ahhh sounds a pain. I haven't done a model answer on it but i've got a load of stuff i reckon needs to go in, providing the question is about participant observation. Which is basically where the researcher just analyses the subjects from a distance and has no direct contact. This is basically what i have so far
- Aim and Rationale - just a brief para on what Nayak did and state his aim
- Fitness for purpose - was his research fit for Nayaks aim and what he wanted to achieve, in this case he had to use methological plurasm as he had to use a variety of methods
- Gatekeepers - who did he have to seek permission from? Headteachers, Parents etc.
- Qualative date - explain what it is, Nayak looked at views and opinions of his subjects rather than using questionaries which would be quantative.
- Interpretevist Approach - Arguments for and against using Qualative data, mention ecological validity as the research was done in their own environment.
- Micro Approach - small group of people, potentially not the most reliable sample
- Operationalised - the questions were easy to understand before he decided to opt for participant observation
- Covert observation - Unethical?
- Going Native - Always bumps into his subjects not necessarily on purpose
- Lots of observation needed as the charger kids were never in school so research could not be gathered
- Piloted - iron out any problems before his undertaking his research
- Ethical Approach - how was it ethical and how wasn't it
- 'Vestenien' - Waberian word, means looking at the research from their point of view.
- Reflectivity - He is observing but his data is reflective of his own perceptions of what he is seeing, so it might be bias.
- Conclusion - Just state what Nayak found.
Hope this helps, just what i've got so far.
Anyone else got any ideas, anything i might of missed worth mentioning?
