
  • Read through the relevant part of the dissertation guide to remind myself what I'm supposed to be doing

Step 1: Saving and reading  
  • I'll save clean copies of each transcript and print each out.
  • I'll read three times through each of the seven interview transcripts.

Step 2: Reflecting on emergent themes in relation to research questions and literature
  • I'll look back over my research questions.
  • I'll think about common themes that have emerged from the transcripts, particularly in relation to the research questions. I won't get bogged down by looking at non-directly relevant information, however interesting it is.

Step 3a: Synthesis
  • I'll put the common themes into some form of grid - paper or digital, probably the latter. I need to get the column titles right before the second part of this step...
  • I'll add the relevant sections/quotes from each interview into the relevant columns.


If I manage all this, I'll have had a really effective week, dependent on the quality of the emergent themes. Next week I'll try and draw some conclusions.
