Do organizational variables influence satisfaction with nursing student practices?     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2021

Clinical practices are a vital component in the education of registered nursing students. This study analyzed the influence of organizational variables on satisfaction with clinical practices. A cross-sectional study design involved 572 registered nursing students. Two statistical methodologies, hierarchical regression models and qualitative comparative analysis of diffuse sets, were used for data analysis. In the hierarchical regression models the number of students supervised predicted satisfaction with clinical educator (β = -.22; p ≤ .001), environment (β = -.13; p ≤ .05) and overall satisfaction (β = -.15; p ≤ .05). However, in the qualitative comparative analysis, the type of center, as well as the number of services assigned to the clinical educator and the number of students per clinical educator period were conditions that influence satisfaction with clinical practices. The type of center and the clinical educator are key factors related to registered nursing students’ satisfaction with clinical practices.  相似文献   

Photovoice as a research method for higher education research

ABSTRACT

Higher education (HE) research often draws on a range of qualitative research approaches. However, some methods developed in other fields are underutilised in HE research, even though they could be of great use for answering particular kinds of research questions, or for involving students more actively in the research process. In this article, we draw on a study that piloted different methodological approaches to explore students’ conceptions of good teaching and effective learning at university. The participants in our study included 33 high achieving international, Māori, Pacific Island, and (other) local students enrolled in Humanities subjects. Our study used photovoice as a visual data collection approach in conjunction with more traditional methods of data collection: open-ended focus group questions and critical incident technique. In this article, we review the photovoice literature, which is mostly from outside HE. Then, we describe our study, discussing the students’ responses to photovoice, and the different kinds of data it elicited. We note that, while most students expressed appreciation of the photovoice approach, some also found it restrictive and challenging in some respects. We conclude, photovoice offers a useful methodological addition to HE research, while noting, as with all data collection approaches, researchers need to be mindful of its limitations.  相似文献

Understanding Instructor Immediacy,Credibility, and Facework Strategies Through a Qualitative Analysis of Written Instructor Feedback     

Elizabeth E. Gardner  Lindsey B. Anderson  Andrew D. Wolvin 《Qualitative Research Reports in Communication》2017,18(1):27-35

Written feedback is an important but often overlooked aspect of an instructor’s training and responsibilities, even though it is central to student learning. We analyzed 3,071 written instructor comments on a single assignment from 95 sections to understand how immediacy, credibility, and facework are reflected in written feedback. In taking a heuristic approach to data analysis, we found two overarching themes: fostering goodwill and using context-specific feedback. These overlapping themes demonstrated various strategies of instructor immediacy, credibility, and facework that negotiated the instructor–student relationship in conjunction with course content and policies. Examining these themes allowed us to identify strengths and weaknesses in methods of instructor feedback that would not have been visible using traditional quantitative methods of assessment and have practical implications for the administration of our course.  相似文献   

论信息哲学对科研成果评价的方法论意义     

任全娥 《评价与管理》2008,(4)

科研成果的定量评价方法与定性评价方法是目前国内外通行的两大科研评价方法。论文认为,信息哲学从信息中介与信息构建的角度分别为定量评价方法与定性评价方法提供了理论支持,对科研成果评价具有方法论意义。通过论述信息中介说对间接定量评价方法的指导,提出定量与定性相结合的科研成果综合评价方法论;深入分析信息构建说与主观定性评价方法之间的关系,认为我们追求主观定性评价的客观性,实际上指的是评价主体间的一致性,并提出基于信息构建来解决主观评价方法合理性问题的假设前提。  相似文献   

Commercially sexually exploited youths’ health care experiences,barriers, and recommendations: A qualitative analysis     

《Child abuse & neglect》2018

The current study sought to understand commercially sexually exploited (CSE) youths’ health care experiences, barriers to care, and recommendations for improving health care services. We conducted focus groups (N = 5) with 18 CSE youth from February 2015 through May 2016 at two group homes serving CSE youth in Southern California. We performed thematic content analysis to identify emergent themes about CSE youths’ perspectives on health care. Youth described facilitators to care, including availability of services such as screening for sexually transmitted infections, knowledge about sexual health, and a strong motivation to stay healthy. Barriers included feeling judged, concerns about confidentiality, fear, perceived low quality of services, and self-reliance. Overall, youth emphasized self-reliance and “street smarts” for survival and de-emphasized “victimhood,” which shaped their interactions with health care, and recommended that health providers develop increased understanding of CSE youth. Our findings suggest that providers and community agencies can play an essential role in raising awareness of the needs of CSE youth and meet their health needs through creating a non-judgmental environment in health care settings that validates the experiences of these youth.  相似文献   

Professional development at the local level: Necessary and sufficient conditions for critical colleagueship     

《Teaching and Teacher Education》2015

This paper examines factors that contributed to critical conversations in teacher communities of inquiry (CI) as part of a statewide professional development initiative in the United States. Based on a three-year mixed method design, we use qualitative comparative analysis to investigate the influence of combinations of conditions on the depth of discussion. Results suggest that there were three conditions associated with the extent to which CI members engaged in discussions with substantive interaction and reflection: a clear purpose, coach questioning, and the connection of theory to practice. The findings contribute to the understanding of effective reform implementation in different contexts.  相似文献   

Behavioural disorders in Danish schools: a qualitative analysis of background factors     

Niels Egelund  Kim Foss Hansen 《欧洲特需教育杂志》2013,28(3):285-296

A national survey has shown that the incidence of serious behavioural problems in Danish schools stands at 10 per cent. The present qualitative study makes use of a broad-spectrum ecological model in the search for aetiological factors underlying behavioural disturbance. The study covers 34 typical Danish schools matched in pairs on the basis of degree of disturbance in the national survey. The results indicate behavioural problems to be related more to system factors than to purely individual factors.  相似文献   

Aligning epistemology with member checks     

《International Journal of Research & Method in Education》2013,36(4):374-384

ABSTRACT

Thoroughly conceptualized and designed member checks can strengthen credibility in qualitative research. Member checks can help researchers increase accuracy of their findings, reflect on their topic, and create change. Although member checks are widely used, numerous researchers have argued that they are often underdeveloped in terms of design and implementation. Yet, few researchers have examined how differences in epistemology may contribute to discrepancies between participants and researchers. A personal example is described where epistemology and member checking procedures complicated data analysis between a researcher and participant.  相似文献   

Explicating anomie in refugee women’s integration narratives: A qualitative research study     

《Int J Intercult Relat》2020

Refugee women flee from their home countries due to civil unrest, war, persecution and migrate to Western countries such as the United States in search of a safe haven. This research study conducted in an Upper Midwest community in the US unveils integrations experiences of refugee women from their standpoint. The integration narratives obtained through in-depth interviews with 16 refugee women aged 40 years and above depicted traits of anomie as described by Emile Durkheim and Robert Merton. Excerpts from the integration narratives conveyed anomic traits such as feelings of, loneliness and sadness, lack of purpose/meaning, unmet expectations, feeling isolated, and retreatism mode of adaptation. Using these themes, the study explored how such experiences reinforce anomie among the refugee women. Although this research study does not claim universal representation of refugee women experiences, the discussion provided serves to help communities understand the women’s integration experiences and implement structures and practical guidelines for successful integration.  相似文献
