Hi
I want to develop a working framework for an injury surveillance system t be implemented in a specific organization.
Based on an implementation framework, I will follow the hereunder listed sequence (sequential mixed methods):
- understand the perceptions and experiences of the current situation from the stakeholders' POV (qualitative)
- develop the framework with the help of the stakeholders through a participant research design
- implement the framework and collect data (quantitative)
- evaluate the framework from the stakeholders' POV (qualitative)
In view of this, I through it would be best to approach it from the phenomenological constructivist POV.
Any opinions about this?
Hi
Sorry I could not understand the relation of your question with the feild of my study.
I do not detect a clear phenomenological perspective in your research. Almost all qualitative research pays some attention to the "lived experience" of the participants, but phenomenology concentrates on that as its key element throughout all phases of the research.
David L Morgan many thanks for your answer. Would you approach this from a pragmatist point of view?
To put you into the picture:
I want to understand the perspective of stakeholders with regards to the current situation when it comes to dealing with injuries, which will then provide a basis for the need of an injury surveillance system. This will help me develop an injury surveillance system framework (through a participatory research design). Upon implementation of this system, quantitative data will be collected. At the end of it all, I will conduct interviews to understand the views and perspectives of the stakeholders in order to evaluate the system.
I thought i could make use of the phenomenological approach to provide basis for the constructivist approach.
It sounds like you are proposing a multi-part mixed methods project, with a design something like: qual --> QUANT --> qual. In that case, pragmatism would be a reasonable framework for the overall project (especially because constructivism would probably not match the survey.).
Article Pragmatism as a Paradigm for Social Research
The aim of your research is to develop the framework and you will use the process of doing mixed-methods. If you will phenomenological approach, you have to consider research questions as well. At the same time, if you will use phenomenological study, Ontology, and epistemology should be conducted through the process of data collection and analysis. For example, a descriptive phenomenological study, you have to suspend prior knowledge, belief, and preconceived ideas during data collection and analysis. Is it an appropriate method for your study? Or it should be only content analysis or thematic analysis before developing questionnaires in Quantitative research (Mixed-method as QUAL+ QUANT). I suggest you read a book which was written by John W. Creswell about mixed-method.
Hello, Mr. Vella,
I find your list clear and interesting.
Indeed, you seem to insist on taking into consideration the individual's subjective experience. I wonder about the people involved in your approach, are they psychologists, pedagogues, therapists?
In my opinion, the paradigm of constructivist phenomenology favours an inter-subjective and reflective approach over a biological and physiological one.
Besides, you don't expose these points in a linear way, which comes before and which comes after? I recommend that you specify your directions by numbering them chronologically.
Good continuation,
Mael.
