Za potrebe studije primijenjen je neprobabilistički metod uzorkova nja, čiji se kriterij zasniva na relevantnosti sagovornika_ca u odnosu na specifične ciljeve istraživanja (‘namjerni uzorak’). Političke partije su birane na osnovu različite (makar bila samo nominalna) ideološke provenijencije kao i etničkog predznaka.

Ova studija je vođena principima kvalitativne metodologije bazirane na važnosti razumijevanja (veberijansko Verstehen) društvenih pojava. Ovakav pristup je, kada je o pravima i slobodama LGBT osoba, više nego bitan imajući u vidu mali broj deklariranih pripadnika_ca LGBT zajednice zbog čega kvantitativni pristup okrenut istraživanjima stavova u masi i na većem uzorku ne bi omogućio uvid u slojevitost marginalizacije ove društvene grupe. Kako je fokus bio na LGBT zajednici u specifičnom kontekstu (sektor unutrašnjih poslova), smatralo se bitnim prikupiti i analizirati percepcije relevantnih društvenih aktera_ki čija (sa)znanja, osjećanja, angažman faktički oblikuju entitet koji se proučava. Jer, problem koji se istražuje nije tamo negdje (engl. out there), već je inherentno oblikovan stavovima i društvenim interakcijama onih koji ga konstruiraju. Poseban značaj ovog metodološkog pristupa jeste što izbjegava kartezijansku asimetriju između subjekta i objekta istraživanja, te, budući da je riječ o društveno angažiranom istraživanju, otvara prostor za ekspresiju i subjektivaciju ranjive društvene grupe kao što je LGBT zajednica i njenu ulaznicu u društveno-politički i naučni mainstream. Kvalitativna metodologija također nadilazi rigidnost objektivnih, statističkih istraživanja koja nerijetko omalovažavaju stvarna životna iskustva, i odgovaraju hijerarhijama moći kako u nauci tako i u društvu.

Filozof John R. Searle sa vo svojej známej knihe Th e Construction of Social Reality venoval, ako tomu už aj názov napovedá, otázkam súvisiacim s existenciou sociálneho sveta, teda tej oblasti reality, ktorá súvisí s bytím, činnosťou a myšlienkovým svetom ľudí. Searle sa zamýšľa nad tým, ako existujú sociálne, resp. inštitucionálne fakty alebo inak povedané, aké sú špecifi ká existencie sociálnej a inštitucionálnej reality v porovnaní s tzv. tvrdou, fyzickou realitou. Searleove úvahy majú veľkú relevanciu aj pre historické bádanie. V tejto eseji sa pokúsim niektoré otázky, ktoré si Searle kladie v súvislosti so spôsobmi vytvárania a udržiavania reality vecí a vzťahov sociálneho sveta, položiť v súvislosti s takými sociálnymi entitami a javmi, akými sú národ a národnosť (môj výklad sa však rovnako bude týkať aj súvisiacich kategórií: etnikum/etnická skupina, rasa, a javov: nacionalizmus, rasizmus a pod.). Searle vo svojej knihe ako jeden z príkladov sociálneho a inštitucionálneho faktu (entity) uvádza peniaze. Presnejšie, modernú menu, tzv. peniaze s núteným obehom. A práve príklad peňazí mi viackrát poslúži ako odrazový mostík pri uvažovaní o ontológii národa. Najprv však bude potrebné ozrejmiť si niektoré pojmy a súvislosti.

This article explores some of the methodological issues relating to outsider and insider identities in ethnic and migrant qualitative research. It draws up-on two qualitative research studies that set out to examine older (55-75 years) migrant African Caribbean women’s experiences of health and ageing in the UK. An aim is to problematise the conceptualisation of insiderness and outsiderness as polarised and discrete, and provide some examples of how these identities might overlap and intersect. The article takes issue with the argument that it is both possible and desirable to ‘match’ the ethnic background of researcher and participant.

This paper focuses on gendered mobilities of highly skilled researchers working abroad. It is based on an empirical qualitative study that explored the mobility aspirations of Austrian scientists who were working in the United States at the time they were interviewed. Supported by a case study, the paper demonstrates how a qualitative research strategy including graphic drawings sketched by the interviewed persons can help us gain a better understanding of the gendered importance of social relations for the future mobility aspirations of scientists working abroad.

Child centred approaches focus on the children’s perspective and on participation. Participatory action research can be a fruitful methodology for investigating delicate topics such as child labor in migrant communities. This article presents a peer research project conducted in Rome (Italy) which actively involved a group of foreign working young people over two years and employed a variety of methodologies. Research methods will be illustrated and critically discussed, with a particular focus on the benefits for the migrant youths involved and ethical questions arising from this type of research. A brief summary of the main findings will also be provided.

An ethnographic case study approach to understanding women’s actions and reactions to husbands’ emigration or potential emigration offers a distinct set of challenges to a U.S. based researcher. International migration research in a foreign context likely offers challenges in language, culture, lifestyle, as well as potential gender norm impediments. A mixed methods approach contributed to successfully overcoming barriers through an array of research methods, strategies, and tactics, as well as practicing flexibility in data gathering methods. Even this researcher’s influence on the research was minimized and alleviated, to a degree, through ascertaining common ground with many of the women. Research with the women of San Juan Guelavía, Oaxaca, Mexico offered numerous and constant challenges, each overcome with ensuing rewards.

In this paper we review two qualitative interview studies, in which dilemmas of difference played a decisive role. With regard to the first study, which focused on the influence of migration backgrounds in student’s perception of Holocaust Education in Germany, we discuss several research decisions that were made to avoid methodological othering. Concerning a study on HIV risk behavior of gay and bisexual men, psychological challenges of a participatory approach that involved peer interviewers are outlined. We argue that strategies of recognition of the “other” - seen as a reflexive agent - have to be developed systematically as an ethical precondition of socially responsible research.

This paper explores the power dynamics inherent in qualitative research involving migration narratives. Drawing on the author’s experiences collecting life histories and constructing narratives of Congolese young people in Uganda, this article addresses the ethical and methodological issues of representivity, ownership, anonymity and confidentiality. It also explores the importance of investment in relationships in migration narrative research, but also the difficulties that arise when professional and personal boundaries become blurred.

The aim of the paper is to present the potential contribution of using Critical Discursive Psychology to study national identity and immigration. It draws upon a study on Greek national identity negotiations in relation to immigration. The study was guided by the perspective of banal nationalism which treats national identity as a form of life in a world divided into nation states (Billig, 1995). In terms of Greek national identity and immigration, the study drew similarities between the perspective of banal nationalism and the critique of methodological nationalism (Wimmer and Schiller, 2002).

The book presents the results of an action research project which aimed to implement dialogic teaching at lower secondary schools and systematically researched subsequent changes. The monograph opens with two theoretical chapters. The first introduces the key concept of dialogic teaching as a mode of communication which organizes teaching with the aim of stimulating students’ thinking and deepening their understanding of taught content. The second chapter discusses how teachers can change their teaching within further professional development and with the help of video-recorded classes they have taught, their analyses, and their reflections. The focal point of the book is a research project with a professional development course for teachers which consisted of theoretical, experiential, and reflective parts. Therefore, three chapters discuss the course’s results which demonstrate the degree to which teachers were able to manifest changes in their teaching and how these changes were perceived by their students. Through a mosaic of seven case studies, we are shown how the teachers involved transitioned from classic teaching to dialogic teaching, how they dealt with their past habitual patterns of behavior and potential problems which impeded them from fully implementing dialogic teaching, and their ability to reflect on their own teaching. The book concludes with a synthesis, which mainly discusses how difficult it is to change one’s own behavior, especially if the change is very complex and deep.

In this study, it is aimed to present the materials, methods and problems encountered by the 1st year students of Japanese Language and Literature Department to increase their Japanese vocabulary, and the solutions offered by the students themselves in order to eliminate these problems. For this purpose, in 2017-2018 academic year, 18 students of Japanese Language and Literature Department of Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University were interviewed. The research was conducted at the end of the spring semester with volunteer students. As a result of the interviews, it was understood that the students mostly used textbooks, various smart phone applications and dictionaries. The methods used to increase the vocabularies have varied. It is determined that the biggest problem faced by students, who expressed various problems about the vocabulary learning, is that the materials they use are Japanese-English. Finally, it is concluded that students offer similar suggestions to eliminate the problems they encounter during the word learning process. In this study, similar solutions are grouped under 3 categories.

Based on statistics, it is an indisputable fact that the world population is constantly aging, both in terms of the number and proportion of old people in the total population. Thus, population aging is becoming a significant social transformation that has implications for almost all sectors of society. Older people can be seen as contributors to the development involved in policies and programs at all levels. The inverted population pyramid is becoming increasingly apparent, creating difficulties in maintaining the health and pension systems, especially in countries where the share of the elderly has almost doubled. Recently, the perception of older people has changed. Regardless of the reduced abilities, it should not be forgotten that aging brings some values that integrate them into the social environment. One should not forget the acquired professional knowledge and experience, voluntary work and the like, which can contribute to economic growth. The discussions conducted by economists on the problem of age are predominantly neoclassical. The view from another angle comes from sociology authors, sociological politicians who themselves produced their own “older age policies”. In contrast to neoclassical individualism, the sociological picture of aging outlines the social construction of older age and the structural dependence of the elderly. At the heart of this paper is a view from modern macroeconomics that puts into the forefront a household that uses its intertemporal function to plan its consumption. Theoretical explanations are contained in four main modeling frameworks that have become central tools in economic and age studies: the Ramsay model, the generations model, the perpetual youth model, and the overlapping generations model.

The present article deals with the issue of the research perspective related to the problem of perception, alienness and assumptions that are made in contemporary research. The author refers to his own research on violence in the cultural context, conducted in Colombia. Preparation of the research process requires the ability to anticipate, keep distance and maintain discipline in applying the method. The availability of test data is verified at the location and requires flexibility. In Latin American countries, the fact of being a priest makes it much easier to reach people and groups that are otherwise insular. In research and data interpretation, there are always questions that have their reference points in epistemology. Today, the awareness of personal conditioning reaches the dangerous dimensions of extreme individualism and ideological correctness. This is possibly the biggest problem facing a researcher of cultural phenomena today. Meanwhile, group membership does not have to determine the correctness of perception and the assessment of the situation. Familiarness comes from participating in a shared experience that is both universal and individual.
