Looking back at this exciting, inspiring, and challenging time, I distinctly remember many ups, while the downs seem almost forgotten. To a large extent, I attribute this to the wonderful people that I got to meet along the way, who never failed to make my time as a PhD student and as an IT consultant fun. Certainly, I want to thank my mentor and PhD supervisor Prof. Dr. Alexander M¨adche, for his guidance, inspiration, and feedback throughout my studies. While I did not know what to expect when I started my position at the institute, I quickly learned how lucky I was with my choice of a supervisor. Alexander always had an open door for my questions, ideas, and concerns. He also actively seeked updates on my process and encourage me to submit my research to prestigious outlets. I am incredibly grateful for your support. On that note, I also want to thank Prof. Dr. Paola Spoletini, Prof. Dr. Hagen Lindst¨adt, and Prof. Dr.

  • Ethnography As an Inquiry Process in Social Science
    ETHNOGRAPHY AS AN INQUIRY PROCESS IN SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH Ganga Ram Gautam ABSTRACT This article is an attempt to present the concept of ethnography as a qualitative inquiry process in social science research. The paper begins with the introduction to ethnography followed by the discussion of ethnography both as an approach and a research method. It then illustrates how ethnographic research is carried out using various ethnographic methods that include participant observation, interviewing and collection of the documents and artifacts. Highlighting the different ways of organizing, analyzing and writing ethnographic data, the article suggests ways of writing the ethnographic research. THE INQUIRY PROCESS Inquiry process begins consciously and/or subconsciously along with the beginning of human life. The complex nature of our life, problems and challenges that we encounter both in personal and professional lives and the several unanswered questions around us make us think and engage in the inquiry process. Depending upon the nature of the work that one does and the circumstances around them, people choose the inquiry process that fits into their inquiry framework that is built upon the context they are engaged in. This inquiry process in education is termed as research and research in education has several dimensions. The inquiry process in education is also context dependent and it is driven by the nature of the inquiry questions that one wants to answer. UNDERSTANDING ETHNOGRAPHY Ethnography, as a form of qualitative research, has now emerged as one of the powerful means to study human life and social behavior across the globe. Over the past fifteen years there has been an upsurge of ethnographic work in British educational research, making ethnography the most commonly practiced qualitative research method.

Sa rédaction s’inscrit dans une démarche engagée depuis fin 2018 par Muriel Pommier afin de recenser les besoins des doctorant.e.s, ingénieur.e.s, chercheur.se.s et enseignant.e.s-chercheur.se.s du Centre Max Weber en matière d’analyse qualitative et de trouver comment y répondre. La consultation par voie de questionnaire (2019) montre que plus d'une trentaine de membres du CMW affirment l’intention d'utiliser un outil d’aide à l’analyse qualitative pour leur activité de recherche, à la condition d'être formé.e.s à un logiciel en raison de la complexité technique perçue de ce type d'outil3. Par la suite, une formation interne au CMW intitulée « Les logiciels d’aide à l’analyse qualitative (CAQDAS). Prise en main et réflexivité méthodologique. Découvrir et s’initier aux logiciels d’aide à l’analyse qualitative » (d’une durée de 6 heures) assurée par Thibaut Rioufreyt a été organisée le 23 septembre 20204.

INTRODUÇÃO Conforme retratado por Gil (2008), até a segunda metade do século XIX o estudo do homem e da sociedade esteve com os teólogos e filósofos; e, a partir desse período, com motivação tanto política quanto pelo avanço tecnológico, os estudos acerca do homem e da sociedade aproximaram-se do delineamento utilizado nas ciências da natureza. A partir dessa concepção científica, fundamentada no Positivismo, o conhecimento científico, tanto da natureza quanto da sociedade, segue um delineamento quantitativo, que é objetivo, que não pode ser influenciado pelo pesquisador, que repousa na experimentação e que supõe a existência de leis que determinam a ocorrência dos fatos.

    FORUM: QUALITATIVE Volume 12, No. 1, Art. 24 SOCIAL RESEARCH January 2011 SOZIALFORSCHUNG From Normal Business to Financial Crisis ... and Back Again. An Illustration of the Benefits of Cassandre for Qualitative Analysis Christophe Lejeune Key words: Abstract: Cassandre is a free open source text analysis software tool. It uses semi-automatic Cassandre; coding, based on the identification of markers, grouped into registers, which represent analysis register; coding; categories. Studying the causes of the financial crisis makes it possible to construct a series of bounce technique; registers (responsibility, negligence, domino effect, change and return to normal). Cross- free software; referencing these registers reveals contrasting views (positive and negative) of the economic, KWIC; notional political and financial spheres. These conceptions vary both according to how they explain the family; phenomenon and the measures that they advocate (ranging from the development of new methods interpretation to "getting back to normal"). The example of the financial crisis is an opportunity to discuss the benefits of semi-automatic coding and determine the limitations that are likely to impact negatively on the analysis.
