Data Collection and Management Techniques for a Qualitative Research Plan
Data management for my qualitative research study:
Organizing my interview results
Given that the focus of my qualitative research study is on the female victims of human trafficking, observational analysis would not be suitable: my interviews would take place after the women had been rescued from their situation. It would be unrealistic and impossible to bear witness to what the women were actually going through while they were being subjected inhuman conditions while being trafficked. The focus of my research will be on interviewing the women, which I do regard as an appropriate method of data collection.
However, even the interviewing process is somewhat problematic from the point-of-view of a researcher. Many of the women who are the subjects of the study will have limited command of English. Translators must be provided who are reliable and understand the cultural as well as the linguistic background of the women. Additionally, speaking about the process of being abducted might be traumatic for the women. Counselors might need to be at hand to deal with any emotional issues which were stimulated by the interviews and the women should have access to follow-up counseling, in case they experienced PTSD as a result of the interviews after the fact.
A concern which always arises with interviewing is bias, of course. These...
In light of this, although I would be asking semi-structured interview questions, I would be careful to keep the questions probing yet non-threatening and open-ended in nature. After all, the intention of the research was to let these women 'speak' about their lives, chronicling their experiences as they had seen them. I would begin by asking questions like: why did you leave your home country? What did your abductors originally tell you your situation would be like? How was it different from what you expected? Were you subjected to violence in your situation? What emotions did you experience (fear, rage, humiliation)?
The interviews would be staged in the presence of a translator in a relatively non-threatening place although to ensure accuracy, I would (with the subject's consent) have the interviews video-taped. I believe this is necessary given that 1. Issues of translation may arise and this will allow me to go over the interview text verbatim and 2. The women's body language might be just as revelatory as their words. Although there is a paucity of studies of victims of human trafficking in which the victims are allowed to speak for themselves, in their own voices, I would consult the interview techniques and types of questions used in interviewing victims of similar atrocities, such as survivors of war…

This reduces response bias for better reliability of the information gathered and a higher anticipated response rate for an adequate sample size. A one month time frame gives better assurance of an appropriate response rate adequate analysis of results.

Data Collection Tool Aggregate Objective of this paper is to design the data collection tool to be used for the aggregate population. The study uses both survey and semi-structure interview as the data collection tools. The survey is used to collect demographic background of the participants while the study uses the semi-structured interview to collect the health issues of participants. Data Collection Technique Used This study uses the mixed method as data
Based on the method the researcher use to conduct analysis, the data analysis presented is appropriate because the researcher use combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods in the data analysis. Interpretation of Results The interpretation of results is critical in the research studies. Based on the objective of the study, the researchers have been able to draw a significant correlation between research results and research aim and objectives. Researchers emerge the
Management Rationale for the use of life cycle Management at Glazers LCM (Life Cycle Management) is a framework which manages and scrutinises the performance and sustainability of services and goods. This framework aims to achieve the long-term objectives of the business, and gives less stress on the short-term objectives. For getting a more sustainable value chain, organizations are making use of this framework, which would in turn improve their economic and
The proposed classroom management technique seeks to foster democracy because a culture of responsibility and freedom is promoted in the learning environment. As a teacher, I have comfortably adapted to using this model because it gives my students equal opportunities of interacting and responding to classroom issues. In the end, I can satisfy the needs of the majority. Since the environment is safe, their constitutional rights are guaranteed and rules
Program Evaluation Integrate data collection methods into the program evaluation plan. The data collection method is seeking to integrate qualitative and quantitative research together. It is developing a program that is effective in helping to support smoking cessation efforts. Qualitative research is used to provide background on the study and proven smoking cessation initiatives. For instance, this portion of the research revealed that any effective program will integrate therapy, support groups and
