    JACKSON: CHOOSING A METHODOLOGY: PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERPINNING Choosing a Methodology: Philosophical Practitioner Research Underpinning In Higher Education Copyright © 2013 University of Cumbria Vol 7 (1) pages 49-62 Elizabeth Jackson University of Cumbria [email protected] Abstract As a university lecturer, I find that a frequent question raised by Masters students concerns the methodology chosen for research and the rationale required in dissertations. This paper unpicks some of the philosophical coherence that can inform choices to be made regarding methodology and a well-thought out rationale that can add to the rigour of a research project. It considers the conceptual framework for research including the ontological and epistemological perspectives that are pertinent in choosing a methodology and subsequently the methods to be used. The discussion is exemplified using a concrete example of a research project in order to contextualise theory within practice. Key words Ontology; epistemology; positionality; relationality; methodology; method. Introduction This paper arises from work with students writing Masters dissertations who frequently express confusion and doubt about how appropriate methodology is chosen for research. It will be argued here that consideration of philosophical underpinning can be crucial for both shaping research design and for explaining approaches taken in order to support credibility of research outcomes. It is beneficial, within the unique context of the research, for the researcher to carefully

  • Choosing a Mixed Methods Design
    04-Creswell (Designing)-45025.qxd 5/16/2006 8:35 PM Page 58 CHAPTER 4 CHOOSING A MIXED METHODS DESIGN esearch designs are procedures for collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and reporting data in research studies. They represent different mod- R els for doing research, and these models have distinct names and procedures associated with them. Rigorous research designs are important because they guide the methods decisions that researchers must make dur- ing their studies and set the logic by which they make interpretations at the end of studies. Once a researcher has selected a mixed methods approach for a study, the next step is to decide on the specific design that best addresses the research problem. What designs are available, and how do researchers decide which one is appropriate for their studies? Mixed methods researchers need to be acquainted with the major types of mixed methods designs and the common variants among these designs. Important considerations when choosing designs are knowing the intent, the procedures, and the strengths and challenges associated with each design. Researchers also need to be familiar with the timing, weighting, and mixing decisions that are made in each of the different mixed methods designs. This chapter will address • The classifications of designs in the literature • The four major types of mixed methods designs, including their intent, key procedures, common variants, and inherent strengths and challenges 58 04-Creswell (Designing)-45025.qxd 5/16/2006 8:35 PM Page 59 Choosing a Mixed Methods Design–●–59 • Factors such as timing, weighting, and mixing, which influence the choice of an appropriate design CLASSIFICATIONS OF MIXED METHODS DESIGNS Researchers benefit from being familiar with the numerous classifications of mixed methods designs found in the literature.

  • 3 Research Philosophy and Research Design
    Research Philosophy 3 and Research Design Introduction In the introductory chapter, developing self-awareness was a key pro- cess outlined and it was stated that it is possible you have assumed that the way you view the world is the same as the way that everybody else views the world. The term ‘common sense’ was used in this discussion. We noted then, you could believe it is common sense that the way you look at the world is the same way that others look at it. However, we also saw earlier that one person’s common sense is not necessarily the same as another’s! If we accept that there are likely to be differences between people’s view of the world, it may not come as a surprise that the way some researchers view the world, is very different from other’s views. Research philosophies The idea that there are different views of the world, and the processes that operate within it, is part of what is known as philosophy. Philosophy is concerned with views about how the world works and, as an academic subject, focuses, primarily, on reality, knowledge and existence. Our individual view of the world is closely linked to what we perceive as reality. On a day-to-day basis outside of your academic work, it would be unusual to think often about the way you perceive reality and the world around you. However, in relation to your dissertation, it is very important to realise how you perceive reality. Your individual percep- tion of reality affects how you gain knowledge of the world, and how you act within it.

  • Theoretically Comparing Design Thinking to Design Methods for Large- Scale Infrastructure Systems
    The Fifth International Conference on Design Creativity (ICDC2018) Bath, UK, January 31st – February 2nd 2018 THEORETICALLY COMPARING DESIGN THINKING TO DESIGN METHODS FOR LARGE- SCALE INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS M.A. Guerra1 and T. Shealy1 1Civil Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, USA Abstract: Design of new and re-design of existing infrastructure systems will require creative ways of thinking in order to meet increasingly high demand for services. Both the theory and practice of design thinking helps to exploit opposing ideas for creativity, and also provides an approach to balance stakeholder needs, technical feasibility, and resource constraints. This study compares the intent and function of five current design strategies for infrastructure with the theory and practice of design thinking. The evidence suggests the function and purpose of the later phases of design thinking, prototyping and testing, are missing from current design strategies for infrastructure. This is a critical oversight in design because designers gain much needed information about the performance of the system amid user behaviour. Those who design infrastructure need to explore new ways to incorporate feedback mechanisms gained from prototyping and testing. The use of physical prototypes for infrastructure may not be feasible due to scale and complexity. Future research should explore the use of prototyping and testing, in particular, how virtual prototypes could substitute the experience of real world installments and how this influences design cognition among designers and stakeholders. Keywords: Design thinking, design of infrastructure systems 1. Introduction Infrastructure systems account for the vast majority of energy use and associated carbon emissions in the United States (US EPA, 2014).

  • CBPR Charrette Fact Sheet
    CBPR Charrette Fact Sheet CBPR Charrettes: An Expert Guided Process for Strengthening Community-Academic Partnerships University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) Project Background The NC Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute (TraCS), home of UNC’s Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) and the UNC Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP), home of UNC’s CDC-funded Prevention Research Center (PRC), received two supplement grants to launch Community Leadership and Reciprocal Development: Advancing Community-Engaged Research at Two CTSA Institutions in collaboration with Vanderbilt’s Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (VICTR). The goal of this project was to expand and accelerate both institutions’ capacity to advance community-engaged research, by 1) drawing on the expertise of community partners working with our respective institutions, and, 2) initiating a cross-institution partnership to share expertise, develop resources, and disseminate new knowledge and approaches. At UNC we provide technical assistance through a “charrette” process to advance the adoption and successful implementation of community- based participatory research (CBPR) among community and academic partnership teams. What is a charrette? A “charrette” is a collaborative planning process most often used in design and architecture that harnesses the talents and energies of all interested parties to create and support a feasible plan to bring about community development and transformation (www.nationalcharretteinstitute.org). This project adapts the charrette concept to build the capacity of community-academic partnerships to use a CBPR approach to address the health needs of communities. Our “CBPR Charrettes” are comprised of focused guidance sessions for community-academic partnership (CAP) teams to address issues or questions identified by the partnership.

  • Understanding Concepts and Values for the Future of Online Education Through the Practice of Design
    Understanding Concepts and Values for the Future of Online Education through the Practice of Design Michael Marcinkowski, the Pennsylvania State University Fred Fonseca, the Pennsylvania State University Abstract The rise of interest in online education from pedagogical, administrative, and technological perspectives presents numerous possibilities and challenges for researchers and practitioners, the most basic of which is the fundamental question of the determination of the concepts, categories, and values used to guide their work within this rapidly developing field. Drawing from contemporary discussions of the possibility for the instantiation of values and categories in the work of design, critical approaches to questions of technology and conceptual development surrounding the design of technological systems are discussed. It is argued that current value driven approaches to technological design, when refined and considered through a logic of conceptual deconstruction, offer a broad and open basis from which the direction of online education can best be considered. In the formulation of such an approach, general lessons for interaction design and information science as a whole can be found.

  • Media Ecology and Value Sensitive Design: a Combined Approach to Understanding the Biases of Media Technology
    Proceedings of the Media Ecology Association, Volume 6, 2005 Media Ecology and Value Sensitive Design: A Combined Approach to Understanding the Biases of Media Technology Michael Zimmer New York University In recent years, a field known as value sensitive design has emerged to identify, understand, anticipate, and address the ethical and value biases of media and information technologies. Upon developing a dialectical model of how bias exists in technology, this paper makes a case for the dual relevance of value sensitive design to media ecology. I argue that bringing the two approaches together would be mutually beneficial, resulting in richer investigations into the biases in media technologies. Media Ecology and Value Sensitive Design: A Combined Approach to Understanding the Biases of Media Technology N his book Technopoly, Neil Postman (1992) remarked how “we are surrounded by the wondrous effects of machines and are encouraged to ignore the ideas embedded in them. I Which means we become blind to the ideological meaning of our technologies” (p. 94). It has been the goal of many scholars of media technology to remove these blinders and critically explore the ideological biases embedded within the material forms of media technologies. This endeavor forms the foundation of media ecology, an approach to studying media technology that Postman helped to establish. The goal of media ecological scholarship is to uncover and understand “how the form and inherent biases of communication media help create the environment . in which people symbolically construct the world they come to know and understand, as well as its social, economic, political, and cultural consequences” (Lum, 2000, p.
