Hello
I am a PhD student in agricultural extension and education and a high school biology teacher. I am ready to cooperate in the field of collecting research information at the school level and among farmers.
Thank you
Hello Seyyed, perhaps a combination of ethographic and discourse-analytic methods could be interesting for your research project - complimentary to your preliminary considerations.
To ensure that an explorative research approach takes account of both the objective and the research question, it makes sense to use a qualitatively complementary methodological setting consisting of, for example, document analysis, semi-structured qualitative interview, participant observation and discursive-communicative result validation:
Document analysis. Based on the interdisciplinary state of research, the empirical study design is substantiated by systematically reviewing existing documents on the research and development process.
Participant observation. Participant observation of individuals, groups and institutions makes it possible to explore and analyze specific structures, constellations and practices in their respective concrete realities.
Semi-structured qualitative interviews. By means of a semi-structured, guideline-based qualitative interview with selected individuals and groups, certain events can be reconstructed historically or accompanied currently. By interviewing different individuals or groups, a multi-perspective view is reflected.
Communicative-discursive validation. The results obtained are discussed with all participants within the framework of a communicative-discursive validation. The relevance in the research process is not defined or predetermined from above by science, but these questions are reflected, discussed, evaluated and reinterpreted by all participants together.
