Key words of different forms of research that could be beneficial to me and my project.
Action Research
begins with a problem and aims to take action to improve the situation
1) i wish to develop the way sex education is taught
2) to gain concrete knowledge/information/experiences from young people to create a piece of theatre.
3)to develop Chicken Sheds outreach projects and to discover a new area of workshops.
Our "problem" is going to be discovered through the use of questionnaires and surveys. Possibly group discussions and workshops concerning sex education. talking to people who are happy enough to talk about sex education and the way its taught or their own personal experiences, what could be improved etc.
Ethnography
Is when the researcher becomes a participant observer of the group being
studied
1) Create workshops and record the theatrical devices used.
2) Being an active observer delivering the workshop should mean being willing to participate when necessary. This may be to create an energetic atmosphere, or more support may be needed if there is a large number of people participating in the workshop.
Questionnaires
A key aspect of getting information together and having data in one place where it can be gathered and categorized accordingly using open/closed questions.
1) questionnaires are an easy way for people to express themselves openly and confidentially. They can write as little or as much as they wish without feeling pressurized.
It is important as i am dealing with what can be seen as a "touchy subject" that questionaires are anonymous for the protection of participants.
