About this theme, we don’t have the lecture, only seminar, so the seminar become very important, and it is quite difficult to distinguish if we get correct information or conclusion in the seminar.
It’s nice we start with presentation of our pre-reflection in the group talk, and we all find none of us have a hypnosis before the chosen topic. and we find all of our chosen qualitative research papers are case study. In the paper, the authors use different ways to collect data, analysis data, and make conclusion. Before that, they all have very specific purpose, but they totally can not say what may be the result. Most of these case study research are using questionnaires and interview to collect data, I think it because they want to research about the human behave, people’s respond.
As mentioned in the seminar conclusion, a case study formulates the whole thing into science, fight against the things you think or you know. It is more about investigating new knowledge, explore the staff you don't know before. And the case is individual, organisation, event, or action, existing in a specific time and place.
The most important information I got from the seminar is about the case study is very good to use when you want to use a evidence to fight against with a theory, case study make the observed information into science, and a case study could link to another one, and make a firmly link circle to support the concept in the research.
This is the final theme till now, I can’t say I got all the right information from the seminar, since the seminar conclusion is always short, and the information I got from group talk always make me confused, I don't know if they are really correct? And I always feel I didn’t get enough from the seminar conclusion. I hope I can have more to write here, but what I conclude from the theme is this much.
Hi! Nice reflection, it seems like you have about the same understanding of case studies as I do - that it's a way to research behavior in certain situations, but also to gain new knowledge. We also thought that it's a good way to begin a research, as it helps in developing new theories. I liked what you said about case studies applying the observed information on science, making it scientific (did I understand you correctly?), which I think is a good point. About what you said about it being difficult to distinguish whether we get the correct information or not with only seminars and no lectures, I'd say that there are no correct answers to these themes, the true aim being that we learn by hearing other people's perceptions and compare it to our own. Anyways, good job!
ReplyDeleteHi Chenchen,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy reading your blog. I agree with you that without the planned lecture, we may possibly feel not that confident about the theme as the previous ones did. But I think you did a good job understanding the key concept 'case study'. In particular, I like your summary that case study is more about investigating new knowledge, and the case is individual, organisation, event, or action, existing in a specific time and place. It is a very clear conclusion, that it helps a lot for others to understand the concept quickly. Thanks for sharing your interesting and thoughtful reflections. Good job!
Hello!
ReplyDeleteGood job on the last theme. I think you have a good point when you wrote about the importance of having doing a seminar conclusion. Like you said it can be a but confusing at times during group discussing but I do find it good to ask the seminar leader, to sort it out and learn new things. I find it easier to ask question during the seminar rather then during a lecture: But it seems to me that you have gain good knowledge about the theme and the understanding that there can me more than just one correct answer depending on the situation.
Good job!
theme6: Hi, thank you for sharing your seminar experience and conclusion. I agree with you that talk about the research paper is a good start when we don't have lecture, and I think you conclude the case study in a very exact word. I have same confusion that we may not get correct only from seminar. Good luck for the final one!
