3 Learning Outcomes By the end of this session you will be able to
Discuss the application of qualitative methods within sports performance analysis List relative strengths and weaknesses of quantitative and qualitative methods within sports performance analysis

4 Task that has already been assessed
Consider the nature of qualitative research in general (weeks 9-11), read a selected paper from the International Journal of Sports Performance Analysis that uses qualitative methods. Identify two ways in which qualitative methods have a role in sports performance analysis. This task is worth 5% of the module 5 marks Just flash this up – it is what we marked for this week

5 Recap from Week 8 Today QUANTITATIVE QUALITATIVE TOTALLY OBJECTIVE
INDIRECTLY OBJECTIVE LARGELY OBJECTIVE SUBJECTIVE Today we are focussing on qualitative methods No human involvement in data collection No researcher involvement in data collection Researcher uses guidelines for data collection Today Eg researcher deciding on behaviours performed Eg recording umpire decisions Eg Prozone or Hawkeye

6 The papers you have read
For one minute consider qualitative methods you have covered in research process Discuss these with the person beside you in pairs

7 Discussion Task How can qualitative methods be used to help understand your sport 5 marks Ask each student what there sport is and to give an example of how qualitative data or methods can help. Assess contribution.

8 Feedback Qualitative observation
Live Video Analysis of still frames (annotated or not) Interviewing / self report The inner athlete Explanations for observed behaviour Understanding unseen mental processes The lecturer quickly sums up some good examples from the students then also the work of Lafont on analysis still photographs and the work of Poizat et al on Self-confrontational interviews conducted while watching videos of performances

9 Strengths and weaknesses of quantitative and qualitative research
Spend 5 minutes writing down 2 relative strengths and weaknesses of quantitative methods and qualitative methods Hand in what you have written to the lecturer At the end of the 5 minutes, these will be discussed This second task will be marked after the class is over and will not just be on what the students wrote but also on their contribution to the discussion.
