Q-Methodology Special Interest Group
When: Thursday 29th April 2021
Where: MS Teams
Booking: Via Eventbrite
Q-methodology is a way of thinking about research that focuses on providing subjectivity to participants. The methodology investigates the complexity in different participant's positions on a given subject where differences of opinion are expected. Q-methodology involves participants sorting a set of statements onto a distribution grid, shaped as a reversed pyramid. Factor analysis is used to group participant's based on commonalities in their perspectives. The Education Observatory used Q-methodology in the evaluation of the Headstart programme.
