This document provides an overview of topics to be covered in Week 4 of a Museum Research Methods course, including a review of concepts, assignments, and focus readings. It introduces the topics of confounding variables, the difference between correlation and causation, and issues of sample selection and size to ensure a representative sample. Key concepts are that confounding variables can obscure the relationship between two variables, correlation does not necessarily imply causation, and samples must be selected and sized properly to represent the whole population.

4.3 Literature Review
This document discusses research methods for museums, including conducting a literature review and different types of evaluation research. It outlines that research aims to collect information, describe findings, and explore new perspectives to inform planning and communication, while evaluation makes judgements against criteria to assess appropriateness, effectiveness, and efficiency. The document also lists different types of exhibition evaluation that can be done at the front end, during development, after issues arise, at completion, and post-occupancy.
1.3 Social Research Fundamentals
The document discusses scientific research methods and their application to museum studies. It covers the scientific method, which involves making observations, forming a hypothesis, testing through experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. It also discusses what constitutes data, different research techniques like surveys and interviews, ethical considerations, and ensuring validity and reliability in research. The scientific method aims to objectively study topics and provide reliable information to inform decision-making.
5.2 Musm7034 Audience Research In Institutions
This document discusses best practices for conducting audience research in museums and other cultural institutions. It recommends that institutions designate a staff member with budget and expertise in social research to lead audience research efforts and represent the audience perspective. This person should design research projects in-house while also consulting experts for specialized assistance. Research findings should be shared openly with staff to gain input, avoid surprises, and facilitate changes to better serve audiences.
2.1 Quant Intro
This document discusses quantitative research methods for museum projects. It covers when quantitative data is needed, such as for audience profiling, trends analysis, and reporting to funders. It also discusses common quantitative methods like interviews, surveys, and online/mail surveys. The document provides guidance on designing effective questionnaires, including determining what to ask, question wording and order, and sample sizes. It concludes with an exercise to design a questionnaire to understand usage of a museum coffee cart.
3.2 Audience Segmentation
This document discusses different methods for segmenting museum audiences, including demographic, geographic, behavioral, and psychographic segmentation. Demographic segmentation looks at attributes like age, gender, income, and family status. Geographic segmentation examines factors such as location. Behavioral segmentation analyzes behaviors like repeat visits or program participation. Psychographic segmentation uses personality traits from the Five Factor Model, known as OCEAN, which stands for Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. The document provides examples of questions and segments related to these methods.

1.4 Museum Research Methods Shaping A Project
This document outlines the key steps to shaping a research project:
1. Define your information needs and project resources by determining what you want to know, how the information will be used, who the audiences are, and what resources you have available.
2. Use your information needs and resources to determine the scope of the project, making sure your scope matches your budget.
3. For larger projects, use a tendering process to invite research proposals, while smaller projects can use preferred suppliers. Write a brief to shape the responses received.
2.2 Discussion
The paper examines the relationship between visitor satisfaction, intention to return, and intention to recommend based on a survey conducted at a small metropolitan museum. It finds that exhibition experience was the main driver of satisfaction. Those who reported being highly satisfied also reported higher intentions to return and recommend. Older and less educated visitors tended to report higher satisfaction. The measures of satisfaction, intention to return, and intention to recommend were found to be strongly correlated, suggesting they may essentially be measuring the same underlying sentiment toward the museum experience.

F soc usic lecture four
This document discusses sociological research and the differences between the natural and social sciences. It notes that social sciences study human behavior, which is unpredictable and constantly changing, while natural sciences focus on observable things with predictable laws. To study society scientifically, social scientists must clearly define what they study, be as objective as possible, use logical methods and reliable data, and offer sound explanations. They also must consider both continuities and changes in human behavior over time when applying scientific methods. The goal of sociological research is to generate valid and reliable data by following procedures that guarantee objectivity.
F soc usic lecture four
This document discusses sociological research and the differences between the natural and social sciences. It notes that while social sciences aim to study human behavior scientifically, it is difficult to do so objectively since humans are dynamic and social scientists are themselves part of society. However, sociological research can adopt methods used in natural sciences by clearly defining concepts, collecting reliable data, using established theories, and remaining detached to avoid bias. The document also outlines the typical process of sociological research and emphasizes the need for objectivity.

This paper examines adoption from a sociological perspective. It discusses how adopted children are sometimes prejudged and how they fit into society. The paper also looks at differences within adoptive family dynamics. It presents statistics on the current adoption system, noting there are not enough adoptive parents for the number of parentless children. The paper suggests ways to improve the system by reducing regulations to allow more families to adopt. Research discussed found that adopted children can form strong attachments to their adoptive parents and have similar or higher self-esteem than non-adopted peers. The paper concludes that adoption provides children with a family, though it was once seen as a second-best option.

Self Esteem:Methods Comment by Gregory G. Bolich: Spacing. Otherwise everything is okay.
Self Esteem: Methods
The methodical approach that is applied in understanding self-esteem is empirical research. Many controversial debates have been done to understand the concept and truth about self-esteem. Many people just get around the fact that self-esteem can influence the ability of the children to study and succeed in education (Franck, 2007). Other people just claim with the new hypothesis that has been drawn from the research conclusions of the studies that have been done so far about self-esteem (Govier, 2013). Comment by Gregory G. Bolich: This is an interesting start though the sentence doesn’t actually say much. Still, it works. Comment by Gregory G. Bolich: Okay. This additional material helps create a stronger introduction.
However, in getting the results of self-esteem, research can be done by both qualitative and quantitative methods (Govier, 2013). These methods of research can be applied in trying to understand self-esteem where the experiments that ask the respondents how favorably they can regard themselves. Questionnaires are used to collect data in this case that have questions that ask the respondents to agree or not agree with statements such as “I feel I can make it in life.” Comment by Gregory G. Bolich: Yes, but . . . what are these different approaches about? Comment by Gregory G. Bolich: You offer a couple of examples but don’t pair wither experiments or questionnaires with either approach.
The statements are directed to the fact that self-esteem is based on what the subjects says about themselves and it worthwhile to note that self-report measures are rather problematic(Franck, 2007). Sometimes they can tell us about someone’s wishes but not their real status. However, since the other methods that have been suggested to understand self-esteem are yet to be empirically validated, the only addition method is an analysis of other research that has been done by other researchers. There is experimental research that has been done so far on the impact and the working of self-esteem and variables that influence this change can provide very interesting resources. The resources that will be required will be a list of questionnaires, respondents and around a period of one month to gather data that has been collected through research (Franck, 2007). Comment by Gregory G. Bolich: say Comment by Gregory G. Bolich: What would be the value of analyzing all the research if none of it has been empirically validated? Comment by Gregory G. Bolich: additional Comment by Gregory G. Bolich: I don’t quite follow you. I don’t know what hypothesis is being tested or what design you propose to use. Much better clarification is needed.

Lesson Study - developing a complexity view
This document provides a critical reflection on learning and observation in lesson study. It discusses that lesson study is an iterative, collaborative process aimed at incremental and emergent change. However, the literature on lesson study is under-theorized in how learning is captured and observation is described. The document also notes that classrooms are complex adaptive systems, so only a partial view can be gained through observation. It advocates for using multiple sources of evidence like interviews and artifacts to better understand the learning process. Overall, the document presents lesson study as a useful approach for developing pedagogical literacy when combined with reflection, but acknowledges its limitations in providing a comprehensive view of the complex dynamics of learning in a classroom.

Interdisciplinary study disciples of disciplinesUpdated Tuesda.docx
Interdisciplinary study: disciples of disciplines?
Updated Tuesday 20th October 2015
What are 'disciplines' and what is 'interdisciplinary study'?
Introduction
In 1959, C.P.Snow gave a lecture on which he later expounded in publication and which became a seminal work, still discussed and debated fifty years later. Snow’s thesis concerned the ‘gulf of mutual incomprehension ’ (Snow, 1965) between those who followed the sciences and those who saw the arts and humanities as their natural home. Each ‘sect’ saw their own disciplines as being superior in their contribution to humanity and believed that disciples of the other were only able to engage with ideas from their own field of expertise.
It is, perhaps, in this debate that we can see how distinctions between ‘disciplines’ emerge – disciples or followers fight for their belief in the ontological and epistemological ‘truths’ associated with their way of seeing and experiencing the world. Snow was arguing that members of the two camps needed to learn to communicate with each other but that the answers to human problems, health, security, food, water etc lay in the hand of scientists and this was thus the most important language. His challenge was taken up by the renowned literary critic, F.R Leavis, and an acrimonious debate ensued which has re-emerged periodically in letter pages of the quality press until the present day.
What are ‘disciplines’?
The term discipline implies both the aforementioned idea of a subject which has disciples or followers and - in the Foucaultian sense - discipline which forces a particular way of seeing the world and behaving in it. Writing about the discipline of education itself, for example, Bridges suggests that: ‘Discipline meant that enquiry was conducted in accordance with some established rules and procedures which provided the basis for among other things distinguishing truth from falsity, warranted from unwarranted belief. The requirement for disciplined enquiry became translated into the ‘disciplines’ which embodied such enquiry.’ (Bridges, 2004)
Holley (2009) proposes three ways in which academic disciplines might be understood as: as
1. fields of study;
2. bodies of knowledge associated with fields of study;
3. communities of scholars engaged in specific fields of knowledge.
The problem with such definitions is that the disciplines as we know them are not immutable. Whilst criminologists, for example, might see themselves as distinct from sociologists they often share fields of study, bodies of knowledge and community membership. Communities of criminologists often emerge from sociology communities but forensic criminologists may well have emerged from schools of psychology. The boundaries would appear to be forming and re-forming over time. A second difficulty is that disciplines may also contain ‘factions’ with contradictory ontological stances. In Sociology, for instance, positivists and interpretivists share a field of study and engage in the same ...
Inquiry Project Assignment Presentation
This document outlines the requirements for an ethics assignment. Students will research and write about an ethical issue, applying an ethical framework. They must submit an annotated bibliography, reflection, and 6-8 page essay. The essay requires stating a clear thesis, using an ethical theory to analyze the issue while giving evidence and reasoning, and concluding strongly. Groups can also do an annotated bibliography and presentation, following the same standards of a strong argument and research. Plagiarism will result in penalties.
The purpose of this assignment is to learn about social institutio.docx
The purpose of this assignment is to learn about social institutions and their importance in society by examining one social institution (social institution: EDUCATION). Each student will look at social institution (EDUCATION) and create a presentation that others students will look at. This assignment has multiple components and early due dates so make sure you start early.
Step 1: Research about EDUCATION- This is your social institution.
Step 2: Read the course module on social institutions below. This will give you an overview of what a social institution is and how it works in society.
Step 3: Read the assigned sources listed below. You will use these sources to create a brief presentation about your social institution.
Step 4: completing the project;
Each student will complete the following
1. A brief presentation about their social institution that answers some key questions (listed below) about that institution.
2. 2 to 3 discussion questions about their social institution that will be added to the end of their presentation.
3. 5 to 7 quiz questions about their social institution that will be included in this week's quiz.
More information about the presentation:
Your presentation will be a combination of material from your class modules below, your sources and critical thinking.
It should answer all of the following questions:
1. We defined a social institution as an organization that is formed to meet basic needs of society what basic needs does your social institution address
2. What are some of the basic rules or social norms that are used to maintain order in your social institution?
3. What are some of the major historical changes that have happened to your institution over time?
4. Analyze your social institution from each of the three theoretical viewpoints (Below: Sociology's Three Major Theoretical Perspectives).
5. What are some social issues or problems that society deals with that are related to your institution?
6. What are some solutions to those problems?
7. What are other important things you can tell us about your institution (This is the place to summarize and include the other things about your sources that don't really fit in these questions but are important)
8. What do you see happening in the future with your institution?
9. 2 to 3 discussion questions for other students to answer
Your presentation can be in any format. Most students prefer power point but you can use a document, prezi or any other format you would like. However keep in mind this is not an essay or a list of questions and answers. It should be creative and fun to look at.
Some hints and tips-
· Do use pictures and graphics
· Don't use animations- they can be distracting and not work consistently
· Keep answers short and simple- remember that you will be reading all of the other presentations. When putting yours together ask yourself would you want other students to be putting this much text on the presentation you have to read?
· If slides are t.

5.3 Musm7034 Conclusion
This document outlines the research process for a museum studies course, including identifying the needed information, developing a scope of work, carrying out research, and summarizing and applying the findings. It provides suggestions for starting with a small pilot study using standard measures to build a data bank, agreeing on outcomes to measure success, and considering the intended reporting audience. The document also covers organizing, analyzing, and presenting the data through reports, including comparisons, relevant findings, and implications.
Museum research methods
This document discusses various methods for observing visitor behavior and use of space in museums, including tracking individual visitor paths through floor plans, counting the number of people engaging with specific displays and how long they spend, and noting behaviors that suggest learning such as looking, reading, pointing and discussing with others. It emphasizes the importance of defining behaviors of interest based on desired learning outcomes and then observing whether those behaviors occur.
4.2 Observation Methods
This document discusses various methods for observing visitor behavior and use of space in museums, including tracking individual visitor paths through floor plans, counting the number of people engaging with specific displays and how long they spend, and noting behaviors that suggest learning such as looking, reading, pointing and discussing with others. It emphasizes the importance of defining behaviors of interest based on desired learning outcomes and then observing whether those behaviors occur.
3.1 Qual Intro
This document discusses qualitative research methods for museum projects. It introduces qualitative research as exploratory research aimed at deeper understanding from the subject's point of view using small, in-depth samples. Common qualitative methods are described briefly, including focus groups, interviews, case studies, ethnography, and online discussions. Issues of validity, current practices, and interview/group dynamics are also covered at a high level.
2.3 Interviewing
The document discusses best practices for conducting interviews for museum research. It recommends either outsourcing interviews to a professional firm or conducting them in-house. When doing interviews in-house, the document advises recruiting and training casual employees or volunteers to conduct the interviews. Proper training involves teaching interview basics and techniques over several hours with practice sessions. Interviewers should make eye contact, ask questions clearly, probe without leading respondents, and ensure answers are specific and detailed. The document also provides an example of a brief "coffee cart survey" to illustrate how to plan an interview project.
1.2 Social Research Museums
This document provides an overview of research methods used in museums. It discusses key topics in visitor studies like visitor experience, cultural tourism, and audience segmentation. It also outlines current practices used by major museums, such as employing visitor research specialists and conducting online surveys. Notable figures who have contributed to the field of museum research are also listed. Finally, key concepts in museum studies like entry points, flow, and learning outcomes are presented.

Jamison Park Portland
Jamison Square is a 0.94 acre park located in downtown Portland, Oregon that features an interactive water fountain. The shallow water basin fills every 5 minutes from recirculated water and empties, providing a tidal-like experience. When full, it serves as a safe place for children and families to play in the water. When empty, it functions as an outdoor amphitheater space. The park serves as a popular community gathering place on warm days.
Coffee Shop Debrief
This case study shows how indepth evaluation of the visitor experience can provide useful evidence on the ways visitors interact with exhibitions and what they learn from them. \'Coffee shop\' debriefs replicated the natural way that visitors talk about an exhibition visit with their companions. The study comments on methodology and the implications of the findings for exhibition design, learning outcomes and effective promotional strategies. The study was carried out at the National Gallery of Australia in January 2007.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
