This paper explores some of the issues that arise when one is dealing with data that has been produced by the researcher about their own experience. In particular, we are interested in exploring the ways that researchers can go about analyzing autobiographical data. Many researchers produce data that is autobiographical. Ethnographers produce field notes. Action Researchers often write about their own practice. Phenomenologists, sociologists and historians may write narratives that are autobiographical. There is a growing trend for researchers working in a range of settings to view themselves simultaneously being both a subject (or the subject) and a researcher. Data analysis techniques that work well when dealing with data about other people may not be as useful when one is working with one's own data. We will suggest a number of strategies that a researcher can employ to analyze such data including collaborative analysis, forms of grounded theory and alternative forms of representation such as poetry, art and drama. We will also discuss the use of frameworks such as particular psychodynamic theories, feminist theories and critical theories as ways of gaining additional insight from the analysis of the researcher's biographical writings.

This research was intended to know the extent of contextual approaches (Contextual Teaching and Learning) able to overcome practical problems in compliance with the students’ ability to construct a concept/meaning from what they learned. The scope of this inquiry included the implementation of contextual approaches to the subject of Introduction to Economic Science in Economic Cooperative Education Study Program of Business Education Department of Faculty of Social Science of Yogyakarta State University. This was a participatory action research. The action research was implemented in the academic years of 2003/2004 for the subject of Introduction to Economic Science. This research was conducted in several steps as follows: Planning, Action Implementation, Control and Evaluation, and Analysis and Reflection. The results show that: (1) in the first cycles, the ways of answering questions, answers the students present are not qualified, the frequency of expressing opinions tends to be minimum, and the interaction among students are low. Due to lack of time in accordance with the grouping and student classification spending too much time, 2 CTL methods can be used to improve: the students’ participation in discussing the results of the discussion conducted, the students’ way in revealing describing oral description review, the students’ capability in constructing concept/meaning. In applying CTL, it is found some weaknesses as follows: the frequent use of CTL method makes the students saturated, the use of CTL method requires more cost, it is good for creating media or doing observation, for the students with high level of learning motivation it is exciting for they regard that they have chance to deliver more opinions, and those with low level of learning motivation it makes them passive and talking to themselves (not interested).
