Qual Lab Report Q&A by Stephen Dewitt https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k en-us 2022-03-21 08:49:47 UTC 2023-04-12 21:54:32 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f432.png https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525786423 Data file 17 has 4 paragraphs - the latter 3 of which are from data file 18? Is this the same participant or does data file 17 include participants 17 and 18 ]]> 2023-03-21 17:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525786423 https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525789878 How relevant are participants' feelings and emotions about feeling part or not part of a community? This was asked in the survey, hence lots of participants discussed why their feelings towards certain communities were positive, negative etc. and things like pride came up a few times e.g. feeling proud to be part of UCL. But I'm not sure how relevant this is to the research questions?]]> 2023-03-21 17:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525789878 https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525791920 Do all themes have to address each research question at one? For example if you had a theme addressing a reason why people didn't feel part of a community, this may not be directly addressing the extent to which students feel part of a community or what communities they feel part of. ]]> 2023-03-21 17:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525791920 https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525795864 Is the title of the lab report the broad or specific research question? I also don't understand how to clearly state the research questions as required in the mark scheme without just plagiarising the title of the lab report?]]> 2023-03-21 17:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525795864 https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525797408 As the methods section of the mark scheme just says to describe the various aspects, does this mean no justifications are necessary?]]> 2023-03-21 17:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2525797408 https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2527493697 Do we write our report using ‘I’ or keep it less personal? For example, in the positionality statement, should we say “I am a university student” or “The researcher who has analysed the data is a university student.”?]]> 2023-03-22 16:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2527493697 https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528595442 is coding supposed to be for the smallest stuff or can they be very broad? e.g. if one sentence in one code has 2 points

]]> 2023-03-23 10:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528596040 Is there any scope to write about things only mentioned by one participant or is this cherry picking? https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528596215 2023-03-23 10:17:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528596215 Do all codes have to fit into all the themes we create/ what do we do with any 'miscellaneous/ outlier' codes which may not fit into the themes we have created? https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528597026 2023-03-23 10:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528597026 Are we supposed to relate things back to broader psychological concepts? For example, if someone mentions feeling like an outsider, can we mention social identity theory? https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528601077 2023-03-23 10:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528601077 Is there any limit to how long coded lines should be? Also if the meaning of the sentence isn't clear in isolation do we code more to contextualise the quote (or are specifics like this not important when coding) https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528602619 2023-03-23 10:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528602619 So do we say there are 17 participants instead of 18? https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528602862 2023-03-23 10:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528602862 With the participants question, I mean because of the repetition of the data in 17 and 18 - 18 is the same data as 17. https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528606427 2023-03-23 10:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528606427 format https://padlet.com/dewittsh/am59xpks96nse87k/wish/2528606950 do we need to have a format?
