Research Debrief

A debrief is a discussion after the completion of a mission or activity, in this case, your data collection. The goal is to reflect on the process and what can be improved for next time.

STEPS

1. Make sure your data collection is finished.

· Your interviews (or most of them) should be completed.

· Your survey responses (or most of them) should be collected.

· Your texts for text analysis should be gathered and ready to analyze.

2. Look at your data or texts to get an initial overview of the results. I just want you to have a general idea of the kinds of data you collected. You don’t have to analyze everything at this point.

3. Answer the questions on the pages below. As for your Project 2 Idea Proposal, answer ONLY the questions that apply to your research methods and DELETE the other sections.

INTERVIEW

1. In 3-4 sentences, give me an overview of what you did. What was this process like for you?

2. What was the most challenging part of collecting your data? Why?

3. What was the easiest part of collecting your data? Why?

4. Use the table below to list the details of your interview(s):

Interviewee Make a fake name for them and list their role or relationship with you	Format of Interview Email, face-to-face, Zoom, etc.	Length of Interview This number doesn’t have to be precise, just an estimate	Most Helpful Aspect of This Interview What useful information did you get? What mistakes did you make and learn from for future interviews?

5. It’s important to transcribe your interviews so you have a text to easily analyze. Transcribe a 5-minute excerpt from one of your interviews and include it here. You should make a fake name for your participant to protect their identity. Ideas for transcription software can be found on the tips page of the Project 2 prompt .

6. After an initial overview of your data, where do you feel you need more information? How do you plan to get this additional data (follow-up interview, etc.)?

7. After seeing the data you collected, what will you focus on in your analysis? What patterns did you notice in the responses of your participant(s)? (You don’t need to have completed your analysis. The goal here is to start thinking about it!)

8. If you had to do this research project again, what would you do differently?

SURVEY

1. In 3-4 sentences, give me an overview of what you did. What was this process like for you?

2. What was the most challenging part of collecting your data? Why?

3. What was the easiest part of collecting your data? Why?

4. How many participants responded to your survey and who are they (age, nationality, gender, etc.)?

5. Which of your survey questions got the most helpful or surprising results? Why do you think that is?

6. Which of your survey questions did you discover weren’t very useful after all? Why do you think that is?

7. I’m excited to see what data you collected! Open your survey results in a spreadsheet (you can easily do this through Google or Microsoft forms after clicking on Results). Provide a screenshot of some of your survey results (you don’t have to include every single answer for every single question… that’s too much!).

8. After an initial overview of your data, where do you feel you need more information? How do you plan to get this additional data (follow-up interview, etc.)?

9. After seeing the data you collected, what will you focus on in your analysis? What patterns did you notice in the responses of your participant(s)? How will you connect the answers to different questions? (You don’t need to have completed your analysis. The goal here is to start thinking about it!)

TEXT ANALYSIS

1. In 3-4 sentences, give me an overview of what you did. What was this process like for you?

2. What was the most challenging part of collecting your texts? Why?

3. What was the easiest part of collecting your texts? Why?

4. Use the table below to list the details of your texts:

Text What kind of text is this? What is its name?	Source of Text Where did this text come from? Which newspaper, website, etc.?	Length of Text This number of words doesn’t have to be precise, just an estimate	Why This Text Why did you choose this text? How do you think it will help your analysis?

5. It will help me to see the texts you’re analyzing. Either provide links to them in the chart above or provide screenshots below.

6. After an initial look at your texts, do you feel you have enough data to analyze? If not, how/where will you get more texts to analyze?

7. After seeing the texts, what will you focus on in your analysis? What general patterns do you notice in the texts? (You don’t need to have completed your analysis. The goal here is to start thinking about it!)

8. Before you analyze your texts, you need to create a framework so you know what to look for. What features of the text are you going to look for or count? First-person pronouns, passive voice, connotations of words, number of words dedicated to a certain topic, etc.? Refer to this doc for more examples. Why these features?

Feature to Analyze	Why This Feature?

9. How are you going to analyze your texts? Print them and highlight by hand? Make annotations in a pdf editor? Take excerpts and put into a spreadsheet?
