This week, we considered the fact that although underlying rational structures are the same regardless of gender or culture, there may be strong age, gender, or culture factors that affect how we employ reason and what we privilege in our reasoning process.
In your initial post, complete the following:
Give an example of how age, gender, or culture might affect work place problem solving focusing on potentially different forms of reasoning. You can create an example, give a personal experience, or find a credible example in the media.
Explain how the skills you have gained in this course could help you solve this problem and display your competence in different forms of reasoning.
Devised by part of a group created by four researchers, 5 questions were prepared to find out what the main concern was to adult learners who were returning to higher education. All questions were operationalised in the making of the interviews being conducted in the same manner. Moreover, making them internally consistent and valid for ease of direct comparison of the achieved results.
While all methods were available, interviews were chosen for use as they are the most effective for opinions to be given, helping create in depth qualitative data being gathered and supported.
When gathering information for a study, researchers frequently use questionnaires on the grounds that they are more financially variable, time-productive and simple to assess objectively. Disregarding these advantages, questionnaires have numerous insufficiencies.
In addition, participants generally complete questionnaires without assistance from the researcher, making it difficult to know whether the participant understands the questions being asked, social desirability may occur here, giving false responses. When carrying out the interview however, the participant can ask for clarification if they don’t understand a question.
All things considered, researchers regularly use interviews over questionnaires, as close interactive meetings can give more detailed data about the participants answers, allowing researchers to collect non-verbal data.
