When qualitative approach?
• The purpose of the research is to understand the phenomena in its’ authentic context.
• Phenomena is difficult to ’reach’ by using quantitative methods.
Qualitative research process
• Recognizing the need for the research• Setting research questions• Collecting relevant data• Interprating the data• Forming theoretical framework
– Specification of research questions• Writing findings and conclusions

Aims of the study
Aim of the stydy is to increase understanding about
1) The occurrence of self-reguled learning and
2) promotion of self-reguled learning during the UBIKO-project during the school year 2012-2013.
Research questions
1. How does SRL accours among 4-5 graders?a. What kind of learning strategies do pupils use
during their study?b. What kind of changes appear in the occurance of
SrL among strategically high and low pupils?
2. How can pupils SRL be promoted?a. How did learning context supported the occurance
of SRL?b. How do teachers conceptualize the promotion of
SRL?

Diaries – Process dataWeekly diary (Google form/paper/Edmodo)1. List two to three things you learned this week.2. When could you decide what to study? Or did you always study the same things as everyone else?3. What kind of things did you WANT to learn this week? 4. Why did you want to learn these things?5. How did you help yourself learn?
Periodic diary(Paper and pen)1. How do you feel when you understand something new?
* Describe in your own words why you think you feel that way. * Give an example.
2. Describe how you work when you learn well the things you must study.
* What is going on inside you at that time? * What kind of things are related to understanding something?* How were you working at such a time?* Where and when were you working at such a time? * Why were you working that way?
3. How do you feel when you have difficulties and you don’t understand something?
* What could you do at that time?* How could you help yourself? * Give an example.
4. What makes me complete my schoolwork properly? (UBIKO 2, 3 and 4)* Draw a picture of yourself in the middle of the paper and list things that make you complete your schoolwork properly around it.

RG1
• Step 1– Weekly diaries– Theory quided content specification ->Coding in Nvivo
• Step 2 MSLQ – Learning profiles– 50 (81) items
• Learning strategies 9 components• (Motivation 8 components)
– 10 high – 10 low • Possibility to comare with process data
• Periodic diaries– Content analysis

RQ 2 a. How did learning context supported the occurance of SRL?
• Periodic reports– Context analysis
• Questions to data (Goodyear & Dimitriadis, 2013)1. What have pupils done?2. How teacher has promoted SRL3. What teacher would do differently?
-> Description of learning context
Goodyear, P., & Dimitriadis, Y. (2013). In medias res: Reframing design for learning. Research in Learning Technology, 21, 1–15. doi:10.3402/rlt.v21i0.19909
e.g. Interest
lowHigh
Does context offer any explanation for these differences?
• The main task of the interview is to understand the meaning of what the interviewees say.
• Interviews are useful for getting the story behind participant’s experiences.
• In-depth information about the topic.
• Follow-up/ additional data (e.g. questionnaires)
RQ 2 b. How do teachers conceptualize the promotion of SRL?
• Thematic interview• In the middle of the process• Something like
Reading, reading . Reading
Cleaning the data
Meaningful units
Rephrasing

combining of
meanings?

Analyzing qualitative data
• Creswell (1998): not any ’ready made’ procedure, it has to be self construct based on what the others have developed and applied.
• Analysis – = reading, organizing, understandin…– = reducing– = dialogue with theory, data and one’s own thinking.
• Aim of the research analysis method• Analysis methods are always resercher’s
choises justify!
