This course is divided into three units on planning, conducting, and presenting community research. Unit 1 discusses defining the topic and engaging community members. The benefits of community research are that it considers issues relevant to the community and builds trust. Unit 2 covers collecting qualitative and quantitative data through respectful methods like questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. Proper planning is important for recruitment, sample size, and adhering to data protection principles. Unit 3 focuses on analyzing findings and presenting them through various formats to different audiences. The goal is to answer the original research question and determine how the study could be improved or applied elsewhere.
The document discusses research objectives and their importance in research. It states that research objectives should be specific and directly linked to the research question. Objectives help focus the research, guide the methodology, and structure what will be achieved. Good objectives are SMART - specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. They provide direction and help determine data needs, analysis and interpretation of results. Objectives should be clearly defined using action verbs and based on the research problem or gap identified from the literature review.
Research designs for quantitative studies pptNursing Path
The document discusses research designs for quantitative studies. It describes the key components of a research design including the intervention, comparisons, controls for extraneous variables, and timing of data collection. It also outlines different types of research designs such as experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental designs. Experimental designs manipulate an intervention and include a control group, while quasi-experimental designs do not randomly assign subjects. Non-experimental designs do not involve manipulation of an intervention.
Theory of reasoned action and theory of plannedAdnan Ahmed
The Theory of Reasoned Action and Theory of Planned Behavior models human behavior. [1] The models were originally developed in the 1960s-1980s and assume human behavior is under voluntary control. [2] The models include components of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control that influence behavioral intentions and actions. [3] The theories work best for behaviors perceived to be under personal control.

BASIC ELEMENTS of social work research final.pptshashikiranak1
This document provides an overview of the basic elements of social work research, including concepts, variables, hypotheses, and their definitions. It discusses that concepts represent objects, properties, or phenomena; variables take two or more values and can be independent (causes) or dependent (effects); and hypotheses are tentative answers to research questions that need to be tested. The sources of hypotheses are identified as theories, literature, experiences, and prior findings. Characteristics of usable hypotheses are that they must be empirically testable, avoid moral judgments, and be clear and specific concepts.
This document provides an overview of research methodologies in architecture. It discusses qualitative and quantitative research, including common approaches like interviews, surveys, observation, and case studies. Qualitative research focuses on collecting and analyzing non-numerical data through methods like ethnography and narrative research, while quantitative research uses statistical analysis and sampling. The document also outlines different types of research like descriptive, exploratory, experimental, and longitudinal research as well as key concepts in research methodology like variables, hypotheses, and validity.
This document provides information on checklists, including their use, characteristics, construction, advantages, and disadvantages. A checklist is a simple instrument used to evaluate performance by noting the presence or absence of traits or behaviors. It consists of a list of steps, activities, or behaviors that an observer records. Checklists should clearly specify behaviors to observe, use carefully prepared items, and train observers on use. They allow comparison and objective evaluation but only assess presence/absence of attributes, so quality cannot be determined.
Qualitative research is an inductive approach used to discover or expand knowledge about social and cultural phenomena. It involves the researcher identifying meanings and relevance through intense involvement. Some key characteristics include emerging design, flexibility, holistic perspective, and ongoing data analysis. The phases of qualitative research are orientation and overview to plan the study, focused exploration of the phenomenon through various data collection methods, and confirmation and closure to establish trustworthy findings.
This document discusses the key aspects of qualitative research design. It explains that qualitative research relies on data from interviews, observations, and documents rather than testing hypotheses. The goal is to understand people's behaviors and meanings rather than measuring things. Some common qualitative designs mentioned are grounded theory, ethnography, phenomenology, case studies, and content analysis. Sample sizes are small and purposeful rather than random. Data collection methods include interviews, observations, and documents. Analysis uses an inductive approach to identify themes. Researchers are the main instrument and context is important for understanding findings.
SBCC uses a socio-ecological approach and interactive communication processes informed by research and theory to address tipping points for change at multiple levels. Effective SBCC is planned based on local context, involves stakeholders, uses multiple channels, and emphasizes positive benefits over negative consequences to promote behaviors that improve health outcomes in a cost-effective manner.
The document outlines different elements of research design including the approach, population and sampling, data collection methods, and data analysis. It discusses various types of research designs such as quantitative experimental designs like true experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental designs. It also discusses qualitative research designs and provides examples of different research methods.
This document discusses mixed methods research. It defines mixed methods research as integrating both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis within a single study. The document outlines the basic characteristics, types of designs, steps, and advantages and disadvantages of mixed methods research. It discusses when mixed methods is appropriate and reasons for using it, such as to explain findings or address questions at different levels. The four main mixed methods designs are explanatory, exploratory, embedded, and triangulation designs.
1. The document discusses the origins and history of primary health care from pre-colonial times through the colonial period and post-independence era, culminating in the 1978 Declaration of Alma-Ata which established primary health care as a global strategy.
2. The Declaration defined primary health care as including health promotion, disease prevention, treatment of common illnesses, and community participation at an affordable cost.
3. While the goals of primary health care were not fully realized due to lack of resources and commitment, the principles of equity, prevention and universal access remain important, and revitalizing primary health care is seen as critical to achieving health-related sustainable development goals.
This document discusses various research approaches and designs. It begins by defining research design as a blueprint for conducting a research study that involves elements like the research approach, sampling techniques, data collection methods and analysis.
The main types of research designs discussed are quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. Within quantitative designs, the document explores experimental, quasi-experimental, pre-experimental, and non-experimental designs. It provides examples of different experimental designs like true experimental, quasi-experimental, and pre-experimental. Non-experimental designs discussed include descriptive, correlational, and survey research.
The document also covers qualitative designs like phenomenology and ethnography. It summarizes the key features and advantages and disadvantages of the different research approaches
This document discusses descriptive and inferential statistics used in nursing research. It defines key statistical concepts like levels of measurement, measures of central tendency, descriptive versus inferential statistics, and commonly used statistical tests. Nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio are the four levels of measurement, with ratio allowing the most data manipulation. Descriptive statistics describe sample data while inferential statistics allow estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses. Common descriptive statistics include mean, median and mode, while common inferential tests are t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square and correlation. Type I errors incorrectly reject the null hypothesis.
This document discusses various methods and tools for collecting data in empirical research. It describes primary and secondary data sources and different types of data collection methods including interviews, questionnaires, observation, and biophysical measurements. Specifically, it provides details on structured, unstructured, and semi-structured interviews. It also explains different types of questions that can be used in questionnaires such as open-ended, closed-ended, rating scales, and Likert scales. Advantages and disadvantages of interviews and questionnaires as data collection methods are highlighted.
This document discusses longitudinal design and its types. A longitudinal study observes the same subjects over an extended period of time to study changes. There are several types of longitudinal designs, including panel studies that follow the same individuals, cohort studies that follow groups based on a shared characteristic, and retrospective studies that examine past records. Longitudinal research can measure outcomes like risk factors, treatment effects, patterns of change and stability, and historical or developmental impacts. Key types are prospective panel studies with single or multiple cohorts, retrospective panel designs, record linkage studies, and repeated cross-sectional trend studies.
This document provides an overview of qualitative data analysis. It discusses that qualitative data analysis involves coding texts, identifying patterns, and reducing qualitative data into quantitative codes. It also outlines several stages of qualitative analysis including familiarization with data, transcription, organization, coding, identifying themes, recoding, developing categories, exploring relationships between categories, and developing theories. Finally, it discusses challenges of qualitative analysis including placing raw data into logical categories and communicating interpretations to others.
This document discusses different types of descriptive research studies including normative surveys, educational surveys, and psychological research studies. It provides examples of each type of descriptive study including the purpose, procedures, and key findings. A normative survey examines typical conditions and practices to establish norms. An educational survey looks at factors related to the teaching and learning process. A psychological research study compares behaviors and reactions in different situations. Descriptive research aims to describe current conditions and phenomena without manipulating variables.

This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.

Social Learning@Speed_Greenes_KMWorld 2012Kent Greenes
Kent Greenes gave a presentation on social learning at speed of need. He discussed how the rapid pace of change requires learning and knowledge transfer to happen as quickly as business needs. Effective social learning is participatory, not passive, and allows people to collectively solve complex problems. High performing organizations embed social learning and knowledge sharing into daily work processes and culture through tools, leadership, and participatory content creation. Barriers to social learning include a lack of guidance on social tools, not applying it to specific business problems, and not designing organizations to support knowledge flows.

The student developed a research proposal for Happy Dogs to address retention issues with their dog walkers. The proposal identified the problem as an unknown cause of walker retention but lacked details on what the specific problem was, who it impacted, and how the research could help resolve it. The student's supervisor, Megan, provided feedback that the proposal needed to more systematically define the research need by specifying the what, who, and how of the problem and research design. This would help improve how the proposal conveyed the necessary information to address Happy Dogs' issues.

In addition to interviews, surveys, and inventories, it is important during a KM assessment to educate and engage the organization.
This document discusses social learning and defines it as learning that is social by nature because humans are inherently social beings. Social learning aims to empower practitioners to form learning partnerships to create personal and organizational value. It can take the form of collaborative or informal learning. The document notes that social learning is not just a technical solution or communications channel, but a set of behaviors. While not entirely new, social media now enables social learning to occur across networks and a changing work environment. Success requires focusing on business needs, embedding social learning in workflows, identifying communities of interest, and cultivating trust through openness and transparency.

Storytelling with Data (Global Engagement Summit at Northwestern University 2...Sara Hooker
The document provides guidance on effective storytelling with data in 3 key areas: answering important questions early, focusing on good data collection, and understanding your audience. It emphasizes answering why the audience should care, why you are best positioned to address the problem, and what the desired outcome is. Good data collection requires defining core metrics and sustainability. Understanding your audience involves considering their relationship to you and how to communicate to them. The document encourages borrowing from other effective examples and focusing on telling a compelling story with data rather than just presenting charts.
The document discusses external data and how it can be used to improve businesses. It defines external data as data generated outside an organization that can come from various sources. The document then categorizes external data as primary data, which is originally collected by researchers, and secondary data, which has already been collected and published. It provides examples of sources for primary data, such as surveys, interviews, and observations. It also discusses open data, how it is defined, and its benefits for businesses. Overall, the document aims to help readers understand external data and how they can leverage various external data sources to improve their business.
The document discusses key challenges in the field of learning analytics, including connecting analytics to pedagogy and learning science, developing ethical guidelines, focusing on learner perspectives, and addressing issues of consent, privacy, equality and data ownership. It presents ten reflection questions to prompt thinking on these challenges, such as how pedagogy links to analytics work, the problems analytics aim to solve for learners, important ethical decisions made, and potential changes in response to the challenges. Six core challenges are also summarized: building learning science connections, using diverse data sets, considering learner views, establishing ethics protocols, ensuring consent and safeguarding, and promoting equality and data control.

engage in joint action in geographical locations or
settings.’

6. Class Discussion
What do you think are the benefits to using members of the community
to decide upon, design and carry out a research project?
Working in groups of two or three, see how many benefits you can come
up with.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
7. The benefits of Community Research
Community-engaged research takes place under
real world conditions, which increases the
applicability of its findings to practical
applications that improve human health.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
8. The benefits of Community Research
Meaningful community involvement can also
improve the research process itself, and therefore
the ultimate findings.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
9. Community Research.............
• Helps to develop research questions concerning health issues of
concern to the community
• Help in recruiting participants – people more likely to support
the research and researchers when they understand the purpose
of the research and how the results may affect them
• Improves information gained through community input to
produce appropriate, culturally sensitive, accurate and valid
opinions and information
• Gives greater opportunity to build trust and respect between
organisations and communities. This may lead to a greater
exchange of information where the community itself has a voice

11. What is my task? How can I prepare for it?
During this phase of Healthwatch, we require members from all
areas of the community to choose a title for their research
project, we encourage you to ‘Buddy’ up with a colleague so you
can share ideas, discuss particular areas you may be interested in.
Using the IT facilities available, spend the next fifteen minutes
brainstorming, searching and generating ideas for your topic.
Example: How easy is it for people to access dentistry services in
Portsmouth?
Property of Learning Links – 2012
12. Who will I engage with?
Now we have started to think about what we might like to
research, we have to start thinking about WHO we would like to
engage with.
Using your preliminary research question as a guide, lets see how
many different community groups we can identify.
Keep in your minds these few pointers:
• How can I ensure I engage with a large cross section of the
community e.g. We want as diverse a sample as possible.
• To make the information gained as diverse as possible, what age
ranges of community members will you be targeting
Property of Learning Links – 2012
13. Time Management & Deadlines
Some questions you may ask yourself during the planning phase
of your research project:
• How will I manage my time effectively?
• What would be the best time of day to engage with my chosen
groups?
• How long will it take to gather my information and resources?
• How long will I spend analysing my Data?
• Do I have a deadline to work to?
• What resources will I need?
• Will you keep a diary specific to this task? This could make your
final report easier to compile.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
14. Unit 1 – Summarising our findings
We should now be able to answer the following questions:
• What is Community Research?
• What are the benefits to community research?
• What will be the topic of my research project?
• Who will I engage with?
After our tea-break we will progress onto Unit 2 – Collecting
Data.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
16. Introduction
In this unit we will look at the following:
• What is Data?
• The Eight Principles of Data Protection
• Methods of Data Collection
• Recruitment of Participants
• How to engage with and recruit community members
• Interviewing Tools and Ideas (Communication)
Property of Learning Links – 2012
17. What is Data?
Data is a collection of facts, such as values or
measurements.
It can be
numbers, words, measurements, observations or
even just opinions and descriptions.
The information / data that we will be collecting
during our research project can placed into two very
different sections:
Qualitative and Quantitative
Property of Learning Links – 2012
18. Qualitative Data
Qualitative data is ‘descriptive’ – It describes
something.
This information is ‘subjective’, it represents the
thoughts and opinions of someone.
Qualitative data can be difficult to interpret, it is
more time consuming to analyse but the results at
the end will be broader and more diverse than just a
quantitative approach.
e.g. Why do you think there are delays in Hospital
Treatment?
Property of Learning Links – 2012
19. Quantitative Data
Quantitative data is numerical information.
It usually relates to facts and figures, compared to
Qualitative data, Quantitative data can be easy to
represent, it can show trends and it can be collected
in a non face to face way e.g. Printed questionnaires.
It could be that you receive a lot of Qualitative
data, and after analysis decide to find out how many
other people feel the same way, this can then be
collected as quantitative data.
e.g. How long did you have to wait for your initial
hospital appointment.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
20. What information do we want?
When gathering information, we only want to ask
specific questions. During our planning phase these
questions need to be generated.
By including too large a range of either questions or
options, the data can easily become difficult to
represent or interpret. Remember your timescales!
Do we want numerical data? Opinions and thoughts?
Numbers or figures? I would suggest you re-visit your
research project aims and pick questions specific to
that area.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
21. Sensitive Information
We will be asking people to provide information
regarding health related issues.
For most people this is a very personal and sensitive
subject, so we will have to be very careful when we
present this.
A community member must ‘trust’ us not to break
this confidentiality and they may have concerns
about who, or where this information is going.
This relationship between you and them must at all
times be build around a mutual understanding.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
22. Data Protection
As we have seen, the information we gather may be
personal and sensitive. We have to adhere to The
Data Protection Act 1998, which is an act of
Parliament which outlines how we should process
personal information from members of society.
This is a good tool to understand, as people may have
questions surrounding who will see their
information, you can put people at ease by
mentioning this. This will also help you build rapport
with your audience.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
23. The Data Protection Act 1998
…is a piece of national legislation that…
governs how information about us is held.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
24. Holding Personal Data
1 Personal data must be processed fairly and lawfully
Personal data must be obtained for specified and
2 lawful purposes
Personal data must be adequate, relevant and
3 not excessive
4 Personal data must be accurate and up to date
Property of Learning Links – 2012
25. Holding Personal Data
5 Personal data must not be kept any longer than is necessary
Personal data must be processed in accordance
6 with the right of the individual
7 Personal data must be kept securely
Personal data must not be transferred out of the
8 country without adequate protection
Property of Learning Links – 2012
26. Methodology – How will I collect my Data
This is one of most important aspects of your
planning phase. HOW you are going to collect your
Data will depend on your chosen topic.
Group Exercise – How many different ways of
gathering / collecting information can you identify in
your groups?
Property of Learning Links – 2012
27. Data Collection
Questionnaires – Are a good source of both
qualitative & quantitative data
Surveys – If conducted with random members of the
public, pay attention to time constraints – It may be
beneficial to use these to gather quantitative data
Focus Groups – These are a fantastic way to
network, build relationships with the community and
are an excellent source of qualitative data. These can
cover perceptions, beliefs, opinions and attitudes
towards a topic.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
28. Data Collection
Reports – It could be that you are conducting some
research yourself, or existing data is available to
you, if so how will you relate this to your research
question / topic?
Social Media – Have you considered Chat
Rooms, Facebook Pages (Excellent and Free), Blogs or
even Twitter?
Remember: The questions you ask will invoke an
answer from your participant, try to be impartial
when designing these, as you may inadvertently skew
the result in a particular direction
Property of Learning Links – 2012
29. Recruitment of participants & accessibility
How will you go about recruiting people to take
part in your project?
When will your target audience be
available, what are the age ranges, what would
be an appropriate method based on their
demographic?
Working in your same groups see how many
ways you can come up with
Property of Learning Links – 2012
30. Recruitment of participants
Historic studies show that the reason community
engagement works is because the community feel
their voice is being heard and that they can see
the results around them.
Taking the time to explain the benefits of
Healthwatch or why you have chosen the
topic, will interest the participant.
Will there be some form of incentive for them to
take part, have a look at the Healthwatch printed
flyer, has this got an incentive for people to show
interest?
Property of Learning Links – 2012
31. Sample size
During the planning phase you will need to decide how many people
you will engage with.
A Census is where you ask everyone in a particular group to take
part e.g. You go to a local church group and ask every attendee to fill
out a survey. While this approach will produce the most Data, you
have to think about practical issues, timescales, likelihood of
participation.
A Sample, differed as it is a pre-defined amount, e.g. I will aim to
engage with 1/5 people, or 20% of a particular group. This may be
more achievable.
Remember: The larger the sample the greater the range of
information. Have we seen this on TV adverts recently?
Property of Learning Links – 2012
32. Interviewing Tips
When engaging with people, we can use a number of
different techniques to encourage the interview /
conversation to flow.
Although basic these ‘tools’ will help you put your target
audience at ease, help you gain the best quality data
possible and hopefully leave a positive and lasting
impression upon the people you engage with.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
34. Interviewing Tips
When planning our questions for our project, we will need to look
at the type of question we are asking.
Using a mixture of ‘Open’ and ‘Closed’ Questions:
Open – “Why do you think it was difficult to get an appointment”
Closed – “Did you get an appointment easily”
As you can see ‘open’ questions invoke a response from the
subject that is unique to them, this leads to a flow of
information, this is very much qualitative data.
Closed questions usually lead to a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ situation, which is
good if you want specific information, quantitative.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
35. Interviewing Tips
People are encouraged when they feel they are being listened to
or understood, these techniques really help the interview to
flow, putting the subject at ease.
Active Listening – Showing the subject you understand by the use
of NVC’s, Gestures and prompts.
Starter Questions – Can you prompt the subject into a new line of
questioning? Or can you ask them to elaborate on information
provided so you can gain more detail?
Paraphrasing – You repeat back certain key points to show your
understanding.
Remember to thank them afterwards for their time
Property of Learning Links – 2012
36. Diverse customer needs
Keep in mind that all customers:
• are individuals
• have differing needs and expectations
• may be from different countries, religions & age groups
Personal values are formed as you grow up and are
affected by:
• Birthplace
• Where you live
• Upbringing
• Friends
• Family
Property of Learning Links – 2012
37. Rapport Building and Networking
Rapport – This is then two or more people connect with each
other, they feel they are on the same wavelength.
Techniques to build Rapport:
Mirroring – You match either their tone of voice, body language
(positioning, the way they are sat, eye contact)
Empathy – Understanding something from another’s point of view
(understanding, not necessarily agreeing)
In order to cultivate lasting relationships you will need use as
many techniques as possible.
Will you offer to feedback information to them / update them?
Property of Learning Links – 2012
38. Interview task
Working as individuals I would like you to come up with five
questions which may or may not be centred around your research
question. I would like you to include four ‘closed’ questions and a
final ‘open’ question.
Working your way around the room, please interview the other
candidates. We will reflect on our findings afterwards.
Remember: Tone of
voice, positioning, engagement, rapport, paraphrasing, prompting,
active listening and please thank your participant.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
40. Writing the Final Report
We have looked at WHO we will be engaging with, we then looked
at HOW we will go about accessing that information.
Now we need to look at WHAT our findings are.
When we are presenting our final report, we always have to have
our research question in the forefront of our minds.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
41. Writing the Final Report
What audience will be viewing our information? How can we
make it accessible to all?
In what way can we present our information.
Working in groups, see if you can come up with five different ways
of presenting our information
Property of Learning Links – 2012
42. Writing the Final Report
The University of Portsmouth has produced a fantastic pro-forma
for you to structure your final report on.
This is a chance for you to bring everything together and present
your findings.
How you choose to represent your information is your own
decision, however you may wish to follow the flow that the
template outlines.
Will you use text? Charts (Pie, Bar, Line)? Data Sheets?
Property of Learning Links – 2012
43. Writing the Final Report
Understanding our results is very important, did we answer our
research question?
What decisions did you make along the way, how did this help /
hinder your project?
Do we need a larger sample? Could this study be mimicked in
other areas.
Critical Analysis – What went well, what didn’t. Did you encounter
any barriers along the way, how did you overcome them.
Property of Learning Links – 2012
44. Presenting our findings
We would love for you to come back in a month’s time to present
your findings.
This half a day session will bring all our projects together, you will
have an opportunity to present or share your thoughts and
findings. I will be available to give any assistance you may need in
concluding your report.
We will promote feedback, which will flow to Healthwatch and
Portsmouth City Council, as this is a pilot scheme you may be
contributing to moulding an entire new way of promoting
Healthwatch in the community.
