The authors do the process of analysing and synthesising qualitative data, and as Burns also explains we could say that they do it with an “emic” approach, as they look at data from the perspectives of people closely involved in the research context and analyse their opinions and views exactly as we find them. In this case, they do so by “(…) using an online blogging platform. After the event, all 20 students participated in semi-structured videoed interviews. (…) The data was analysed to identify emerging themes in the written blogs and interview transcripts. A post-project questionnaire was distributed to participants”

We can say, after reading the findings and conclusions, that they are able to keep the pedagogical focus of the research in mind.

We can identify this AR investigation as Burns says is part of an on-going cycle, we can say that the teachers “have selected certain issues that were problematic or challenging and given them special attention”.

We can observe how throughout the process of the AR, the teachers collect data using different resources as they analyse it in different ways. They plan and move forward on their investigation. We can see that they follow certain steps as Burns states, such as:

1.       Assembling your data: Collect all the data you have as well as any ongoing reflections

2.        Coding the data: coding your data into more specific patterns or categories (coding is discussed in more detail in the next sections

3.       Comparing the data: Once your coding is complete, compare the categories or patterns across your different sets of data

4.       Building meanings and interpretations:  Look for more abstract ‘big picture’ concepts

5.       Reporting the outcomes: how you can present your research and what you have found to tell others.

In this research and in its findings we could observe that the researchers made a full analysis of the data collected by identifying emerging themes in the written transcripts and with the post questionnaire which confirm the validity of the emergent themes.

When doing that, the researchers interpreted data bearing in mind what Smith and Rblledo says regarding the process to get the findings, that data plus analysis will give them the findings.

When trying to uncover what benefits students perceived after participating in the project based learning researchers were noticing changes and trying to interpret data and its implications in their aims with this AR.

As Smith and Rebolledo says, discovering findings will give us the meaning of something, by answering what are the benefits or findings for your practice and in relation to the questions asked.

It is  remarkable how they do collaborative work and also how they engage students on important topics such as cancer or practicing outside class mixing with different nationalities and doing charity activity for cancer research.

These students and researchers were sharing their project to the rest of the community, something that enabled them to enrich their findings,  to join wider communities and also to meet other individuals with similar interests, having the opportunity to discuss different points of view.
