Previous research and this study's data suggest newspaper polls often fall short of “scientific” standards. Part of the problem is that many newspapers rely heavily on their news staff for many key aspects in the research process, including data analysis. News organizations are encouraged to rely more on “experts,” but for the long run they need to implement programs and policies that give journalists themselves the education and training necessary to handle all phases of the research process.

Data analysis is one of the most important, yet least understood, stages of the qualitative research process. Through rigorous analysis, data can illuminate the complexity of human behavior, inform interventions, and give voice to people’s lived experiences. While significant progress has been made in advancing the rigor of qualitative analysis, the process often remains nebulous. To better understand how our field conducts and reports qualitative analysis, we reviewed qualitative articles published in Health Education & Behavior between 2000 and 2015. Two independent reviewers abstracted information in the following categories: data management software, coding approach, analytic approach, indicators of trustworthiness, and reflexivity. Of the 48 ( n = 48) articles identified, the majority ( n = 31) reported using qualitative software to manage data. Double-coding transcripts was the most common coding method ( n = 23); however, nearly one third of articles did not clearly describe the coding approach. Although the terminology used to describe the analytic process varied widely, we identified four overarching trajectories common to most articles ( n = 37). Trajectories differed in their use of inductive and deductive coding approaches, formal coding templates, and rounds or levels of coding. Trajectories culminated in the iterative review of coded data to identify emergent themes. Few articles explicitly discussed trustworthiness or reflexivity. Member checks ( n = 9), triangulation of methods ( n = 8), and peer debriefing ( n = 7) were the most common procedures. Variation in the type and depth of information provided poses challenges to assessing quality and enabling replication. Greater transparency and more intentional application of diverse analytic methods can advance the rigor and impact of qualitative research in our field.

Outcomes Based Education

 The move to an outcomes-based education and training system in South Africa presents higher education and training institutions with a challenge to review their curricula and to adapt to changes brought about by the new education and health care dispensations. Key aspects of the move to outcomes-based education and training as contained in the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) Act, information regarding the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and other matters informing curriculum review are addressed. The Department of Physiotherapy of the University of the Orange Free State has just completed the first phase of restructuring its education and training programme in order to submit the qualification for registration on the NQF. The rationale behind the shift to an outcomes-based, student-centred curriculum and the key features of the programme are briefly discussed, as this is the first step towards the registration of unit standards/qualifications, a process which all education and training institutions will have to embark upon soon.

Abstract: The creativity of learners in the learning process is mainly related to the management of education and training is needed and become the standard of competence that should be obtained. But at educational institutions most of the efforts to improve creativity is still not successful. During this effort to foster creativity of learners is based on efforts to motivate and consequently less than optimal. Through the method of assignment with the application of classroom action research and qualitative data analysis obtained the result that through the method of assignment to learners with the limits of assessment results then the creativity of learners in learning is increasing.

Context: International comparative research on Vocational Education and Training (VET) is gaining importance, as global cooperation and mutual learning in VET grows.  However, it is characterized by a high degree of complexity, due on one hand, to the heterogeneity of the VET sector, and on the other hand to the unique challenges of international comparisons.  In addition, comparative research projects are increasingly conducted in the form of cross-border collaborations, which have their own particular organizational and methodological considerations, opportunities, and challenges. This paper presents an example of a cooperative research process, aimed at investigating the complex phenomenon of the competence-based approach in Russian and Chinese VET. In providing an example of developing an instrument for curriculum analysis and comparison, we discuss and reflect on the methodological and organizational peculiarities and challenges of the research process conducted collaboratively by an international team.  Method: The instrument for analysis and comparison of curricular documents, was developed in an iterative multi-stage process, combining deductive and inductive steps. The embeddedness of the elements of a competence-based approach in curricular documents is investigated, using qualitative content analysis. To develop a coding frame, we started with a comprehensive partially systematic literature review of international, Russian and Chinese discourses on competence-based curricula. The frame was built on the selected model of competence-based education, and on accumulated results of the literature analysis of national discourses. Furthermore, during the first coding process, an iterative adaptation of the developed instrument took place. Results: The result of this process was the development of an analysis instrument which, on the one hand, is well-adapted to each national context and, on the other hand, allows a comparison of results along the same dimensions of analysis, in our case, elements of the competence-based approach in curriculum.  Conclusion: Developing an analysis framework for a cross-cultural comparative investigation of such a diffuse and heterogeneous construct as the competence-based approach, can pose a methodological challenge for an international team of researchers. However, an effective application of own team resources such as proficiency in different languages, insider and outsider perspectives, along with continuous intensive communication and a flexible, iterative research process, allows development of a well-adapted analysis instrument for international comparison.

AbstractIn 2010, the Religious Training Center (RTC) of Semarang implemented Distance Education and Training (DET) with the subjects of Mathematics for Islamic Junior High School (MTs) and Che­mistry for Islamic Senior High School (MA). DET was implemented to provide more education and training for officers of the Ministry of Religious Affairs amidst various limitations of costs, study space, transportation, and teachers’ obligation to conduct qualified and continuous teaching. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the DET by the RTC of Semarang. The methods and techniques used were interviews, document review, observation, and deployment of questionnaire, which mostly employed the qualitative analysis. The purpose of this study is to determine the context of the DET implementation, inputs, processes, and its products. The findings show that the DET in the RTC of Semarang has generally been carried out as planned, and needs to be continued, even propagated with a number of improvements, in terms of inputs, processes and products. AbstrakPada tahun 2010, Balai Diklat Keagamaan (BDK) Semarang melaksanakan Diklat Jarak Jauh (DJJ) dengan materi pelajaran Matematika untuk Madrasah Tsanawiyah dan Kimia untuk Madrasah Aliyah. DJJ dilaksanakan untuk dapat lebih banyak mendiklat pegawai Kemenag di tengah berbagai keterba­tasan biaya, ruang belajar, transportasi, dan kewajiban guru untuk mengajar secara berkualitas dan kontinyu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan evaluasi pelaksanaan DJJ pada BDK Semarang. Metode dan teknik yang digunakan adalah wawancara, telaah dokumen, pengamatan, dan penyebaran angket yang lebih dengan analisis secara kualitatif.
