data analysis – tallying, coding,
transcription
o
recording
findings
– video footage, audio material, online survey results, paper-based, digital.
B1 Utilising research methodologies
Individual
activity: Learners should analyse the research techniques and methodologies

o
working through previous questionnaires to improve question quality and validity
o
revising questionnaire scales and sample selection
o analysing data from previous research and
recording their findings appropriately.
B2 Selecting,
editing and deselecting materials
Individual activity:
Learners should analyse the research techniques and methodologies previously
used to assess suitability and suggest improvements by:
o
sifting – to remove
irrelevant data or information
o
annotating – to pick out
content that is relevant to research topic.
Individual
activity:
Learners should analyse the research techniques and methodologies previously
used to assess suitability and suggest improvements by:
o
editing – selection and
de-selection, redrafting content to ensure it is relevant and covers research
focus, selecting material for final catalogue
o
ordering – hierarchy of
findings
o collating – charts, graphs and visual representation of findings.
