“…There is increased focus on how quality can be ensured when working with qualitative sets of data (Tracy, 2010), mainly by implementing rigour and transparency of the approach used (Flick, 2007). All interviews, focus groups and case study visits were tape recorded with the participants" consent, translated into English when necessary, transcribed and analysed using a grid analysis approach and thematic coding (Boyatzis, 1988).…”

“…These categories were inductively derived from focused interviews in a study conducted prior to this one, in which one interviewer conducted nine in-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews (cf. Flick 2007), which comprised four open-ended questions regarding (1) things that add to and (2) diminish overall quality of life, (3) how participants would define in their own terms ''quality of life, '' and (4) what was the most important thing in their life. Two coders were trained and achieved very good inter-coder reliability in sample texts prior to Study 1 (determined as coefficient M = .95; cf.…”

Individualized measurement of quality of life in older adults: development and pilot testing of a new tool

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We describe theoretical background, development, and piloting of a measure for quality of life in older adults that specifically takes into account the subjective perspective. Although quality of life is usually subjectively assessed, normative thresholds for ''the good life'' are most often set by a third party. The new tool FLQM asks for respondents to name, rate, and weight those domains in life that are most important for their life-satisfaction solely from their own point of view. Construct validity was pilottested in two samples of elders (N 1 = 44; N 2 = 90). Correlations were in the medium range in both studies and support the questionnaire's validity. There were no age or gender differences on total score. However, in Study 1 as well as in Study 2 older subjects named significantly fewer domains than did younger participants. Further, in Study 1 the overall number of distinct domains generated by the participants diminished with age-the ''interindividual pool of domains'' shrank. Implications of this age-associated narrowing of domainscope are discussed on a background of adaptation theories. Concluding, the new questionnaire seems apt to assess older peoples' quality of life even in a physically very ill population, but needs further testing, especially regarding its reliability. This is currently being undertaken in a larger longitudinal sample to assure psychometric properties.

“…In the fourth and final stage each participant wrote an individual, reflective summary statement of the findings collated throughout the process. This final stage of the research process utilised a form of discourse analysis (Flick 2007) where the findings of the final summaries were analysed by each researcher separately whilst triangulating with earlier data to allow for the different researcher perspectives and assist with respondent validation (Gibbs 2007). These results were then brought together by all three researchers, analysed for presentation in this paper with discussion illustrated with example quotes from the written (initial and final) reflections.…”

This study explores the factors that influenced the transition made by three participants from primary class teacher (or first-order practitioner) to Teacher Education (TE) lecturer (or second-order practitioner) in a Scottish Teacher Education Institution (TEI). The selfstudy case study methodology explored the factors that encouraged, and potentially inhibited, this career change. Data collection utilised auto-ethnographic narrative and findings were reviewed using a thematic analysis. Results are considered using a theoretical framework provided by Deci and Ryan's Self-Determination Theory (SDT).The study identified three common, key themes leading to the participants career change: exploration and reinvention, key figures and lifelong learners. The findings suggest the participants were largely intrinsically motivated to make the career change. The results provide an insight for teachers considering this move and administrators within teacher education. The personal development implications for the participants are also considered. KeywordsTeacher Educators; Reflective Practice; Motivation; Early Career Lecturer; Scotland IntroductionA career in primary teaching is often viewed as an attractive career option however data relating to teacher attrition has suggested that 30-50% of teachers leave the profession within the first 3 to 5 years (Cooper and Alvardo 2006). Although most of these teachers will change career completely some may make the move to become a teacher educator within a HEI. Recent experience, gathered via conversations with staff directly involved with Higher Education Institution (HEI) recruitment, has suggested that recruitment to teacher educator posts can sometimes be problematic and that experienced teachers are reluctant to make the move to become teacher educators although the reasons are not immediately obvious. the reasons for making the change from primary teacher to higher education and identifies issues relating to career progression and leadership. Despite these examples, research into teacher education has been described as a relatively 'young sub-field of education research' (Menter et al. 2010, 135) and more specifically there is a lack of literature focussing on why teachers may make the transition from school teacher to university lecturer. This case study also contributes to the international discussion considering the development of teacher education in terms of efficacy and professional development. Specifically it explores the influencing factors that led to three people making the transition from primary class teacher to becoming a TE lecturer in a Scottish TEI. In doing so this paper raises issues relating to wider national and international teacher education policy and implications for career progression or pathways between school teaching and TE.Although there are many similar issues and challenges within the international teacher education landscape these national systems can differ considerably. Within the UK the situation has been described as divergent (Oancea a...
