The object of this study is sociodrama as a training method in the Social Education degree. Using a qualitative research methodology, the aim was to understand how this method contributed, over two academic years, to promoting the personal, social, and professional development of students.

Zimbabwe has a rich railway heritage that includes rail engines, wagons, coaches, trolleys, ticket rooms, rail stations, and tracks. The National Railway Museum of Zimbabwe (NRMZ) has a long history in providing railway transport and have contributed to the social, economic, and political lives of Zimbabweans. The NRMZ is the only institution that collects, preserve, and display railway heritage. This study investigates the effectiveness of the NRMZ in conserving railway heritage. This study employed qualitative research methodology. It is revealed that railway collections are deteriorating at unprecedented levels. The major agents of deterioration include relative humidity, temperature, pollution, pests and rodents as well as human factors. The study concludes that the NRMZ is employing ineffective conservation strategies and the museum is likely to lose more collections if they do not prioritize preventive conservation, develop collections, and disaster management policies.

The Subject

This paper re-visits the problem of how we re-conceptualize human subjects within poststructuralist research. The turn to poststructuralist theory to inform research in the social sciences is complicated by the difficulty in thinking through what it means to put the subject under erasure. Drawing on a study in a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool in Sweden, and a study of neoliberalism's impact on academic work, this paper opens up thought about poststructuralism's subject. It argues that agency is the province of that subject.

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap kinerja hakim konstitusi berdasarkan putusan yang saling bertentangan tersebut. Digunakan pendekatan yuridis sosiologis. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriftif-kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara dan observasi serta studi pustaka. Untuk memeriksa objektifitas dan keabsahan data dilakukan dengan teknik triangulasi data. Hasil penelitian menemukan kepercayaan masyarakat masih tinggi terhadap kinerja hakim konstitusi. Namun, putusan bertentangan yang dikeluarkan oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi menimbulkan kekacauan konstitusional. Akan tetapi tidak ada aturan yang melarang Mahkamah Konstitusi untuk membuat putusan yang bertentangan. Dalam meningkatkan kepercayaan masyarakat Mahkamah Konstitusi harus menjaga transparansinya, meningkatkan kualitas putusan dan integritas hakim. Persepsi atau tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat dapat menjadi faktor pendorong untuk menghilangkan eksistensi sebagai hakim konstitusi bila masyarakat menemukan hakim konstitusi melanggar kode etik dan melakukan tindakan melawan hukum.<br /><br /><em>This research addressess to analyze social trust towards constitutional court judge performance based on contrary constitutional court verdict. This research applies descriptive- qualitative research methodology with socio-legal approach. Observation, interview and documentation methods use to collect data or information. This research found that constitutional court still procure the social trust. However, contrary verdict which issued by constitutional court made a disorder constitution. But there is no regulation to ban the constitutional court issued contrary verdict. To increase the social trust, constitutional court should be transparent, increase the verdict quality and keep the judge integrity well. Perception or social trust can be a stimulation to nullified judges existence if they found that constitutional court judges break the law and disobeyed constitutional judges code of conduct.</em>

This paper explores the possibility of expanding the focus group interview into the field of English as a Second Language (ESL), where this research methodology is yet to be thoroughly explored. Specifically, it aims to challenge popular criticisms about the reliability and validity of the focus group as a qualitative research methodology. It does this by first setting up a list of five main criticisms of the focus group interview drawn from current literature on research methodology within the social sciences and education. Based on transcripts of interactional data gathered from focus group interviews carried out among ESL students in a formal ESL context, it then provides a direct and detailed response to each criticism. The arguments put forward demonstrate that the focus group interview, as a method of data collection, may be particularly relevant in gathering the viewpoints and opinions of participants who have traditionally not been well represented through the more conventional and common methods currently employed in ESL research studies. Furthermore, the paper raises conscious awareness about the potential of the focus group as a viable and verifiable tool in qualitative research methodology.

Qualitative Research Methodology

This study examines the processes and results of implementing formative and co-assessment with a group of 14 Spanish students in the second cycle of pre-school education (5-6 years of age). The aim is to determine the degree of effectiveness of the project. The teaching methodology used in the experience is predominantly experiential, engaging a wide range of the students’ senses and based on their interests and motivations. A qualitative research methodology is used including; teacher’s journal, photos, video recordings and observation sheets. The analysis is conducted through an emerging process of categorization. The results show that formative and co-assessment increase student motivation, autonomy, commitment to the task and self-improvement. They also encourage the teacher’s professional development by providing a processes of reflection and improvement on their own practice. In conclusion, we maintain that it is viable to develop formative and co-assessment processes in early childhood education and that they have a positive influence on the learning and autonomy of students, as well improving the climate in the classroom, provided that the assessment system implemented is consistent with the rest of didactic methodology.

In order to qualify our research, I think quantitative studies are not enough. A s a matter of fact, we need more qualitative studies especially if we are dealing with human traits and the social sciences’ studies as the numbers would not suffice. In doing so, there is a need for resear4chers to acquire a full understanding of qualitative research methodology, data collection procedures and the risks and issues related to them. For the beginners to enter in to the ocean of qualitative research areas, it seems necessary to have good sourcebooks to get a general view of this type of research and then deeply dive in the ocean of qualitative studies which needs lots of endeavor. In Essentials of Qualitative Inquiry, Maria J. Mayan (2009) provides a handy ladder for these beginning qualitative researchers to gain an introductory perspective.

Critical Overview

The Research in social science has a vital impact on the historical background of different event. These events are to be studied under the umbrella of qualitative research methodology. This methodology is based on the critical overview of any event or set of events related to a certain problem statement. To evaluate the authenticity of such research which is conducted on the bases of oral history, it is necessary to define a certain tool which is in hierarchy order and if qualitative research is to be conducted should be gone through using the certain tool. In this paper such a quality model is generated from various aspect of computational quality model which can be helpful for the social scientist to see the authenticity of the references and methodology used during the research of oral history.
