With regards to massage therapy, researching involves a variety of different things. We are always finding out new things, investigating techniques and ideas and looking into and understanding theories.
We begin research with an idea. We begin with brainstorming to try and establish a question that corresponds with the idea. We have to see if anybody else has come up with the same question and see what they have said about it. This is called a literature review and/or theoretical framework. We must always be searching for the truth. The next step that goes with the researching process is methodology, here we are trying to seek how we are going to collect information and/or data on the theory at hand and see if the information we are going to find is valid and relevant. They (methods) are used for collecting info on your question. Some of these methods are; interviews, group discussions and perhaps questionnaires and from there it is about building interpretations. We have to make sure that when we are conducting investigations and searches that we are doing it in an ethically correct manner.
Next I am going to talk about implications of research. It is important to keep the information valid and interpreted in its original state.
By having structure to attain information at any level, ethically, research is a very powerful technique in which is very valuable to anyone including massage therapists.

HI Hannah
ReplyDeleteHmm - an almost frustrating ending to a good blog. You have got a clear understaning of the research process and I was really interested in what you might have to say about research in relation to massage therpay. So my overall comment about your work seen so far - is that there is a good mind ticking along - just getting the stuff down on paper - the first stuff - s ot that you can really access your mind at work. keep going. See other comments inserted throughout your blog!

The research Process
(Can you write the assessment title as well – Assessment 1, Blog Task 2
Your name
Due date
The reason I am asking you all to do this is I am trying to develop a good way of marking – which includes grammar/ sp. And so on – I am only interested in accuracy in these areas because I think it helps you clarify and define your thinking – which is a useful skill when figuring our research processes and its concepts. I cut and paste your blog on to a word doc. to mark..
I would also suggest you develop your blog as a word doc and cut and paste it over – much better start in terms of sp. Etc.

NP.
The next step that goes with the researching process is methodology. Here we are trying to seek (out) how we are going to collect information and/or data on the theory at hand and see if the information we are going to find is valid and relevant. They (methods) - (Methods are pre selected and) are used for collecting info (no abbreviations in your work pl.) on your question. Some of these methods are; interviews, group discussions and perhaps questionnaires and from there it is about (analysing data and) building interpretations (conclusions and implications). We have to make sure that when we are conducting investigations and searches, that we are doing it (them – plural!) in an ethically correct manner.

(Woah – a really nice start to what could have been an interesting few next paragraphs – what did you have to say about massage and research?)
Also - references a bit lacking in this blog????
ReplyDeleteCan you find two relevant and situate them in your blog?
