I wrote this for BAPP also:
Staring back on Module Two and Three you
will have and feedback from your last module along with your grade. The
feedback is a starting point to begin this terms module. With Those people
starting Module Three this is particularly important.
The feedback you would have got for Module
Two is directly about the inquiry process you are about to start. Module Threes
you are asked to begin by responding to this feedback. Make your response
direct to the feedback. You could cut and paste what the feedback says and
directly respond under it. You can go through each point like this:
From feedback sheet “Interviews: You state you are
not looking to facilitate them answering your question. You are interested in
what their experiences are (as you say qualitative approach). Therefore, to
compare their answers it is easier to ask them in the same format. Different
approaches to your interview method support different responses. How would you
compare response if the difference has been created by how you asked the questions?
Please respond to this in your ‘response to
Module Two feedback’ document.”
Response: I re-read Smith (2005) chapter on
interviews techniques. I had been interested in using different techniques
because it seemed they would all create interesting different answers and I
wanted a range of answers. But thinking about my inquiry I realised I was
planning to force the answers to be
different by making the questions different. I need to conduct the interviews
in a similar way and look for the different in the answers as part of the
analysis I do. I am realising the analysis part of the inquiry is actually more
work and time than the data collection. I think I got a bit carried away with
the data collection designs and I have decided to keep it simpler. Therefore, I
will be using semi-structured interviews with all the interviewees. I will be beginning
each interview with the same set of three prompt questions.”
Try to answer/ address all the feedback
through a clear response to the points made. Remember you don’t have to just do
what the feedback suggests. You are responding to it. If you do not want to
change something as the feedback suggests explain why and what you thinking is
about it further.
What do you think?
Looking forward to reading your comment
