Risk, Creativity & Ethics: Dimensions of innovation in qualitative social science research methods Melanie Nind, Rose Wiles, Andrew Bengry-Howell, Graham Crow University of Southampton

Structure The nature of methodological innovation Three case studies Methods Findings Conclusions

Context NCRM’s overall mission is to provide a strategic focal point for the identification, development and delivery of an integrated national research and training programme aimed at promoting a step change in the quality and range of methodological skills and techniques used by the UK social science community and providing support for, and dissemination of, methodological innovation and excellence within the UK.

Defining features Should be rooted in genuine attempt to improve some aspect of the research process (not just gimmickry or innovation for innovation sake) Driven by complex social relations Can comprise developments to established methods as well as new methods Should (arguably) be some level of dissemination, acceptance and take-up in the social science community (but process slow) (Travers, 2009; Coffey and Taylor, 2008; Xenitidou and Gilbert, 2012)

Drivers of innovation Value placed on innovation by research councils, funders, journal editors & reviewers, REF etc Emergence of complex new social situations, developments in disciplines, and resulting research questions Affordances of new technologies Filling methods gaps and respodonding to ethical concerns

The Cases Online/Virtual ethnography … Netnography Robert Kozinets Child-led research … Children as Researchers Mary Kellett Creative methods … Lego Serious Play David Gauntlett

Methods interviews with developer of the method/approach interviews with users, reviewers, commentators, appliers review of academic response to innovations

Thematic analysis Timeliness – why this, why now Distinctiveness Contribution to the substantive area, discipline or methods Process of breakthrough, acceptance and uptake Potential future

Findings Innovators motivated by perceived needs, shortcomings & ethical concerns Process involves publication, publicity, championing, fit with the time and mood Innovators take & manage risks There are dangers as well as virtues Reflexivity is essential

Conclusions Importance of the long view Need for us to innovate with caution and in response to genuine social or methodological need or opportunity Need for reflexivity But where is innovation in educational research?
