The Project : “DOODLE” D eveloping O nline O pen D istance L earning E -models for vocational skills education

DOODLE: Participants The ODL Providers: Leeds Huddersfield Dublin Romania Greece Finland The Learners: Print Construction Print Networking Software Business

Project Aims Using Q-methodology to reveal the attitudes of various stakeholders towards e-Learning Using revealed attitudes to review the design and evaluation of ODL provision NB: Work in Progress! Final report to project sponsors due September 2004.

What is Q-methodology? a foundation for the systematic study of subjectivity (Steven Brown, 1991) a set of philosophical, psychological, statistical, and psychometric ideas oriented to research on the individual (Fred Kerlinger, 1986) Identifies the different stories that can be told about a topic (Rex Stainton Rogers, et al., 1996)

…a structured approach to the study of subjectivity, using the Q sorting technique……making internal beliefs observable…. What is Q-methodology?

Q-methodology ~ origins William Stephenson ( ) William Stephenson, psychologist and physicist…. Stephenson, W. (1935). Correlating persons instead of tests, Character and Personality 4, Stephenson, W. (1953). The Study of Behavior: Q-technique and Its Methodology

Q-methodology ~ stages 1.Identifying and sampling the ‘concourse’ 2.Selecting participants 3.Q sorting 4.Factor analysis 5.Factor interpretation

1. Identifying and sampling the concourse Sampling aims * Points of view not knowledge * Represent the concourse Identifying the concourse *What is written and said about the topic? *Diversity of sources Q set

1(cntd). Sampling the flow of communicability around the topic categories statements items ODL item examples: E-training is not suitable for all learners. E-training threatens the existence of traditional training providers.

2. Selecting Participants *Participants are the variables *Selected for diversity of views…..including directors, curriculum leaders, web developers, online tutors, and e-learners embarking on ODL programmes provided by the DOODLE partner organisations

2 (cntd). 125 participants DOODLE Leeds Huddersfield Dublin Romania Greece Finland staffstudents

3. Q-sorting: a sorter in action

3 (cntd). A Q-sorting matrix Strongly Disagree Agree

4. Factor Analysis * Enter the data using Q dedicated software * Extract the initial factors * Select and rotate the factors to calculate distinct ‘voices’ among the participants

5. Factor Interpretation Interpret the factors using: *Factor arrays (most agree/most disagree & neutral) *The consensus items and distinguishing items (similarities and differences between factors) * The sorters’ comments NB: ANALYSIS OF PROJECT DATA IS ONGOING (Final Report to sponsors due September 2004) - SEE VISUALISER FOR INITIAL DATA / FACTORS
