2. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS:
“Heart of qualitative research is the desire to expose the human part of
the story.” (Jacob, Stacy)
Qualitative and quantitative can be used together
Deals with descriptions
Data be observed but not measured
3. WHAT IS ORAL HISTORY?
• Also defined as spoken history
• Core KIN classes
• Used for research or retrieving information
4. WHAT TO AVOID?
Biased
Questions that assume
Double-barreled questions
Double negative
Confusing questions
Unrelated questions
Too long
Interruptions and noise
**Close ended questions**
5. CONSTRUCTING HISTORY FORMS:
Picking a topic
Questions supported by research?
Use of scripts (consent, what you are studying and why)
Open ended (“Tell me about…”)
Start with basics
Be ready for adding or revising questions
IRB
7. ANALYZE:
Qualitative analysis is different than quantitative since we have open
ended responses.
No right or wrong answer
Analyze the themes present
Did your topic choice change?
8. OUR INTERVIEW:
What we were looking for – Physical Activity
Relationship to KIN core classes
Why and how of decision making not just what, where and when
Grounded theory
Small sample size
Question: How are previous activities limiting range of motion or
participation in physical activity?
12. ISSUES:
Qualitative
Generating open ended questions
Interviewing a specific audience
Through professional guidance we were told this project was
difficult because it was too broad

What is oral history? Oral history is also known as spoken history. A majority of us have done oral history in Dr. Liberti’s course History of Sport. What core classes can we relate this to aside from history of sport? Philosophy and sociology. The main use of oral history is retrieving information for research or experiments.

What types of questions were mentioned to avoid for surveys? Double negative, lengthy questions, double barreled, and biased. We also want to avoid unrelated questions, questions that assume, closed-ended questions, and interruptions.

When constructing the interview form there are many things to consider. First we need to pick a topic and then search if the topic is supported by research. A script is useful to use when starting and ending the interview. It works as a guideline, so if you get lost during the interview it is helpful to get you back on track. Be ready for the unexpected, at times you will encounter situations where you may need to add more questions or revise it if it is not clear to the interviewee. Get it reviewed by the IRB if used for research.

When conducting the interview it is crucial for the participant to sign a consent form verifying that their responses can be used in research. Record all the interviews, there may be something important that you may miss will taking notes. Keep the interview focused, sometimes the interviewee may get sidetracked and get off topic so try bringing it back to the main topics. Show interest in the interview, if you look bored then the interviewee will not want expand on their stories. Use the script to help you if you get sidetracked or are missing anything.
We are looking for the reason why this person participates in physical activity
Used more in social sciences
Sociology, Philosophy – field we would use interview for, History of Sport talking about activity in the past to now
In noah’s case, he had enough injuries to know what he should and should not participate in. Learning specifically about injuries can help the pQCT team evaluate their subjects.
What does it mean to you to be healthy?
Can you describe your physical level of activity in the past?
