Drawing Patterns in/from the Data: Using
Phenomenography to Understand Variation
-
what sparks generate
connections
-
research that involves arts and
craft (cutting up research results in order to identify themes)
-
familiarize yourself with the
research
-
Phenomenography is like
cataloguing, setting your categories
-
ask yourself "why do you
think that is in that category?"
"why is that category different from this other category?"
- "the data shimmers in the
intense light of our analysis" (Marton and Booth 1997, pg. 134)
-
shouldn't be a struggle to have
items fit into the variety of categories
-
word association, context
association, text and meaning
-
meaning, analogy, integration,
critique
-
from the surface to deep
reading
-
sparks, connections and reading
-
almost all students in her
study had a deep connection with text
-
focus on variation in
experiences (not students) works with constructivist learning philosophy
-
part of a class that she teaches
on reading academic literature
