Week 13 - Kaitlin

 Wow, how is this the final week of blog posts everyone? Well, while I get over my surprise, I thought I would use this post to reflect on the course overall and what I learned during these 12 (or is it 13) weeks. 

When I first entered this course, I had the goal to learn more about qualitative research methods and overall, broaden my scope of research beyond quantitive, molecular studies. I felt that through our classes on research design, I was able to achieve this goal by gaining more insights into qualitative, mixed methods studies as well as case studies. Additionally, one of the most revealing things I learned in class was this week when reading Knight's description of the different types of writers. I really enjoy doing personality tests, so not only was it fun to realize that I am an architect, but it was also an excellent opportunity for me to reflect on my overall approach to writing and research. 

Overall this course allowed me to broaden my knowledge of research and refine my writing skills as well as interact with you lovely people on our blog every week. I wish you all the best end of term and hope you have a restful and fun holiday season!

Week 11 - Kaitlin

 Hi everyone,  In preparation for the upcoming research proposal, I've been closely analyzing my current methods and reflecting on possible improvements. One improvement was provided by a TA, who suggest that I conduct my research in the form of a longitudinal study, with a study period beginning during the pandemic and ending after the pandemic and social distances measures have ceased. I think this is an incredibly good suggestion, as this type of study would reduce recall bias, as participants would no longer need to remember what kind of social interactions were occurring pre-pandemic.  As always, any additional thoughts, comments or questions are welcome!  Kaitlin

Week 6: confounding bias and research methodology (Erina)

I found that last week’s assignment helped organize and formalize my research question and research design framework. What I noticed while I was writing up my assignment last week, however, was that I need to start fleshing out my proposed research method.   I intend to use a survey to gather information on student’s perceptions of the online course they are taking. One difficulty I am currently facing is that I lack enough statistical knowledge to understand the different statistical tools used in the journal articles I am reading. At the moment, I am focusing on reading up on studies that used small sample sizes because my sample size will not be large. I hope to get ideas on appropriate statistical methods this way. Also, this week’s lecture brought my attention to an important issue with my research question: confounding bias. Because I will be examining student’s experiences with online class, confounding bias will be a problem if I do not appropriately select my test...

Week 7 - Erina

One of the readings this week showed that context plays a role in whether internet users are comfortable having their information or content they post online used for research purposes (Fiesler & Proferes, 2018). I found I agreed with a lot of the respondents in this study (e.g. being willing to have researchers use your information if you can remain anonymous, being aware that you will not have full authority with whatever you post online). However, it was alarming to see that the academic field is still in the earlier stages of developing a research ethics framework when collecting data from the web and that most Twitter users were not aware that researchers use Tweets for their work. Related to that note, I realize I will need to obtain consent from the professor AND students before I start observing the student's level of participation in an online class. I will primarily use a survey to gather student's perceptions of their learning experience. For the survey, I will...
