How to Gauge the Relevance of Codes in Qualitative Data Analysis? - A Technique Based on Information Retrieval

Qualitative research has experienced broad acceptance in the IS discipline. Despite the merits for exploring new phenomena, qualitative methods are criticized for their subjectivity when it comes to interpretation. Therefore, research mostly emphasized the development of criteria and guidelines for good practice. I present an approach to counteract the issue of credibility and traceability in qualitative data analysis and expand the repertoire of approaches used in IS research. I draw on an existing approach from the information science discipline and adapt it to analyze coded qualitative data. The developed approach is designed to answer questions about the specific relevance of codes and aims to support the researcher in detecting hidden information in the coded material. For this reason, the paper contributes to the IS methodology with bringing new insights to current methods by enhancing them with an approach from another discipline

Replicability and comprehensibility of social research and its technical implementation

"This paper is a contribution to the methodological and technical discussion of social research infrastructure. The main question is how to store and manage data in a way that meets the increasing demand for secondary data analysis in both quantitative and qualitative social science research. The first two sections focus mainly on aspects of data documentation, in particular on the unification of various documentation requirements that have arisen across ongoing projects of the SFB 882. While the aim of documenting quantitative research processes is to ensure replicability, the aim of documenting qualitative projects is to maintain the understandability and informative value of research data. In the third section a virtual research environment (VRE) is presented that provides both a generic work platform and a project-specific research platform. The work platform bundles IT resources by bringing together various tools for administration, project management, and time- and location-independent collaboration in a single environment adapted to researchers' specific work processes. The research component combines data management with further developments in social science methodologies. It provides services for the archiving and reuse of data and enables the infrastructural and methodological coordination of data documentation. We also introduce a documentation scheme for qualitative and quantitative social research within the SFB 882. This scheme considers the specific requirements of research projects within the SFB, such as different methods (e.g. panel analysis, experimental approaches, ethnography, and interview research), project work, and requirements of longterm research."

Patriotism and Global Citizenship as Values: A Research on Social Studies Teacher Candidates

The ultimate aim of teaching Social Studies is to raise good citizens. However, raising “good” citizens has become a more complicated issue since the continuous change in social dynamics demands continual revisions on curriculums. Beyond the question of “Should the children be raised as patriot individuals?” a growing number of studies conducted on Education Science concentrate on the notion of Global Citizenship. The purpose of Social Studies’ education process is not bringing up students who are isolated from society and are blind patriots. Then the question arises, what type of citizenship should be developed within the education system? This research aims to put forward the notion of global citizenship and patriotism as each of them is a value within the Social Studies course that has the mission of bringing up good citizens. The research is the model case study. The data about patriotism is collected through the scale that are developed by Schatz, Staub and Levine (1999) which is called, Patriotism Attitude Scale (PAS), on the other side, the data about global citizenship is collected through the scale developed by Morais and Ogden (2011) which is called Global Citizen Scale (GCS) collected from the participants. The research study group consist of 144 Social Studies teacher candidates who are from two different state universities, who are in their senior grade. The research data includes quantitative and qualitative data. In the analysis of the quantitative data, a computer-aided statistic program is used and in the analysis of qualitative data, content-analysis method was used. The research’s conclusion shows that the participants prefer patriotism over global citizenship and constructive patriotism against blind patriotism. Keywords: Social Studies, Values Education, Patriotism, Global Citizenshi

Middle and High School Science Teachers\u27 Attitudes toward Nanotechnology and Intention to Implement it in Science Classrooms

This study was designed to determine the relationship between attitudes toward nanotechnology and the intention of implementing it in science classrooms; to detect the relationship between attitudes and other influential factors (knowledge and self-confidence, professional development, professional context, personal research experience, and personal practice of bringing nanotechnology in science classrooms); to highlight the salient attitudes of science teachers toward nanotechnology and implementing its related content, materials, and activities in science classrooms; and to identify the salient factors that would facilitate the process of integrating nanotechnology in science classrooms.;Science Teachers\u27 Attitudes toward Nanotechnology (STAT-N) survey and semi-structured interview were both used to collect data. Correlation was conducted to explore the relationship between attitudes and intention, and between attitudes and the above mentioned factors. The grounded theory approach was applied to identify science teachers\u27 salient attitudes toward nanotechnology and implementing it in science classrooms, and to determine the facilitators that would help with the process of implementing nanotechnology in science classrooms. Regression analysis was also used to identify the facilitators that would help science teachers with integrating nanotechnology in science classrooms.;Statistical analyses revealed a statistically significant relationship between attitudes and intention, p \u3c .05; statistically significant relationships between attitudes and the other influential factors (knowledge and self-confidence, professional development, professional context, personal research experience, and personal practice of bringing nanotechnology in science classrooms), p \u3c .05; and that all of these factors but attitudes and research were statistically significant factors in predicting and teachers\u27 intention of implementing nanotechnology in science classrooms. Professional development (PD) factor was the best predictor (beta = .32) among other factors.;Qualitative results unfolded that attitudes toward nanotechnology and its implementation in science classrooms are influenced by personal perspectives and by inhibiting factors that are related to school and student type, curriculum determinants, time constraints, social influences, lack of resources, lack of PD, lack of knowledge and self-confidence. Facilitators were offered to address some of these limiting factors

STUDI LITERATUR DAMPAK MENGHADIRKAN KELUARGA UNTUK MENYAKSIKAN DAN MENDAMPINGI PROSES RESUSITASI PADA PASIEN DI UNIT GAWAT DARURAT DAN ICU

Background: Resuscitation is a technique that is very useful for saving lives in emergencies when a heart attack occurs suddenly and the heartbeat stops. The purpose of writing this research is to find out how the literature review has on the impact of bringing the family to witness and accompany the resuscitation process for patients in the Emergency Room and ICU. Methods: This research uses the Literature Review method with literature sources using the Google Scholar, BMC, Pubmed, and Science Direct databases. Of the 14.916 articles, 10 articles were found that met the inclusion criteria such as research methods such as cohort study, qualitative, cross-sectional, RCT, full text articles published in the last 10 years (2015-2024). Study quality writing using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Data analysis uses thematic analysis. Results: There are 3 articles that explain that health workers feel disturbed by the presence of family, 8 articles explain the benefits of family presence, and 2 articles explain the success of families during resuscitation. Discussion: based on 10 articles that have been analyzed, there are different responses and opinions from family members and health professionals, namely nurses and doctors. Then the level of resuscitation success witnessed by the family during resuscitation had no effect starting from the return of spontaneous circulation to the survival rate and neurological status of the patient who survived. Including the duration of resuscitation carried out on patients who survived and those who did not survive also had no effect (between hospitals with an FPDR policy and hospitals without a policy)

Pembelajaran Kontekstual IPA melalui Outdoor Learning di SDN 1 Keruak Lombok Timur

This study aims to describe and analyze contextual science learning at SDN 1 Keruak, describe and analyze outdoor learning at SDN 1 Keruak, and describe and analyze contextual science learning through outdoor learning at SDN 1 Keruak. This study used a qualitative approach with case study design. The data was collected by means of interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, checking the validity of the findings by extending the participation of researchers and triangulation. Research informants were the principal, educators and students. The results showed that: (1) science learning using contextual learning models could improve students' understanding of concepts. Because in the application of the contextual learning model, the teacher connects the knowledge obtained by students with the knowledge that students have previously had and the teacher also connects the material with the real world of students, namely by bringing objects that they often encounter to be used as learning media so that it can help facilitate students in conceptualizing science material; (2) the outdoor learning approach is an alternative science learning that is in accordance with the spirit of learning science, namely how to find out and develop students' scientific skills. In addition, through the outdoor learning approach, various potential students have the opportunity to develop more optimally because there is real interaction between students and the real world; and (3) contextual learning in science learning is not only carried out in the classroom (Indoor), but mostly done outside the classroom (Outdoor). So that students more easily understand the material that has been delivered by the teacher, students can more quickly grasp the meaning of science learning, students do meaningful work, students are able to work together in groups, and students are more critical and creative in reporting in science learning

Encountering #Feminism on Twitter:Reflections on a research collaboration between social scientists and computer scientists

The growth of social media presents an unparalleled opportunity for the study of social change. However, the speed and scale of this growth presents challenges for social scientists, particularly those whose methodologies tend to rely on the qualitative analysis of data that are gathered firsthand. Alongside the growth of social media, companies have emerged which have developed tools for interrogating ‘big data’, although often unconnected from social scientists. It is self-evident that collaboration between social scientists and social media analysis companies offers the potential for developing methods for analysing social change on large scales, bringing together their respective expertise in technological innovations and knowledge of social science. What is less well known is how such a partnership might work in practice. This article presents an example of such a collaboration, highlighting the opportunities and challenges that arose in the context of an exploration of feminism on Twitter. As will be shown, machine-learning technologies allow the analysis of data on a scale that would be impossible for human analysts, yet such approaches also heighten challenges regarding the study of social change and communication. </jats:p

Annotation of Musical Scores: Interaction and Use Behaviours of Performing Musicians

This qualitative research study was an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the interaction and use behaviors of performing musicians. Through qualitative data analysis of 25 musician interviews, and 193 musical scores (or parts), representing over 25,000 separate annotations, this project uncovered the motivations, necessary knowledge, and methods by which musicians annotate and thereby internalize the instructions set out in the score. The aggregate data from the interviews and data analysis provide the basis for understanding annotation's utility for future users, and the development of more robust and useful music digital library tools and systems. This research also has the more general and theoretical applicability for those interested in how humans interact with interpretable, structured, largely symbolic and formalized information. Bringing together practical applications and theoretical concerns, the findings generated by this research will have wide effect in the Information Science community
