Examples of such sequences from organizational behavior include organizational life cycles, patterns of innovation development, and career tracks of individuals. The methods considered here enable the analyst to find characteristic patterns in such sequences. Forces shaping those patterns can then be found by more conventional methods. After a brief definitional section, the paper begins by discussing three types of sequence questions: (1) questions about whether a typical sequence or sequences exist, (2) questions about why such patterns might exist, and (3) questions about the consequences of such patterns. The theoretical foundations of the first type of question, which is in fact the most important, are then considered. Having established the legitimacy of the approach here taken, the paper then introduces two exemplary datasets with which to focus discussion. These raise the issue of conceptualization and measurement of sequence data. Illustrative cases are presented to show the importance of extreme care in conceiving a sequence to measure and then choosing indicators for it. The paper then turns to methods proper, considering them in several categories. It first briefly mentions methods not employing "distance measures" between events: permutational techniques, stochastic (e.g., Markov) models, and durational methods. Most of these do not directly address sequence questions but can be used to do so if necessary. Turning to the methods based on event distance, the paper first considers the problem of measuring distance between events (1) in terms of elapsed time, (2) in terms of categories of events, and (3) in terms of observed successions. It then considers methods for unique event sequences (sequences in which no events repeat), proposing the use of multidimensional scaling and illustrating it with an analysis of data on medical organizations. For the separate case of repeating event sequences, the paper discusses optimal matching methods, which count the number of individual transformations required to change one sequence into another. These methods are illustrated by an analysis of data on musicians' careers. The paper then briefly considers the problem of finding subsequences common to several longer sequences (or repeated in one longer sequence). It closes with a discussion of assumptions made and caveats required when these types of methods are used.

This topic was the focus of a symposium held during the Second B erlin Sum - mer School for Qualitative Research Methods in July 2006. In this contribution, some of the issues discussed during the symposium are taken up and extended, and some basic dimensions underlying these issues are summarized. & How qualitative research methods and methodology are taught is closely linked to the ways in which qualitative researchers in the social sciences conceptualize themselves and their discipline. In the following, we distinguish between a paradigmatic and a pragmatic view. From a pragmatic point of view, qualitative research methods are considered research strategies or techniques and can be taught in the sense of recipes with specific steps to be carried out. According to a paradigmatic point of view (strongly inspired by constructivism), qualitative research methods and methodology are conceptualized as a craft to be practiced together by a "master" and an "apprentice." Moreover, the teaching of qualitative research methods also depends heavily on the institutional standing of qualitative compared to quantitative research method. & Based on these considerations, five basic dimensions of learning about and teaching qualitative research methods are suggested: ways of teaching (ranging from the presentation of textbook knowledge to cognitive apprenticeship) and instructors' experience with these; institutional contexts, including their development and the teaching of qualitative research methods in other than university contexts; the "fit" between personality and method, including relevant personal skills and talents; and, as a special type of instructional context that increasingly has gained importance, distance learning and its implications for learning about and teaching qualitative research methods. & Key words: learning about and teaching qualitative methods and methodology, qualitative research styles, quantitative and qualitative methods and methodology, methods and methodology as craft, methods and methodology as research strategy, didactics of research methods and methodology, institutional contexts of instruction and learning, fit between personality and method, transfer of qualitative research skills, learning about and teaching qualitative methods in the context of digital communication 1.

This position is taken to imply that social researchers typically take the view that research methods need to be tailored to the research questions that guide an investigation. The paper questions how far this position pertains to actual research practice. Drawing on interviews with researchers about their practices in relation to mixed-method research, two discourses were found in the transcripts. A particularistic discourse that reflects the traditional view, whereby mixed-method research is viewed as only appropriate when research questions warrant it, was uncovered. In addition, a universalistic discourse, which sees mixed-method research as more generally superior, was also uncovered.

Close examination of perception, intentionality, and interpretation is integral to individuals' activities related to searching for and retrieving information, determining relevance, and using technology. Essential to the realization of phenomenology's potential is adoption of communication by dialogue so that an information seeker is ab le both to conceptualize need and to articulate that need.

Card sorting involves categorizing a set of pictures, objects or labelled cards into distinct groups using a single criterion. This paper focuses on the challenges associated with analyzing the data that result from card sorts, especially when large data sets are generated. Traditional semantic analysis methods that require direct researcher interpretation of elicited linguistic terms are distinguished from methods that are purely syntactic, and hence can be automated. Each paper within this special issue is summarized and its contribution to card sorting in general, and data analysis in particular, is highlighted. The set of novel computational techniques presented in several of the papers in this issue is examined. The paper concludes by noting that even large-scale data sets can be meaningfully analysed by combining well-known interpretative methods with the new computational approaches presented within this special issue.

Analyses of card sorts often involve subjective examination of criteria or category names or using clustering techniques, neither of which lend themselves well to direct statistical analysis. This paper defines NMST, a quantitative measure of knowledge discrimination based on repeated, single-criterion card sorts that is independent of criteria or category names and that is particularly amenable to statistical analysis. The NMST measure is illustrated by applying it to a particular data set collected in a large multinational card sort study of subjects, where the knowledge area comes from a first-year programming course. Applied to this data set, the NMST measure is shown to distinguish, with statistical significance, between a set of subjects with only an introduction to programming and a set of subjects who have completed the equivalent of a bachelor's degree or higher in a computing-related discipline.}, file = {FT-2005001.pdf:FT-2005001.pdf:PDF;FT-2005001.pdf:FT-2005001.pdf:PDF;FT-2005001.pdf:FT-2005001.pdf:PDF}, keywords = {Card-sorting}, owner = {Kristina}, reprintstatus = {pdf}, timestamp = {2008.07.05} } @BOOK{Fransella2004, author = {Fransella, Fay and Bannister, Donald}, title = {A manual for repertory grid technique}, year = {2004}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken, NJ}, edition = {2nd ed.}, pages = {266}, owner = {Kristina}, timestamp = {2008.07.05} } @BOOK{Franzosi2004, author = {Franzosi, Roberto}, title = {From Words to Numbers: Narrative, Data, and Social Science}, year = {2004}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, address = {Cambridge}, series = {Structural analysis in the social sciences}, pages = {476}, loc-callno = {UNC DAV H61 .F637 2004}, mynote = {I think this book is useless.

The pictures on the cards were taken from catalogues, and showed women's outfits which might be worn in an office. The subjects sorted the cards repeatedly and generated criteria and categories of their own choice. Some of the criteria and categories had not been previously reported in the clothing research literature. Over half of the male subjects, but none of the female subjects, used 'married/unmarried woman' as a sorting criterion, although only one of the images sorted showed a wedding ring. A significantly higher proportion of male than of female subjects used dichotomous categorization (i.e. sorting the cards into two piles for one or more of the criteria). The reasons for this are obscure, but do not appear to be a simple outcome of males not knowing much about female clothing. Previous research into clothing has tended to involve researcher-centred approaches such as semiotics; the results from this study suggest that there would be advantages in wider use of subject-centred approaches such as card sorts, both in this domain and elsewhere.

This article proposes that concepts of knowledge organization relating to relevance, precision, recall, coextensiveness, exhaustivity, specificity, and consistency offer a ready-made model that can be applied to research data. The knowledge organization (KO) model is reinterpreted for transferability to quantitative, qualitative, and textual research. In each instance, the model's applicability is illustrated with examples from the authors' research. This exploration demonstrates the model's resiliency in organizing numeric data, coding transcripts, and marking up textual statements. The limitations of the model are noted and compromises are described, providing a valuable approach to meaningful data preparation for researchers, educators, students, and reviewers of research across disciplines. The article concludes that the KO model contributes significantly to the ability of researchers to collect and organize data in a manner most likely to shed light on research problems they address.

It points to similarities between the conditions of anthropological knowledge and those of everyday life through a discussion of a single ethnographic example, the buying and selling of cattle in south-west France. Four interrelated themes emerge. First, an exploration of the idea of 'acquiring habits for action' through fieldwork, or apprenticeship, and its congruence with the practices of everyday life, for this has implications that impinge upon discussions of ethnographic method, ethnographic writing and the status of anthropological knowledge. Second, attention is drawn to the effects introduced into ethnographic descriptions and, more generally, into social practice, by the abstracting or 'objectifying' properties of language, that tend to eliminate any trace of temporality and of the acquisition of habits, of context, and of 'lived life'. The third theme, which is organized around the inescapably temporal nature of the experience of everyday life and the potential inadequacy of language to express fully that nature, concerns the complexity of 'social ordering' and the importance of what has been called 'mutual interpretation' in the creation of 'the social'. Experience is structured by the exploration of heteroclite realities that are owned by nobody, but which are functions of everybody's understandings. Lastly, this location of the 'objectivity' of the social emphasizes the matter of constraints to be acknowledged and resources to be exploited, and in particular points to questions of inequality or power, and how these pertain to the field, fieldwork and ethnography.}, file = {JT-1994001.pdf:JT-1994001.pdf:PDF;JT-1994001.pdf:JT-1994001.pdf:PDF;JT-1994001.pdf:JT-1994001.pdf:PDF}, issn = {0025-1496}, keywords = {Everyday, methods-for-study}, owner = {Kristina}, reprintstatus = {pdf}, timestamp = {2008.07.05} } @ARTICLE{Kanstrup2002, author = {Kanstrup, Anne Marie}, title = {Picture the practice: using photography to explore use of technology within teachers' work practices}, journal = {FQS: Forum: Qualitative Social Research}, year = {2002}, pages = {n.p.}, volume = {3}, number = {2}, url = {http://www.qualitative-research.net/index.php/fqs/article/viewArticle/856/1860#g3}, abstract = {This article describes photography as a means for data collection and analysis in a workplace study on the use of technology within teachers' work practices.

A methodological (conventional) answer to this question usually speaks of mental processes and conceptual work. This paper suggests a different view???sociological rather than methodological; or more precisely a view inspired by a contemporary sociology of science. It describes qualitative analysis as a set of material practices. Taking grounded theory methodology and the work with the computer programme Atlas.ti as an example, it is argued that thinking is inseparable from doing even in this domain. It is argued that by adopting the suggested perspective we might be better able to speak of otherwise hardly graspable processes of qualitative analysis in more accountable and instructable ways. Further, software packages would be better understood not only as "mere tools" for coding and retrieving, but also as complex virtual environments for embodied and practice-based knowledge making. Finally, grounded theory methodology might appear in a somewhat different light: when described not in terms of methodological or theoretical concepts but rather in terms of what we practically do with the analysed data, it becomes perfectly compatible with the radical constructivist, textualist, or even post-structuralist paradigms of interpretation (from which it has allegedly departed by a long way).

The interpretive turn has implications for history, memory, and storage of data. However, while recognizing the interactionist and contextual nature of data collection, the article points out that it is counterproductive to overemphasize its implications, as some postmodern strands of interpretive research do. Drawing on the hermeneutic notions of objectivation and the hermeneutic circle, it is argued that interpretive research data consist of objectivations, and therefore lend themselves to storage and future revision, newly emerging questions, and (re-) interpretation. Furthermore, data storage allows for data access by non-specialists, including the subjects of the research. Archiving consequently potentially contributes to empowerment, feedback and dialogue.

Respondents were asked to discuss either a serious life or health situation of their choice. First they were asked to describe the situation in terms of sequential steps, to form the timeline. For each step, they were then asked to remember the questions they had at each previously named step. Here the interview technique diverged from the strict time-line interview format. For specific points in the map identified by researchers, open-ended questions "querying respondents about their behavior, thoughts and the reasons behind those behaviors and thoughts" were asked to "tap into the evaluation criteria behind the respondent's thoughts, actions and reactions. Probes for clarity, probes for coverage, and chaining for depth were also employed. The method did result in a set of criteria, though there were more criteria regarding source evaluation than strategy evaluation. Strength of time-line interviewing methodology: - taps into cognitive behavior - has been more widely used in a variety of settings than other user-oriented methods - presupposes no particular information system, thereby giving us access to any and all information systems - "takes advantage of the way she assumes human beings perceive their realities by tapping respondents' experiences in sequential order. This allows the researcher access to either past, present or future criteria as defined by the respondent, a method that is relatively naturalistic and unobtrusive."

Rigor in IS research is still one of the critical scientific issues facing the field. Without solid validation of the instruments that are used to gather data on which findings and interpretations are based, the very scientific basis of the profession is threatened. This study builds on four prior retrospectives of IS research that conclude that IS positivist researchers continue to face major barriers in instrument, statistical, and other forms of validation. It goes beyond these studies by offering analyses of the state-of-the-art of research validities and deriving specific heuristics for research practice in the validities. Some of these heuristics will, no doubt, be controversial. But we believe that it is time for the IS academic profession to bring such issues into the open for community debate. This article is a first step in that direction. Based on our interpretation of the importance of a long list of validities, this paper suggests heuristics for reinvigorating the quest for validation in IS research via content/construct validity, reliability, manipulation validity, and statistical conclusion validity.

The case made is that generalisation is inevitable, desirable and possible. It is held that interpretivism must employ a special kind of generalisation, characterised here as moderatum. However, an acknowledgement that such generalisations can be made must bring us to specify the limits of generalisation in interpretive research. These limits are the limits of interpretivism itself and the paper concludes that this implies the adoption of methodological pluralism in order to realise the full potential of the method.}, keywords = {analytic-induction-(bg)}, owner = {Kristina}, reprintstatus = {pdf}, timestamp = {2008.08.31} } @BOOK{Willis2007, author = {Willis, Jerry W. and Jost, Muktha and Nilakanta, Rema}, title = {Foundations of Qualitative Research: Interpretive and Critical Approaches}, year = {2007}, publisher = {Sage Publications Inc}, address = {Thousand Oaks, California}, owner = {Kristina}, timestamp = {2008.07.05} } @ARTICLE{Wilson2002SchutzPhenomenology, author = {Wilson, Tom D.}, title = {Alfred Schutz, phenomenology and research methodology for information behaviour research}, journal = {The New Review of Information Behaviour Research}, year = {2002}, pages = {71--81}, volume = {3}, url = {http://informationr.net/tdw/publ/papers/schutz02.html}, abstract = {Explores the phenomenological sociology of Alfred Schutz, with particular reference to his concern to understand the social distribution of knowledge in society.
