Research findings

On Tuesday, we again touched on very important points in relation to representations of findings in qualitative research. I am personally a visual learner, therefore I like to include visual elements to my study such as maps, diagrams, drawings or cartoons. The type of representations of findings might be changed depending on  research area, research institution and research approach. For instance,  last year, for an international research, I includes some photos as a part of the findings. However, using photos for a  research exploring a curriculum theory is quite hard. Considering IU settings, areas like  literacy and art education are more flexible in terms of using various representations of  findings. In sum, personal preferences of researchers, the norms of research institution, the type of resercah, the area in which research conducted, context of research, and the sensitivity of data  are among the factors that might affect selection of alternative representations.
