Qualitative psychological research

As a teacher, I face the challenge of consistently providing students with relevant, instructive feedback to further their motivation and growth. Meaningful feedback such as this is an essential part of a successful classroom (Marzano, 2010). Teachers must also give students the tools to form a positive outlook towards learning with the hope that students will become lifelong learners. Motivation to learn can be a key component in this process of creating lifelong learners and individuals…

Qualitative research seeks answers to question in a systematic manner to generates findings that are applicable beyond the immediate boundaries of this research and that the researcher cannot determine in advance.

1. a) Considering the nature of the represented data, the form of the visual is appropriate and delivers the information in an effective manner. The table presents information clearly and is easy to read (DeSmet 1; What You Need to Know). This choice of visual in a form of table results from the idea that a table can depict a wide range of numerical data and “present several variables for a number of items” (Markel 192). Nevertheless, the table needs a title and the indication of the measure,…

Edgar’s descriptions. Once Edgar announced the death of his son, his descriptions turn from quantitative to qualitative. Firstly, Edgar notes that his child “weighed eight pounds, seven ounces, and was twenty-two inches long,” (46), a qualitative analysis of the situation, a common ground that Edgar is used to.

\section{Dynamic summarization of data streams} We define a data stream $X$ as a possibly infinite data set where each of the samples $x_{n}$ is available only after the time instant $t_{n}$. The arrival time of consecutive samples needs not to be equidistant; i.e., $% t_{n}-t_{n-1}$ may be different from $t_{n+1}-t_{n}$. The data available from the stream $X$ up to a given time instant $t_{n}$, $X_{n}$, is made up by the samples $X_{n}=\{x[0],x[1],x[2],...,x[i],...,x[n]\}$, where each sample…

The purpose of this qualitative, multiple-case study was to explore the lived experiences of China-born immigrants as they coped with (a) the devaluation of their work credentials, (b) job discrimination and employment disparities, and (c) the initiation of entrepreneurial activity as a path to upward economic and social mobility in the GTA.
