CODING TO ANALYZE DATA ULMERT DMFT 7111-9 4 Journal entries and codes As the course in qualitative research progress there seems to be a trend that is emerging, for this student, the importance of keeping a journal of the qualitative process. One of the things that I do not enjoy doing or should I say don’t appreciate is journaling. So that posed a question for me, in the spirit of William Shakespeare: To journal or not to journal that is the question: Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to express your thoughts on paper for self and others, or to take arms against the memory of your mind. To answer this question I had to ponder the big question of why am I not a fan of journaling. I thought perhaps maybe I don’t have a understanding of the importance of journaling, particularly in research. Purcell (2018) offered some valuable insight to me. He indicates that not only is it a record about everything I am thinking about and have an opportunity to write it down and not has to include it in my literature review and not worry about grammar, whether or not my ideas are correct or valid. Quite simply it is a place for reflection, and can enhance brainstorming for future ideas. Purcell (2018) also describes three main benefits for journal writing: 1. It keeps the researcher writing. This can be a huge benefit for me as I struggle with writing and being clear, concise, and having a flow of information, 2. Writing a journal can help clarify ideas in your head. 3. It can help in writing the research as it is a record of all the reasons, justifications, and decisions that were made during the research process. Along with some of that information can be used in the research document particularly in the introduction and methodology sections. I also imagine that the process of journaling can also be a motivator as it can show me how I am progressing, and allow me to vent y frustrations and concerns of the research process in order to maintain my sanity. So let begin the process by journaling my thoughts of the last three weeks. Week one During this week I was required to write an annotation of some required reading, I chose an article initially based off of the title, particularly the word of “experience of novice qualitative

CODING TO ANALYZE DATA ULMERT DMFT 7111-9 5 researchers.” I thought to myself it would be interesting to see what others went through and what helpful hints might they have and if researchers are in fact an instrument in the interviewing process. This was key as I had not thought of myself as an instrument in the interview or research process. Doing the annotation also reminded me of the importance of keeping detailed records as the further I get into the research process the more articles will be reviewed, and having the ability to review the material in a timely manner is crucial. I did however get confused that at the feedback. As I did not include a reference page because the reference was given prior to the summary and I thought it was not required, Follow up on that will be needed for future assignments. Week 2 During this week I was asked to do a field observation. I found this to be a very interesting and engaging assignment. It allowed me to practice an aspect of qualitative research, but more importantly it challenged my internal drive to engage with individuals, particularly when I felt that engaging could have mitigated potential harm or conflict with a particular family. As I thought about it further I wondered if there was an ethical obligation to do something. After a few days the family was still deep in my thoughts, so I processed this with a peer and explored the purpose and possible future steps I could take. We agreed that more information was needed and the best thing to do was to continue to build rapport with the service member and his wife in order to build trust. The rationale for this was to gather all the needed information so appropriate referrals or steps can be taken. I also had to resist the urge to talk to the families that I observed because I wanted to inform them what I was doing, why, and get permission to use them as examples, along with providing them with information of what I observed. I take comfort in knowing that when I do begin my research I will be able to offer full disclosure and get consent at the onset. Week Three
