Photovoice
A participatory research methodology/strategy articulated by Caroline Wang and Mary Anne Burris
Engaging with outsiders communities
Using visuals to explicate one’s narrative

Photo elicitation
Method of interview in visual sociology and marketing research that uses visual images (photographs, video, paintings, animations, cartoons, graffiti...) to elicit comments, to provide better examples, to highlight a point or make it more interesting
A qualitative research technique
Visuals can be brought by the interviewer as well as by the interviewee

The practitioner-researcher is «  someone who holds down a job in a particular area and at the same time carries out enquiry which is of relevance to the job » (Robson, 1993 referenced by Gray and Malins, 2013. Visualizing Research. Farnham: Ashgare Publishing Ltd )

Practitioners who engage in action research strive to improve their practice as a direct result of the research (Thornton, 2013. Artist Researcher Teacher. Intellect: Chicago)

Narrative enquiry relies on storytelling, gathering data for the purposes of research.

It uses primary source materials: written, oral or visual - for example, personal histories, autobiography, photography, interview field notes, conversations, recordings etc.

It captures personal and human dimensions of experience over time, and takes account of the relationship between individual experience and cultural context.

·               A case study can be a simple act of description, an account of something that happened. Case study research as a methodology has guidelines and has a lot of rigour behind it.

·               Case study research is very adaptable to different areas of inquiry – this is perhaps a key difference between case study research and ethnography.

·               Case study research is qualitative and methods used include documentation, interviews and observation.

·               The key text (Robert K Yin, Case study research) contains a lot of diagrams and guidelines for data collection, analysis, etc

a problem solving methodology for change
>Practitioner led - something you are involved in.

Aimed at changing your own practice or organisation

DEVELOPED FROM: a dissatisfaction with positivist approaches and a desire to use the immediate experiences of practitioners.
It is self-critical and
self-reflective
> collaborative - HOW?

> Eclecticism is a feature (can use mixed methods?)

> relationship to organisational change?

Autoethnography is a form of qualitative research in which an author uses self-reflection and writing to explore anecdotal and personal experience. The researcher then connects this to cultural, political and social contexts; it is about being both outward and inward looking on the part of the researcher.

It is usually written in the first person and examples of genre include poetry, short-stories, personal essays, journals, fiction.

1.       Inquiry through creative practice privileges such things as play, intuition, serendipity, imagination and unexpected resources for making sense. (Creative research methods in the social sciences)

2.       There is increasing acceptance of the idea that artists can conduct research in the process of producing art, and that the resulting artwork can be a valid research output in itself. (Creative research methods in the social sciences)

3.       Studying our practice yields to benefits so it holds up principles of education against real world processes. (Heuristics). It can inform the development of tools and processes in those practices. (Rethinking Pedagogy for a Digital Age)

4.       More accessible route to research for creative practitioners. Everyone has the right to artistic activity, which is usefully experimental and promotes creative thought. (Creative research methods in the social sciences)

Leigh, Adam, Rachel
Simple terms:  up-close, in-depth and detailed examination of an individual, organisation, event or action

Investigates a phenomenon in its real-life context. Originated in clinical medicine

A strong sense of time or place (Example a core sample in ice)

Not a research method in itself but a collection of methods - May involve several methods

Interview, questionnaires,

Limitation of Case studies

Can't be generic or generalised– you can’t generalise the results to the wider population

Time consuming

Difficult to replicate

Strengths of Case studies

Permitting investigation of otherwise impractical or unethical situations.

Exploratory research – can help generate new ideas

Holistic and humanistic approach
