DATA COLLECTION: Systematic Observation
Researchers set up decision rules ahead of time that reduce inferences. A decision rule is a procedure set in place before we begin data collection. We construct our observational research in such a way that if someone else did it, under the same or similar circumstances, they would come up with the same result. In order to do this, our procedure and decision rules must be clearly described.
Why set up systematic observation?
So that we eliminate or reduce biassource: http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/sommerb/sommerdemo/observation/systematic.htm
Systematic observation is normally linked with the production of quantitative data and the use of statistical analysis. (Denscombe 1998)
Systematic observation has its origins in social psychology in particular the study of interaction in settings such as school classrooms. (Flanders 1970; Simon and Boyer 1970; Croll 1986)
DATA COLLECTION: Systematic Observation
Participant observation is mainly associated with sociology and anthropology, and is used by researchers to infiltrate situations, sometimes as an undercover operation, to understand the culture and processes of the groups being investigated. It usually produces qualitative data. (Denscombe 1998)

DATA COLLECTION: Participant Observation
(Becker & Geer, 1957)
By participant observation we mean the method in which the observer participates in the daily life of the people under study, either openly in the role of researcher of covertly in some disguised role observing things that happen, listening to what is said, and questioning people, over some length of time.
DATA COLLECTION: Participant Observation Participant observation "combines participation in the
lives of the people being studied with maintenance of a professional distance that allows adequate observation and recording of data" (Fetterman, 1998, pp. 34-35).
Participant observation underscores the person's role as participant in the social setting he or she observes. (Gold, 1958, Adler and Adler, 1984)
Moreover, it has been argued that in a sense all social research is a form of participant observation, because we cannot study the social world without being part of it (Hammersley & Atkinson, 1983)
Bernard (1988) suggests that participant observation must be learned in the field. However, he identifies several skills associated with participant observation.
SKILL OF PARTICIPANT OBSERVER Learning the Language Building explicit awareness Building Memory Maintaining Naiveté (the
quality or state of being naive ) Building writing skills
DATA COLLECTION: Participant Observation
Ethical issues
Some basic ethical principles:
The obligation to inform people that they are part of a research project is universal, no matter what your methods! Always be honest about who you are, what your research is about, why you want to talk, and what you will do with the information.Ensure your field notes and transcripts do not contain personal identifiers. Keep raw and processed data locked and/ or password protected , etc
“…it is difficult to anticipate every ethical issue. Researchers engaged in long term Participant Observation need to interrogate themselves continuously about the ethical issues arising as the research setting undergoes change”. (University of Toronto
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Ethics Board (SSH REB))

DATA COLLECTION
SURVEY DOCUMENTATION
DATA COLLECTION: SURVEY
Survey is to find how many people, within a defined social-geographical area, hold particular qualities.
Survey types:Factual – aims at collecting facts about the condition or population.Attitude – aims at producing an accurate picture of people’s attitude as a guide to their likely behavior.Social psychological – used survey designs and questionnaire to investigate the distribution of personality via various kinds of attitudes measurement
RECORDING DATA IN SURVEY
QUESTIONNAIRE – Likert type questions
ANALYSE SURVEY
Part A – Demographic data analyzed item by item by determining the number and percentage of
responses for each choice.Part B – Likert scale question owing to answering a
specific aspectPart C – Open-ended to question to investigate and
elicit more narrative responses

DATA COLLECTION: DOCUMENTATION
Several publications indicate that documents as a rich source of data.
(Webb, Campbell, Schwartz, & Sechrest, 1966; Hareven, 1978; Aries, 1962; Laslett, 1965; Jackson & Winchester, 1979)
Role of the ResearcherThe understanding of historical method and knowing how to use content analysis are important factors for the researcher in understanding and using records of the past.
DATA COLLECTION: DOCUMENTATION
Role of the Consumer3 primary activities; searching for and sifting the asserted facts, interpretation, and the written word of narration.
Documents do not supply the final truth, for history and social science are always in the process of being rewritten.
DATA COLLECTION: DOCUMENTATION
Evidence extracted from sources such as population censuses, school records, vital statistics, cemetery records, diaries, autobiographies, personal letters, economic records, books, magazines, speeches, court records, congressional records, laws and regulations.
Collection of other materials of sources stored away by various sectors of societies and individuals.
Written or oral record that contains information about human behavior, social conditions and social processes can be subsumed under the broad are of documents.

Data collection: Observation, survey, interviews, & documents
Survey - Participants response (in writing) to questions regarding the institute. Did not elaborate much on the questions.
Observation – Detailed field notes were taken during the observations at six school sites during the lesson studies. Each of these six observations lasted between two and three hours. The lesson studies were video taped and field-notes recorded the observations and the data were transcribed immediately following each of the observations.
Documents - Archived data served as secondary source includes participant notebooks, completed unit plans and samples of student work.

Professional Development in Arts Education
Ethic - Participants were informed.
300 hours of Observations, 2-3 hours each session
-Detailed field notes -Transcribed immediately following each observation
