Progressive focusing and trustworthiness in qualitative research: The enablin...University of Glasgow
* The business and management community increasingly recognises that qualitative research is a ‘messy’, non-linear and often unpredictable undertaking. Yet, a considerable proportion of the qualitative research published in top journals is still presented as the result of a linear, predictable research process, thus wrongly suggesting deductive reasoning. * In this paper, we focus on a particular type of ‘messiness’ where during fieldwork, the research context is revealed to be more complex than anticipated, forcing the researcher to gradually refine/shift their focus to reflect ‘what really matters’. We adopt Stake’s notion of progressive focusing for this gradual approach. * Progressive focusing is well-suited to qualitative research in international business requiring complex iteration between theory and data, and the truthful yet coherent presentation of the research process. We propose that this dual challenge of complexity and trustworthiness may be addressed by using computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS). * We present conceptual considerations and guidelines and offer a view on a ‘messy’, non-linear doctoral research project conducted using a progressive focusing approach, to demonstrate how CAQDAS can help to develop and re-negotiate insights from theory and interview data, as well as enhance trustworthiness, transparency and publication potential.

How do learners in MOOCs attempt to resolve challenges they face?George Veletsianos
We draw on interviews with more than 90 students from four massive open online courses (MOOCs) to investigate how students define challenging experiences/elements within MOOCs and how they then overcome those challenges. Findings enrich nascent scholarly understanding of MOOC learner experiences, highlight dimensions of learning that are not captured by tracking logs, and provide new approaches that MOOC developers can take in improving student learning experiences.

SOC391FAS361 Research Methods PROJECT PIECE #2 WRI.docxjensgosney
SOC391/FAS361: Research Methods
PROJECT PIECE #2:
WRITING A LITERATURE REVIEW
OVERVIEW
A literature review is a formal way of gathering relevant and trustworthy information
about a topic of interest. In APA-formatted research papers, the literature review is
often incorporated into the introduction. It serves to introduce your reader to your
topic, convey your research question, justify the need and relevance of your topic, and
present your hypotheses.
A key part of a literature review is synthesizing information (not just presenting the
information)! This concept might be foreign to many students (and difficult to grasp at
first), but it is something that will help you be better able to seek out information from
multiple sources and then present it in an organized way to convey your goal or
purpose (again, something that will likely be needed for a future job or research). Be
sure to review the video and posted resources on the Blackboard course site for a more
detailed discussion of a literature review!
INSTRUCTIONS
1. This project piece will center on the research question that you selected in
Project Piece 1. For your remaining project pieces (and your final project), you
will work on developing, investigating, and writing about this topic.
2. Carefully review the information about finding sources and creating literature
reviews on Blackboard.
3. Conduct a review of the literature on your selected topic. Become familiar with
research available on your topic and variables of interest (outcome and
predictor variables).
a. You will want to focus your search on materials that are appropriate for
an academic paper, including journal articles and books. (Review
distinguishing scholarly articles and other types of information and how to
search for scholarly articles on Blackboard). As discussed in the literature
reviews lecture, searching through materials is often a two-step process.
At the beginning of your research process, you will likely gather more
information and references than you will include in your final paper!
Cutting down these sources and integrating/synthesizing them for your
paper will be a very important step!
4. Once you have reviewed the literature, develop a hypothesis! Do you think both
independent variables will be related to your dependent variable? Or just one?
What direction do you think those relationships will be? Review pages 56-59 of
SOC391/FAS361: Research Methods
your textbook for more information on how to construct a hypothesis. You will
integrate this hypothesis into your literature review, but it can be helpful to think
about what you expect before you write your literature review!
5. Write a 3-4 page literature review in APA 6 format (size 10-12 Times New Roman
font with 1-inch margins) that introduces your topic, describes what research has
been done on your outcome variable, discusses what research ha.

For this Assignment you articulate how you will use research to .docxtemplestewart19
For this Assignment you articulate how you will use research to improve the lives of students with exceptionalities.
To prepare:
· Read, review, and reflect on your work in this course and your work in all of the courses that you have taken to date. By now, you should have a general idea of a topic in the field of special education that interests you—a topic or
gap in practice
about which you may wish to conduct a research study.
· Consider the course Learning Resources and those listed for this module. Reflect on your examination of research methodologies and how each can be applied specifically within the field of special education.
· Ask yourself: What would I like to contribute to the field as a leader in special education? Then, identify a specific problem focusing on a gap in practice in the field of special education related to improving the lives of students with exceptionalities. In selecting your problem, consider the relationship between the identified problem of practice and social change.

a 3–5 page paper utilizing the following section headings:
1.
Problem Statement
a. Provide a 1- to 2-paragraph statement that is the result of a review of current literature and practice that contains the following information:
i. A logical argument for the need to address an identified gap in special education practice. Make sure to clarify why you believe that this is problem of practice in SPED.
ii. Preliminary evidence that provides justification that this problem is meaningful. Provide a minimum of 3–5 key citations that support the relevance and currency of the problem. These references need not all be from peer reviewed journals but should be from reputable sources, such as national agency databases or scholarly books, and should ideally be from the past 5 years.
2.
Significance
a. Provide 1 or 2 paragraphs informed by the topic outlined in the problem statement that describe the following:
i. How this study will contribute to filling the gap in SPED practice identified in the problem statement: What original contribution will this study make?
ii. How this research will support professional practice or allow practical application: Answer the “So what?” question.
3.
Questions
a. List the question or a series of related questions that are informed by the purpose, which will lead to the development of what needs to be done to research the identified gap in practice. A research question informs the research design by providing a foundation for
i. generation of hypotheses in quantitative studies,
ii. questions necessary to build the design structure for qualitative studies, and a
iii. process by which different methods will work together in mixed-methods studies.
4.

Introduction
Opening Statement
The students and parents are participants in an educational program. “Research often excludes youth participants, omitting their social and psychological realities, undermining their rights to participate and benefit from research, and weakening the validity of research. Researchers may be discouraged from including youth due to logistical (e.g. gaining access) or ethical (e.g. coercion risks based on developmental level) concerns. Increased discussion is needed around appropriate methods to use with child and youth participants that manage challenges related to developmental capacities, legal status, power differentials, and unpredictable aspects of qualitative research”(Sage, 2015). Eliminate the white pages.
Background Study
In this paper I will focus on experiences of researchers, describing solutions of internal and external validity. “The research design is the blueprint that enables the investigator to come up with solutions to these problems and guides him or her to various stages of research” (Frankfort-Nachmias & Nachmias, 2008, p89) Internal validity is whether the effects observed in a research are due to the manipulation of the independent variable. External validity is the extent to which the results of a research can be generalized to settings and people. (McLeod, 2013).
Burger’s (2009) study of design is on the psychological research designed by Milgram. Burger (2009) identifies obedience to authority, increase in demands, resources of information in a novel situation, and responsibility not assigned or diffused as contributes toward the “high rates of obedience” (Burger, 2009, pp 2-3). His hypotheses question is ‘Would people still obey today?’ The tables are used to measure participants of the obedience screening according to gender and ethnicity, such as behavior and personality rates.
Fuchs, Fuchs, Hamlett, Phillips, Karns, and Dutka (1997) researched on various collaborative measurements. The appendix for Problems A & B is interesting. The methods to problems solving contain internal and external validity. This is a collaborative research because the tutor (educator) and tutee (learner) are doing an activity.
Problem Statement
The problem occurs when there is a lack of part.
In this presentation we interrogate the meaning of the term " Scholarship" in the " Scholarship of Teaching and Learning"(SoTL) . This is part of a process of conceptualising SoTL from its early introduction leading to its adoption within South African Higher education context.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Developing Distributed High-performance Computing Capabilities of an Open Sci...Globus
COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on scientific collaboration. The pandemic and its broad response from the scientific community has forged new relationships among public health practitioners, mathematical modelers, and scientific computing specialists, while revealing critical gaps in exploiting advanced computing systems to support urgent decision making. Informed by our team’s work in applying high-performance computing in support of public health decision makers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we present how Globus technologies are enabling the development of an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis, with the goal of collaborative, secure, distributed, on-demand, and fast time-to-solution analyses to support public health.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

Most of the studies on
optimism seem to be focused
on low SES schools, and I
wonder how many occur in
high SES schools. Could there
be an unwarranted
assumption that optimism in
low SES is more rare, more
powerful, or more necessary
for success than in high SES?
If so, is this presumption just
about low SES schools, or is it
a larger assumption about low
SES and success?
