Data and Analysis

 We had a good session yesterday with Module Three students talking about 

Data - the range of information gathered from research methods - Interviews, Surveys, Observations, scholarship, reflective journals

and its relationship with 

Analysis - the meaning-making process of transformation - looking across ALL data sets for common patterns, themes emerging

This TEDTalk from Anthropologist Stefana Broadbent offers an example of a researcher sharing their research, commenting on distinct data sources and their analysis of them.

Do share your thoughts - 

what is the data you are gathering?

 what does it feel like? how is it speaking to you? 

What methods are you using to organise it and analyse it?

 

 remember in Module Three you are not presenting the raw data itself, but analysing to find meaning in relation to your professional practice
