It…

Varvantakis, Christos; Nolas, Sevasti-Melissa – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2019
In this paper, we argue for a view of analysis as an embodied practice and review others' testimonies of carrying out multimodal ethnography. This review suggests that metaphors are key for communicating what happens to "us" in the course of the research and our subsequent sense-making practices. We identify four metaphors for…

Larsen, Thomas; Tabor, Lisa; Smith, Patrick – Journal of Geography, 2021
Increased liability, limited resources, and global pandemics reduce opportunities for field-based learning and accelerate transition to online education across grade levels and geographic contexts. Conventional expectations about teaching through fieldwork (i.e., in-person, led by the instructor) no longer encompass geography as a field…

Gummer, Tobias; Blumenstiel, Jan Eric – Field Methods, 2018
To reduce nonresponse bias in surveys, it has been suggested that researchers allocate additional fieldwork efforts to cases with low estimated response propensity. If these efforts are successful, nonresponse bias may be reduced by changing the variance of response propensities and hence the covariance between response propensities and variables…

Jacob, Anupama; Bentley, Kia J. – Journal of Teaching in Social Work, 2023
The long-recognized disconnect between research and practice is reflected by social work students who often report significant apprehension about their research classes, likely at least in part because of a poor understanding of the research-practice interface and an unfamiliarity with larger professional social change initiatives like the Grand…

Geerlings, Lennie; Lundberg, Anita – Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 2020
This paper analyzes how knowledge is reproduced as "universal" in contemporary higher education and how this production of universality influences the application of knowledge. Using a case study of clinical psychology, it describes the results of over two years of ethnographic fieldwork in a university and professional settings in…

Ross, Karen; Call-Cummings, Meagan – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2019
In this article, we interrogate the concept of methodological 'failures' as they arise during fieldwork, in the process of collecting empirical data. We highlight how the techniques of validity horizon matrices and power analysis can be used as methodological tools to illustrate moments in the fieldwork process where these 'failures' occur and to…

Kristin Persson; Maria Andrée; Cecilia Caiman – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2024
Fieldwork in ecology education does things. By employing Donna Haraway's concept "becoming-with companion species" and Cathrine Hasse's "emotional collectives" to explore fieldwork practice on a bog in Sweden, a piece of the doings will be told. The aim of this study is to explore how ecology fieldwork affords emotional…

Hoyer, Lauren; Hastie, Warwick W. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
We present a quantitative study of responses to voluntary and anonymous surveys of undergraduate geology students enrolled at an English-medium, research university in South Africa. This research captured student interest in geology, their perceived level of understanding of key geological concepts, and the extent to which in-class and in-field…
