    Online Learning
    This course is a combined offering for Honours, MBR, MPhil & PhD students and candidates. Consequently, difficulties are often encountered in enrolling in / accessing MyUni.

    IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE ACCESSING the MyUni site for this course: “COMMERCE 4100 Qualitative Methods (H)”, please contact the Lecturer in Charge (LIC) Dr Cate Jerram immediately! (Remember to give your official name, your preferred name, and your student id#.)

    Note: An enrollment into MyUni takes 24 hours to take effect, so - the sooner the better!
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    This course uses Blended Learning (combined face-to-face and online) and is very much geared to developing independent and inter-dependent researchers.

    The course is designed to contribute to the overall output of a thesis at the end of the year (ie: as much as possible, all assignments and activities should become a part of your research, your thesis, and journal papers you will write*)**.

    This means that:
    - participation in face-to-face classes is vital
    - participation in online activities is crucial
    - participating in and developing a community of practice is not only important now, but will ideally start to build a network of collegial peers who will continue as a support network for life

    *Qualitative Methods is primarily designed for students undertaking qualitative or hybrid research. Students who plan to use quantitative methods in their thesis but are required to take this Qualitative Methods course need to communicate with the LiC so some negotiation of applicability can be arranged.

    **Important note: in coursework, using material from one course in another is considered "self-plagiarism" and is unethical and unacceptable practice. In Higher Degree by Research (HDR) work - and therefore in this course - an important part of professional practice is peer review and building on works to produce more works (with appropriate referencing). It is acceptable and advisable practice to use the work produced in this course in your thesis (&/or proposal) and any journal articles you write about your research. However, it is NOT acceptable to use material produced in this course to submit  as an assessment activity in any other course during your Honours / MBR / MPhil or PhD program.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    This course has a 6-8 hour per fortnight face-to-face component, and requires multiple (asynchronous) online engagements each week.

    Note: The 最新糖心Vlog expects full-time students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote a total of 48 hours per week to their studies. This means that you are expected to commit approximately 9 hours (for a three-unit course) or 13 hours (for a four-unit course) of private study outside of your regular classes.

    Auditing Students

    Being permitted to audit a course is a privilege, and it is requested that students who have been granted this privilege honour the workload, reading, preparatory and participatory requirements to the same degree as enrolled students. Non-participatory auditing of the class is unfair to enrolled students, as engagement, interaction, and peer-learning are critical factors in the success of the class.
    Learning Activities Summary
    Teaching & Learning Activities Related Learning Outcomes

    10. Use of CAQDAs (particularly NVivo) to conduct many of items 1 – 11 above. 4
    Specific Course Requirements
    Participation in both face-to-face and online activities is critical and therefore is required.

    Any need to deviate from any of the stated expectations must be negotiated with the Lecturer-in-Charge.
    Small Group Discovery Experience
    There is no official "teamwork" or "groupwork" in this course.

    However, this course, with a focus on developing independent and interdependent researchers capable of producing professional journal articles, theses, and peer reviews, moves students to the next stage of collaboration beyond the Small Group Discovery Experience and works at the level of Community of (Research) Practice.

    Collaboration is encouraged. Collusion is unacceptable.
    Peer Review and support is required.
    Critical Analysis (of own work and each other's) is absolutely necessary.

    Ideally, if a Community of Practice is genuinely developed during this course, it will help each of you create a network that can build to sustain and support you throughout your entire career.
  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Method/ology Specialty Class

    The goal of this assignment is to teach your peers about a method (or methodology) so that they may understand it well enough to know whether to use it or not themselves, and to be able to recognise and evaluate research using that method.
    Arrange with the LiC to select two (or one) of the topics from the Method/ology Topics list.
    • Prepare a 20 minute class on your topic/s with Handouts (use of whiteboard is encouraged. PowerPoints are discouraged except where necessary)
    o giving a comparative analysis of two (research) methodological approaches or research methods (or one of each)
    OR
    o sharing an extensive review of a single methodology or method and how it might best be used to support Business Research for the research topics of at least two members of the class.
    o Note: activities or exercises that help acquire an understanding of the method through practice are encouraged but not required.
    • Teach your planned class to your peers.
    o 20 mins presentation and 10 mins Questions & Answer time = 30 mins (this timing may be modified if there is an activity or practice incorporated)
    o This class/presentation MUST NOT BE READ – no reading from notes or slides – TEACH the class, don’t read aloud to them.
    Note: sourcing teaching notes from elsewhere is acceptable but must be credited appropriately

    Methodology Chapter, Data Collection & Data Analysis (Mandatory First Draft)

    Write a methodology section of a Research Thesis or Proposal (appropriate to your current HDR research) including:
    • your research question/s and/or objectives;
    • a literature-based methodological justification and explanation;
    • detailed explication of your chosen method steps for data gathering, data analysis and meta-analysis;
    • ethics;
    • participant selection;
    • and all other relevant detail specific to your thesis and methodology and method-sets;
    • anticipated problems, and planned strategies for dealing with them.

    NOTE: First draft submission & deadline are mandatory. Inadequate attempts at first submission, or missed deadline, result in 10% – 30% being deducted from final submission marks.

    A comprehensive marking rubric is available. It is advisable to use the rubric as a guide for the writing and submitting of this assessment chapter.
    [Quant] Alternative to Methodology Chapter, Data Collection & Data Analysis
    • (must be negotiated with LiC)
    • Source a significant research work (or 2 works maximum) from your discipline, appropriate to your current HDR research, which was conducted using either qualitative research approach or hybrid design with a significant qualitative component.
    • Write a review paper that
    • critically evaluates the research study/ies methodologically; and
    • can contribute to the literature review for your own research (ie: it/they must be relevant to your thesis study).
    • Your critical evaluation should take into account all aspects of research design including (but not limited to):
    • relevance and applicability of methodology to the research question/s or objective/s;
    • relevance and applicability of methods to the methodological approach and to the research question/s or objective/s;
    • rigour and trustworthiness (eg: credibility, transferability, dependability, confirmability, and member checking);
    • ethics;
    • consistency of methodological language (ie: using qualitative not quantitative terminology);
    • how these methodological approaches and methods might be applicable (or not) for your research, and why you have chosen not to use them / why your chosen design and methods are more appropriate.

    The finished review should require approximately 2500 – 3000 words to address all issues adequately.
    NOTE: First draft submission & deadline are mandatory. Inadequate attempts at first submission, or missed deadline, result in 10% – 30% being deducted from final submission marks. 

    NVivo11 Pro Project

    Objective: demonstrate the ability to use fundamental tools in NVivo11 Pro to support research activity
    Deadline: this NVivo project will be built (partially) during classes throughout semester, and will be assessed during the last scheduled class of semester.
    Details:
    1. Create a number of relevant folders for organizing your project and your data. Include:
      • Admin folder
      • Ethics sub-folder
      • Literature folder
      • Folders relevant to your data collection (relevant to your chosen methodology).
    2. Import a minimum of:
      • 3 articles (including both Word.docx and .pdf files)
      • 1 image (.jpeg) and
      • 1 one audio or video file
      • 1 dataset (questionnaire, survey or classification sheet) including classifiable & code-able data
      • 1 social media (facebook, linked in, or twitter) or EverNote or OneNote file that are relevant to the development of your research questions/propositions/(hypotheses if doing a quantitative thesis).
    3. Import EndNote meta-data and link to journal articles in your project.
    4. Create an internal document named “Research Journal”.
    5. Populate your research journal with a number of relevant date-and-time-stamped entries.
    6. Create a coding list including at least 10 nodes, incorporating at least two parent/child nodes (child nodes with ‘siblings’).
    7. Create a minimum of
      • 2 memos (at least one linked and one unlinked)
      • 1 see-also link
      • 1 annotation
      • 1 hyperlink.
    8. Create at least one set.
    9. Create at least one relationship type and at least one linked relationship.
    10. Create at least one set of node classifications with attributes and assigned values.
    11. Create at least two dynamic Maps (Concept Map or Project Map that are linked to Project Items (minimum 5 shapes connected, including three linked to data). The Map may be a priori, a posteriori, or both, your own creation or a theoretical framework, conceptual lens or theory you are applying to your research.
    12. Design, run and save at least three different types of query.
    13. Generate at least two different visualisations (additional to the 2 Maps) of some element of your data. These may include 2- or 3-dimensional charts; tree maps; word trees; or cluster analysis.
    14. Export (as a Project):
      • One node (entire content) including references from text;
      • audio OR video (both is fine); and
      • a minimum of one (coded) image/picture.
    15. Email the export to your LiC (Cate) as a zipped file incorporating the html file and the html folder.
    16. The entire NVivo project must have some basic coherence as a single project that is genuinely representative of the students’ research and proposal or thesis.

    * Although this is a Qualitative Methods course, and Literature Reviews are taught and developed in your discipline-specific Readings and Theory courses, Literature Review materials (rather than your research Data Gathering and Analysis) are developed in this assessment activity because:
    Development of research question / propositions / hypotheses (ie: identifying gap) is a core component of methodology and method and is usually built through and justified in the Literature Review.
    The timing of this course requires assessment item completion at a date before most students will have completed adequate data gathering, but at a similar time when they will need to use exactly the same processes as data analysis to complete their Literature Review.
    ALL students taking Qualitative Methods as a course will need to conduct a Literature Review, even if they are not using a qualitative methodology for their research design, thus making this assessment item completely relevant to all students.

    The design of this course is purposefully geared to ‘usefulness’ in the students’ thesis year, and this assessment item in NVivo will be useful for students’ Literature Review assignment in Readings courses as well as the Literature Review in their theses.
    For students using qualitative research design or methodology for their thesis, having the Literature Review already complete within an NVivo project will simplify, speed and aid further use of NVivo for data gathering and analysis.

    Methodology Chapter, Data Collection & Data Analysis (Final Submission)


    (100% quantitative researchers can negotiate alternative assessment with the LIC - see Alt Assessment below)

    Write the Data Collection and Data Analysis component of the method/ology section of your Research Thesis or Proposal (appropriate to your current HDR research) including:
    • your research question/s and/or objectives;
    • a literature-based methodological justification (of your methods choices - not your research gap);
    • detailed explication of your chosen method steps for data gathering, data analysis and meta-analysis;
    • ethics;
    • participant selection;
    • and all other relevant detail specific to your thesis and method-sets (framed within your methodology and consistent to that methodology);
    • anticipated problems; and planned strategies for dealing with them.

    NOTE: First draft submission & deadline are mandatory. Inadequate attempts at first submission, or missed deadline, result in 10% – 30% being deducted from final submission marks.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
