Topic: Data Collection
Well, I'm still waiting on some RAM, so I can pilot the last box ... the glass box ... but still waiting for IET to get me the RAM and also need more storage on my computer ... I lost the whole webcam video when I did the open-box as I didn't have enough space to render it ... oh well, still had the audio recordings and the video of the software ... but I'm thinking if I'm doing it on one screen now rather than two, if I have a problem with the rendering ... then I'm going to lose that whole set of data ... so, hopefully that doesn't happen! I think that'll make me go stark-raving mad.
Anyway, I've transcribed the relevant quotes (well what I thought I was relevant) for the black-box and open-box studies, but still have to analyse them in NVivo, I'm not certain what tact I'm going to be taking for them. I should have a theoretical framework (or at least some coding framework) but I have no idea ... I could start with open-coding and see where that takes me for developing a coding framework. I wanted to code somewhere along the line of cognitive load, self-explanations and perhaps some kind of interaction with technology? I think the important thing to ask myself, is what I'm looking for ... and I think one of the basis for my studies has been to see whether these boxes help learn more ... so think I'll be looking at self-explanations, but think I need to define what kind of self-explanations they're doing.
