COP3 : Lecture 3

Lecture three -

Methodologies and critical analysis:

text heavy presentation self referral to the studio PowerPoint is advisable.

– You must have a clear methodological focus
– this is level VI critical writing, so it got to be good
– mainly marked in written element
– the synthesis will happen more on the blog

methods:
how is the information you have found source, collected/collated/presented
– write 100 words a plan of your methodologies, quantitative qualitative and so on
– that is a great steel thought analyse
– clearly thinking about where and what sort of research you are going to look at and which you will ignore
– get enough so that it will not be biased back up your points
– shows you are in control of research project
– a way of approaching focus and getting to the core
– what methods and approaches will get to the point
– most appropriate not just doing a survey for the sake of it

the following is what happens in the introduction to your essay:
– organised the principles of your essay
– approve  and enquiry rate of your essay
– think about limitations each methodology has one.
– Methodology is distinct from theory
– theory is just a particular lens that you have looked at the world through
– theory should not be the be all and end all
– what a theory is necessary which relate, fuse theories
– possible person to look at Shannon Weaver – mathematical communication theory model
– different lens theory gives a different outcome on the same object

action research:
practice-based research
experiment –  act of making– research 
– same critical rigour, evaluate, document, reflect record, improve
– needs theory, a critical lens
– you need a methodology and theory
– attempts to write out a sketch of methodology and theory
– how to collect information/structure
– which theories use/reject at least one theory should be used
– apply to study
– outline in introduction address sales in conclusion

critical analysis:
– outline ways we interpret and reach decisions
– how we interpret theories
– do not cause offence when talking about someone do it in a critical way
– created argument
– being critical is distancing oneself, it is not emotive it is critically informed
–Wittgen stein  Derek
duck rabbit. You can see even a duck or a rabbit. In life you usually report one way. but with this you can see both, and have to acknowledge they are both there. You can't make it one. In the conclusion you would acknowledge both.
– Not such thing as a neutral opinion
– state your take on things
– say something with conviction and packets up with research no wishy-washy. Make it clear
– different perspectives make different results
– being critical is important with theorists
– think about your take of your bias
– context is very important
– consider in your analysis everything you are going to include and content
– leave enough time for word development
– critical analysis is not just reporting the duck it's about not just looking at/analysing chapters, why was it written, when, applied to what think that context it was written in.
– Map the analysis into research

evidence:
– don't just make points, back them up with evidence quotes empirical evidence data
– every argument needs backing up
– not just one thing to back up arguments needs more
– evidence, reason, logic, argument
– research – thought – analysis needs to happen first

Triangulation:
– evidence you've looked at more than one source and been able to marry them together to make a critical point

– can be done with visuals research
