Structured observation as research_methodDr. Chinchu C
Structured observation is a predominantly quantitative tool. Here it is being introduced as a standalone research method in Qualitative Psychological Research
Checklist as a tool of data collection -by Dr. Neha DeoNeha Deo
While conducting research, a researcher has to use different techniques & tools of data collection. Observation technique is very important for quantitative as well as qualitative research. In the observation technique, there are two important tools- a checklist & a rating scale. In this presentation, Observation technique & checklist-related information is given.
Some Observations on Qualitative Research (in Libraries)Maura A. Smale
Presentation to LIS 608, Human Information Behavior, Pratt SILS, about qualitative research in libraries and the Undergraduate Scholarly Habits Ethnography Project.
Observation is one of the important and basic methods or techniques or tools for collecting data in almost all types of research studies.(experimental or laboratory research, descriptive research or qualitative research.)
Observation as a research tool is used in understanding, measuring, prediction and modification of human behavior.
The observer can opt for either participant or non participant observation. This technique can be used to observe the behavior or attitude of the individual or a group. The observer has to plan carefully and execute the plans to collect accurate information. The observation could be supported with interaction.
This method gives an opportunity to know the insights of the group and naturally, the observer will be able to get the factual data compared to other methods of data collection.

Difference between quantitative and qualitative researchSafi Nawam
Researchers usually work within a paradigm that is consistent with their world view, and that gives rise to the types of question that excite their curiosity.
The maturity of the concept of interest also may lead to one or the other paradigm: when little is known about a topic, a qualitative approach is often more fruitful than a quantitative one
Research in general refers to….
A search for knowledge.
A scientific and systematic search for relevant information on a specific topic.
Research is an art of scientific investigation.
Research is a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Research
• A systematic process of inquiry consisting
of three elements or components:
1. A question, problem, or hypothesis
2. Data
3. Analysis and interpretation of data
3. Variables
• Independent variable:
• The factors that the researcher manipulates in
order to see what effect the changes introduced
will have on the dependent variable.
• Dependent variable:
• The variable that changes or is influenced by the
independent variable.
4. CLASSROOM RESEARCH
THE TEACHER
Beliefs, preparation, pers
onality and individual
characteristics
THE LEARNER
Social context and
individual characteristics
PROCESS VARIABLES
LEARNING PROCESS
ACQUISITION PROCESS
Mental processes and
learning strategies
THE CLASSROOM
Educational treatment of
the curriculum, tasks and
materials
PRODUCT VARIABLES
RESULTS / ATTAINMENT / COMPETENCE / PROFICIENCY
Principles, concepts: grammar functions, cultural aspects…
Procedures skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing
Attitudes and values
5. Approaches to Research
• Quantitative:
• Research that yields numerical
information that can be counted. (high
intervention, objective behaviour and low
inference)
• Qualitative:
• Information that can not be measured
objectively (low intervention, subjective
behaviour and high inference)
6. Approaches to Research
• Eclectic :
• A combination of experimental studies
(more structured and controlled) with
naturalistic/interpretative (less structured,
less controlled) research.
7. Experimental approaches
• Experiment:
• A procedure for testing a hypothesis by
setting up a situation in which the strength
of the relationship between variables can
be tested.
8. Types of experiments
• True experiment: Consists of control and
experiment groups to which subjects have
been randomly assigned, and in which all
subjects are tested before and after the
intervention or treatment under
investigation has been administered to the
experiment group.
9. Types of experiments
• Pre-experiment : has pre and post
treatment tests, but lacks a control group.
• Quasi-experiment : has both pre and
post tests, and experiment and control
groups, but no random assignment of
subjects.
10.
11. Where do we begin?
• Start off with a general issue, a particular
problem to think about.
• Collect data and generate research
questions and hypothesis or
• Pose a hypothesis and collect data by
reading reports of earlier classroom
research and follow up those studies.
12. Instruments
• Interviews: talking to the subjects
• Questionnaires: responded anonymously
• Case Studies: focusing on one or a few
individuals for a long period of time.
• Diaries: provide information about how
learners feel and how they process
information.
13. Issues in collecting Data
• Triangulation: the value of multiple
perspectives
• Data triangulation: using a variety of sampling
strategies
• Investigator triangulation: more than one
observer contributes to the findings
• Methodological: using different methods to
collect data.
• Theoretical: analysing with different
perspectives
14. Issues in collecting data
• Reliability:
• the extent to which an independent
researcher, on analysing your data, would
reach the same conclusions and a
replication of your study would yield similar
results.
15. Types of reliability
• Internal reliability: the concistency of the
results obtained from research .
• External reliability: the extent to which
independent researchers can reproduce a
study and obtain results similar to those
obtained in the original study.
16. Measuring reliability
• To obtain reliability factors:
• Statistical factors: test-retest, parallel
forms, split-halves, - Cronbach, KR-20
Coefficient
• Results should be between 0 ( less
reliability) to 1 ( total reliability)
17. Issues in collecting data
• Validity:
• the extent to which you have really
observed what you set out to observe,
and the extent to which you can generalize
your findings from the subjects and
situations to other groups of subjects and
situations.
18. Types of validity
• Construct validity:
• Construct: A psychological attribute that explains
a phenomenon and that nees to be explained
according to behaviour we can observe.
• Content validity: to make sure that all the
elements are included in the research
19. Types of validity
• Criterion-validity: the validity of the instrument
compared with an external criteria.
• Internal validity: or generalisability: the findings
can be applied to other situations.
• Measuring validity: Factor analysis and
interpretation.
20. So what kind of research?
• Experimental research aims to investigate
a situation without changing it. It tries to
globally understand the phenomenon.
• Action research aims to bring about
changes (for the better) in the specific
situation being investigated. It looks for
local solutions to local problems.
21. Action Research
• A problem is identified
• Data is collected to suggest a solution to
the problem
• Develop a plan of action
• Act to implement the plan
• Observe the effects of action
• Reflect on these effects
22. How to make up instruments
1. List the variables
2. Revise the variable definitions and understand
their meaning
3. Check how each variable is going to be
measured according to validity, reliability,
sample, feasibility, usability, etc.
4. Choose the instruments (already developed)
with reported validity and reliability
