MindMap Gallery Quantitative Approach
This clear quantitative methods mind map elaborately details the advantages and disadvantages of this approach. The advantages section discusses the precision, reproducibility, and objectivity of quantitative analysis, while the disadvantages point out potential limitations, such as difficulties in data collection and the risk of oversimplifying complex phenomena.
Edited at 2021-06-04 21:00:08Discourse Analysis is an interdisciplinary approach to studying language use and communication. It focuses on the practical application of language in daily life, exploring the interactive relationship between language, context, and socio-cultural factors. Discourse analysis reveals the social, cultural, and psychological processes hidden behind language by delving into the structure, function, and meaning of discourse. Researchers in this field typically focus on the generation, dissemination, and understanding of discourse, exploring how language constructs and shapes social reality. Discourse analysis has been applied in multiple disciplines such as linguistics, sociology, psychology, and communication studies, and is of great significance for understanding human social interaction, media communication, and cross-cultural communication. Through discourse analysis, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and diversity of language, as well as the role of language in social and cultural contexts. This is a mind map about what Discovery Analysis is. The map contains 11 main branches, namely: A brief historical overview, Form and function, Speech acts and course structures, The scope of course analysis, Spoken course models of analysis, Conversations outside the classroom, Talk as a social activity, Written course, Text and interpretation, Larger patterns in text, Conclusion. Each main branch has a detailed description of multi-level sub branches. Suitable for people interested in course analysis.

Pedagogy - Basic Concepts and Curricular Theory
Epistemological foundations
features
Collect and analyze information
Seeks to test a hypothesis
The questions can be qualitative or quantitative.
Being quantitative, the results are based on sample sizes.
Generally, a study can be replicated or simulated
The world is a reality that can be determined empirically
Any phenomenon has a cause or an effect.
Qualitative research, by contrast, believes that reality is not objective.
Different epistemologies
Post-positivists
Knowledge is based on indisputable bases
Research can´t be safe
Experiential realism
states that it can´t be seen only objectively because perception influences
Active rather than passive interaction
Pragmatism
Mixed approach between quantitative and qualitative methods
The result of an idea is a function of the practical results.
it's not
it is not qualitative research
is based on qualities not numbers
accepts different epistemologies
social reality is not objective
Epistemologies of theory and practice.
Positivism
is based on natural phenomena, properties andrelations.
It is interpreted by reason and logic.
Knowledge through sensory experience
Subjectivism
Our mental activity is the only unquestionable part of the experience.
Researchers do not consider themselves completely positivists or subjectivists
Researchers concerned with procedures
Researchers of the philosophical vision
Pos positivism
There is a reality independent of what we think
The observation is imperfect, therefore there is inaccuracy.
The goal of science is to obtain information about reality.
measurements and observations on the subject of study.
Precious understanding of theories and concepts.
Interpretivism
Bring human interest to the studio.
Criticize positivism
Group different approaches
See the differences that characterize people
Criticalism
Change social conditions
It does not predict or explain reality
Its origins are in sociology and literature.
Postmodernism:
Science is not objective
Reality changes because reality is changing
People's subjective responses are important
The scientific method can´t be used to describe reality.
Qualitative and quantitative methods can be mixed
What is it
From the Greek episteme meaning knowledge.
The way that we come to know
A research job consists of using different methods to investigate.
Collect quantifiable data and use statistical techniques.
Quantitative Approach
Advantages
FEATURES
The use of data has advantages because the information can be verified
It is not based only on research, it also seeks to interpret
It allows you to optimize time and effort
It allows to measure how many and what situations occur in the sample.
It is practical and useful because:
Collect data:
The results will be reliable
The numbers make it fair
Wide range of analysis:
Allows extensive data collection
Eliminate biases:
The results are verifiable
No own interpretations are given
Quick collection:
It is obtained from a representative group
Reduce wasted resources
when it's used:
find answers through numbers
used at the beginning of the process
when looking to test a hypothesis
Used when there is a control group
Disadvantages
Examples
The number can be restrictive
It does not give enough explanations about the reasons for the effect.
Does not describe reality
It does not describe how people interpret your behaviors.
Does not take into account inconsistent features
It can be difficult to draw final conclusions.
If a method is not well developed it can influence the hypothesis.
limitations
human phenomena are hard to understand
you can only study the obserable
influences can affect people
there may be different interpretations
