Data generation comprises activities such as searching for, focusing on, noting, selecting, extracting, and capturing data. This paper analyzes and compares a repertoire of...
Within the realm of qualitative research, measuring or assessing variables of learning and assessing the design may look vastly different, require vastly different data-collection and data-analysis tools, and involve vastly different research methods among different researchers.

Entering the field can be a daunting experience, even for team members who are clinicians, teachers, or researchers to whom the health care, educational, or research environments are familiar. Simply learning about the physical layout of the study settings can be challenging. Gathering some background information about the site—by looking at routin...
The evaluation team, which has named itself the Evaluation Team (ET), now includes the original consultant, graduate students, and an “insider” who is an employee of the organization. The consultant discusses the project with an additional person, a colleague who has qualitative analysis experience and asks if the person would serve as the objectiv...
Qualitative studies rely heavily on interviews. Formal interviews are occasions where both the study team member and interviewee are aware that the answers to questions are being recorded for direct contribution to the evaluation study. Formal interviews vary in their degree of structure. At one extreme is the fully unstructured interview where the...
Label each of the following interview scenarios, conducted as part of a qualitative study, as representing the fully structured, semi-structured or unstructured approach. 1. 1. A study team member “corners” a participant in a system development project following a meeting and asks for that person’s impressions on what transpired in the meeting. 2. ...
PreparationGetting StartedTopic Flow and Question FormatEnding the InterviewFocus groups differ fundamentally from the one-on-one interviews discussed above. They should not be viewed as a way to gather more interview information in less time. Focus groups are not easy to do well and, if several participants speak at the same time, audio recordings of focus groups can be hard to transcribe. When managed properly, however, ...
Ethnographic observation, in which study team members are immersed in the daily life and culture of a group for extended periods of time, is an excellent way to confirm what is discovered through other data-gathering methods such as interviews, and to generate new hypotheses and explanations (Berg and Lune 2012). There are times when participants w...
Field notes are usually handwritten notes, sometimes called “jottings,” about the setting or physical layout of the facility, activities, and events under observation. Field notes can be taken unobtrusively in a health care setting since many people are routinely taking notes. Pocket-sized notebooks are recommended for these jottings. Clipboards sh...
PreparationGetting StartedData RecordingEnding the SessionOrganized human activity produces a trail of paper or electronic documents. In biomedical informatics, these include electronic patient charts, blogs and social media posts produced by patients, the original researchers’ lab notes, various versions of computer programs and their documentation, memos prepared by the project team, minutes of decision...
Jul 1, 2022 · In this article, we describe how design-based research (DBR) methods are uniquely positioned to address the complex challenges of balancing educational and psychological research goals and design efforts to achieve actionable information about online learning environments.
Design-Based Research (DBR) is one of the most exciting evolutions in research methodology of our time, as it allows for the potential knowledge gained through the intimate connections designers have with their work to be combined with the knowledge derived from research.
Nov 5, 2022 · The voluminosity and complexity of real-world data also call for development of more appropriate, sophisticated, and innovative data processing and analysis techniques while maintaining scientific rigor in research findings, and attentions to data ethics to harness the power of real-world data.

Four broad approaches to generating QL data are introduced here: ethnographic, interview-based, participatory, and the re-purposing of documentary and archival data sources. These approaches can be drawn on to create a bespoke data generation strategy for a QL project. Longitudinal ethnographies
