Common questions

Powered by AI

Ivy May F. Pamollino ensures the credibility and reliability of the research instrument by seeking evaluation and validation from experts in the field. The validation process is detailed in letters sent to evaluators requesting their permission to review the instrument. The feedback and suggestions from the evaluators, such as Jeannet E. Canda, Francisco Espinosa, and Salome Rocacurva—who hold advanced degrees like EdD and PhD—are integral to refining the instrument and establishing its validity for her study on student mothers .

The expected roles of the student mothers participating in the study, as outlined in the informed consent agreement, include actively participating in interviews, allowing their responses to be recorded (with their consent), and reviewing their answers for accuracy at the end of the session to ensure data reliability. Participants are also encouraged to ask questions if they need clarification and are expected to provide honest responses to the questions posed to them .

The interview questions are structured as open-ended to elicit comprehensive narratives from the participants, using active verbs and integrating relevant nouns to embody coherence with the research paradigm. The questions are designed to be affirmative and focused, making them workable and researchable. They are sequenced logically, with opinion questions following information questions, ensuring the interview can be completed within a 60–90 minute session .

The measures in place to ensure participants' responses remain confidential and not used against them include anonymizing participant information such as their names in reports, using pseudonyms if preferred, and clearly stating in the informed consent form that data will only be used for research purposes. These steps guarantee that the identity of the participants is safeguarded throughout the research process and publication of results .

The study design incorporates participant rights and confidentiality measures by ensuring informed consent is obtained before participation, assuring participants that their identity will not be revealed in any reports, and clearly stating that participation is voluntary. Additionally, participants are informed about their right to ask questions and to withdraw from the study at any time. These measures protect the participants' privacy and uphold ethical research practices .

The concepts of voluntariness and autonomy are addressed by clearly informing participants that their involvement is voluntary and they may withdraw at any stage without needing to provide any reason. The informed consent form emphasizes that participants have the autonomy to decide how much information to share, ensuring that they are not obligated to disclose more than they are comfortable with .

The roles of various evaluators in the research validation process entail providing expert feedback on the research instrument. Each evaluator, who is a specialist and holds advanced qualifications (e.g., EdD, PhD, MLIS), assesses the ethical, artistic, and rigorous components of the interview guide. The feedback from evaluators like Jeannet E. Canda, Francisco Espinosa, and Salome Rocacurva includes ensuring the questions are open-ended, coherent, and aligned with the research paradigm, ultimately rating the instrument as 'Very Good,' 'Good,' or requiring 'Revalidation' depending on the number of affirmative checks .

The validation process contributes to the research’s methodological rigor by ensuring that the instrument used captures data effectively and ethically. Validators such as Jeannet E. Canda and Salome Rocacurva provide comprehensive feedback on elements like the coherence of the questions with the research paradigm, the logical sequencing of questions, and the implementation of open-ended probes. These assessments enhance the research tool’s credibility, ensuring that it meets academic standards for phenomenological inquiry .

To ensure the credibility of information obtained from participants, the research methodology suggests using open-ended questions to facilitate in-depth responses, employing a consistent interviewing script to maintain uniformity across interviews, and employing probes to delve deeper into responses. The structured sequence of questions ensures logical progression, with priority given to opinion questions following information questions to enrich the data collected .

The informed consent for the study 'Exploring the Lived Experiences of Student Mothers: A Phenomenological Inquiry' outlines several ethical considerations: participants volunteer to participate and can withdraw at any time without providing a reason; the confidentiality and anonymity of participant information will be maintained; data used will be strictly for research purposes and not used against participants; participants have the right to ask questions and have them answered to their satisfaction; participants consent to the audio recording of the research activities, with the guarantee that their identities will not be disclosed in any publications .
