Abstract In this article, interviewing from a descriptive, phenomenological, human scientific perspective is examined. Methodological issues are raised in relation to evaluative criteria as well as reflective matters that concern the phenomenological researcher. The data collection issues covered are 1) the selection of participants, 2) the number of participants in a study, 3) the interviewer and the questions, and 4) data collection procedures. Certain conclusions were drawn indicating that phenomenological research methods cannot be evaluated on the basis of an empiricist theory of science, but must be critiqued from within a phenomenological theory of science. Some reflective matters, experienced by the phenomenological researcher, are also elaborated upon.

The Relationship

The main purpose of this article is to discuss some ethical-methodological issues associated with scientific research in confinement settings, particularly those that result from the relationship with the confined individual in the framework of qualitative research. Basing the reflection on empirical research developed by both authors in Portuguese confinement settings – prisons and youth educational centres – we examine the significant challenges and dilemmas this type of research entails, exploring the interface between procedural ethics and ethics in practice at three points in the analytical process: before, during and after data collection. This article illustrates the interplay between formal and informal procedures, and between the initial distancing and strangeness when making contact with confinement settings and their social actors and the institutional and relational dynamics that become ingrained in our everyday practice. Our goal is to give visibility to these institutional and relational dynamics and to reflect on the challenges experienced by those who enter confinement settings to do research, in an effort to make the research process more transparent and at the same time more reflexive. We end our reflection advocating more ethically committed and critical scientific research.

AbstractCollections in the implementation of library activities including community reading parks have a very important role because one of the goals of users coming to the library is to look for collections. Therefore, to build a quality collection and oriented to the needs of users, it is necessary to develop a collection. The purpose of this research is to find out collection development activities which include the stages of analyzing user needs, selection policies, selection of library materials, procurement of library materials, weeding library materials and evaluating collection development. The location of this research was conducted in eight (8) community reading parks in West Bandung Regency. The method used in this study uses qualitative methods with the type of phenomenological research. The collection technique is carried out through observation, interviews and through literature study. Based on the results of the study note that the stages of collection development carried out by the managers in the community reading park (TBM) of West Bandung Regency only at the stages of analysis of user needs, selection and procurement of library materials. Whereas the collection policy stage has not been done in writing because the data collection source is also from the manager and the amount is also limited, for weeding activities so far have not been done because the number of collections and for evaluation activities are only done by asking questions about the availability of collections needed by users. However, in developing a collection of TBM managers provide space and open access for users to provide input in providing the collection needed.Keywords: collection, collection development, social inclusion, community reading parks.AbstrakKoleksi dalam kegiatan penyelenggaraan perpustakaan termasuk taman bacaan masyarakat memiliki peranan yang sangat penting karena salah satu tujuan pengguna datang ke perpustakaan adalah untuk mencari koleksi. Oleh karena untuk membangun koleksi yang berkualitas dan berorientasi pada kebutuhan pengguna perlu dilakukan pengembangan koleksi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahuai kegiatan pengembangan koleksi yang meliputi tahapan analisis kebutuhan pengguna, kebijakan seleksi, seleksi bahan pustaka, pengadaan bahan pustaka, penyiangan bahan pustaka serta evaluasi pengembangan koleksi. Lokasi penelitian ini dilakukan pada delapan (8) taman bacaan masyarakat di Kabupaten Bandung Barat. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian fenomenologi. Teknik pengumpulan dilakukan dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara serta melalui studi kepustakaan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa tahapan pengembangan koleksi yang dilakukan para pengelola di taman bacaan masyarakat (TBM) Kabupaten Bandung Barat hanya pada tahapan analisis kebutuhan pengguna, seleksi dan pengadaan bahan pustaka. Sedangkan untuk tahapan kebijakan koleksi belum dilakukan secara tertulis karena sumber pendataan juga dari pengelola dan jumlahnya juga terbatas, untuk kegiatan penyiangan selama ini belum dilakukan karena jumlah koleksi serta untuk kegiatan evaluasi hanya dilakukan dengan mengajukan pertanyaan mengenai ketersediaan koleksi yang dibutuhkan para pengguna. Namun demikian dalam melakukan pengembangan koleksi pengelola TBM memberikan ruang dan akses yang terbuka bagi pengguna dalam memberikan masukan dalam penyediaan koleksi yang dibutuhkan.Kata Kunci : koleksi, pengembangan koleksi, inklusi sosial, taman bacaan masyarakat.

Research Activities

Writing activities are an integral part of the learning process. Writing means managing ideas systematically and expressing them explicitly. Writing can mean lowering or describing graphic symbols that describe a language understood by someone. For a researcher, compiling a research management is a very important step because this step greatly determines the success or failure of all research activities. Research activities are one of the activities that are scientific in nature. Before someone starts with research activities then he must make a written plan commonly referred to as the management of research data collection. In addition, scientific research management has a clear purpose, which can later be useful as a study material about a matter and most importantly as a reference in making decisions both for the benefit of the public or government or the private sector or company.

Theses/purpose of the article – The main purpose of the article is to present the selection of personal life documents in personal bibliographies, published in Poland until 1985. Research methods – The method of analysis and criticism of personal bibliographies was used, paying attention to the selection of material, in particular the registration of personal life documents. Results and conclusions – The research undertaken shows that personal bibliographies published prior to 1985 include various types of personal life documents, but only a small part of them do so. The vast majority of the analyzed material omit such documents, although they are an extremely important source of information in scientific research, particularly useful to other fields, for example biographical studies. Personal bibliographies should record personal life documents to a much greater extent, not only those published but also in manuscripts and in the form of iconographic, audio and film documents.

The present article deals with the principles of research methods. The authors have tried to make the steps of research very simple. Many a times a person is unable to understand as to what should be done and how to conduct a research. In the forthcoming pages the researcher has tried to elucidate the steps of research. The researcher has to identify his research area and then he has to proceed to the formulation of the problem statement. Further the most important aspect is to formulate the objectives because the objectives are considered to be the soul of the research. The concepts should be identified before and so also the research design should be formulated. The tools of data collection should be selected in accordance with the nature of research. The selection of the sampling technique should be accurate and precise to avoid the sampling error. Once the data is collected, it should be classified arranged and analyzed. Later it should be interpreted in order to draw interpretation and should be concluded along with suggestions.

Philosophical Phenomenology

I show some problems with recent discussions within qualitative research that centre around the “authenticity” of phenomenological research methods. I argue that attempts to restrict the scope of the term “phenomenology” via reference to the phenomenological philosophy of Husserl are misguided, because the meaning of the term “phenomenology” is only broadly restricted by etymology. My argument has two prongs: first, via a discussion of Husserl, I show that the canonical phenomenological tradition gives rise to many traits of contemporary qualitative phenomenological theory that are purportedly insufficiently genuine (such as characterisations of phenomenology as “what-its-likeness” and presuppositionless description). Second, I argue that it is not adherence to the theories and methods of prior practitioners such as Husserl that justifies the moniker “phenomenology” anyway. Thus, I show that the extent to which qualitative researchers ought to engage with the theory of philosophical phenomenology or adhere to a particular edict of Husserlian methodology ought to be determined by the fit between subject matter and methodology and conclude that qualitative research methods still qualify as phenomenological if they develop their own set of theoretical terms, traditions, and methods instead of importing them from philosophical phenomenology.

Only recently have marketing scientists become concerned with issues in the philosophy of science. This paper points to one neglected area—the implications of a theoretical tradition for the selection of research methods (design, data collection, and data analysis). It is argued that marketing has been relying primarily on only one theoretical tradition. The dominance of this philosophy has led to marketing science growing more rapidly in the area of hypothesis testing than in the development of new, rich explanatory theories. Several suggestions are made to achieve a balance in theory construction and testing, with implications for reducing methods bias by a process of triangulating methodologies.

Sociolinguistics is the study of language variation and use in society. Interference is the event of the use of language elements of one into the other language elements that occur in the speakers themselves. This research uses descriptive qualitative method because to describe the actual realityin order to obtainan accurateand objective. Qualitative descriptive methods were used to analyzethe elements ofa word orphrase that incorporated elements of other languages with the analysis and description of the formulation of the problem is the answer. Data collection techniques using observation techniques, the determination ofthe object of research, the selection of short stories.Based on the analysis of the data in this study can be found that there are six forms of interference morphology, namely (1) the prefix nasal N-sound, (2) the addition of the suffix, (3) the exchange prefix, (4) exchange suffixes, (5) exchange konfiks, (6) removal affixes. While the syntactic interference only on the words and phrases in a sentence. The results of the study it can be concluded that the interference morphology more common than syntactic interference.

Traditional research methods are inadequate to predict and explain consumer behavior accurately in some cases. Marketing discipline tries to benefit from new technological developments in order to make up the deficiency subjects’ competence and willingness to express how they feel when they face with stimulus in traditional data collection method has an effect on the success of the method. In traditional methods, subjects often cannot remember or know the correct answer, or even if they know the answer they will give answers that satisfy the researcher. The inadequacy in traditional techniques has driven the researchers to evaluate theconsumer response more accurately. It is observed that in recent years neuromarketing techniques began to be used extensively to measure consumer responses accurate in marketing field. Although neuromarketing is commonly used in marketing field, there are some questions about the efficiency of the method. This study emphasizes the efficiency on the general evaluation of neuromarketing techniques and criticism of it. The aim of this study is to indicate the historical development of application of neuro science on marketing and consumer behavior, and to establish the future of neuro science, its opportunities and threats.

Novel Coronavirus

The novel coronavirus may impact exercise habits of those with intellectual disabilities. Due to the mandated discontinuation of face-to-face research, investigators must adapt projects to protect all involved while collecting objective physical activity metrics. This brief report outlines a modification process of research methods to adhere to social distancing mandates present during COVID-19. Actions taken included electronic consent and assent forms, an electronic survey, and mailing an accelerometer with included instructions. The amended research methods were implemented without risk for virus transmission or undue burden on the research team, participant, or caregiver. Recruitment was likely impacted by the coronavirus-mediated quarantine, plausibly resulting in bias. Objective physical activity data collection can be sufficiently modified to protect those with intellectual disabilities and investigators. Future research designs may require greater participant incentives and the creation of in-home participation.
