  1. Welcome Back to 7061one more after this!

  2. Today • Left over questions • What is up with the homework? • Doing a qualitative analysis • Validity in this stuff • Correlation! • Linear regression! • Data collection and organization • Lunch someplace in here • How to do the homework

  3. Left over's? • Themes? • Thick descriptions • Use examples • Categories are not numbers!

  4. Left over questions?

  5. The homework • What are your themes? • How did you illustrate with words? • Never looked at these this way before • So are these how you’ve read them? • Think about how this applies

  6. In research? • Discourse analysis • Document analysis • Interview analysis • Not the same in ethnography • Not the same in case study

  7. Ethnography • Living the life • Can’t do it with your own group • Have to be trusted by the group • A sympathetic outsider’s view on what it feels like to be in that group • 21 jump street • Jane Goodall • Nomads • Dances with wolves

  8. Case Study • Find the interesting case • Explain why it is the right case • Put the reader in the middle of the case • How are things occurring? • Why are they occurring? • What is driving the system? • Why are decisions made as they are? • What is the inside story? • Participant checking

  9. Validity • Plausible • Reader understands • Makes sense • Supported by examples • Transparent • (we aren’t trying to generalize)

  10. Correlation is my friend! • Measure of the interaction between 2 or more variables • Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient r (-1 to 1) • R squared = percent of predictable variation • There are stats to give a p value • I don’t do less than 0.7, unless we are doing chicken nuggets

  11. What if you could draw a line? • Y= bX + intercept • When on same scale and same standard deviation and cross at zero, b=r • Look how handy and dangerous

  12. How good is it? • Standard Error of Estimation • How wide is the distribution around the line? • Narrow is good, wide is sloppy

  13. Try it yourself! • Download the data set, save it on your computer and open in excel and we will continue • http://www.cobitz.com/wu7061s13/corr1.xls

  14. homework • Using the qualitative data you brought • Identify the common themes • Support these themes • Or digest your one source into key themes • Support these themes • Yes this is going to be a tough one to work through • Remember to explain how you coded

  15. Next time • Read if you need more detail • Creswell 11 • Pagano 6 and 7 • Send the assignment before you come to class • Be prepared to speak candidly about politics and we will work on how you work through them • Study for final • If it appears on a slide it is fair game
