Enacting Research Methods in Information Systems: Volume 2

This edited three volume edition brings together significant papers previously published in the Journal of information Technology (JIT) over its 30 year publication history. The three volumes of Enacting Research Methods in Information Systems celebrate the methodological pluralism used to advance our understanding of information technology's role in the world today. In addition to quantitative methods from the positivist tradition, JIT also values methodological articles from critical research perspectives, interpretive traditions, historical perspectives, grounded theory, and action research and design science approaches. Volume 1 covers Critical Research, Grounded Theory, and Historical Approaches. Volume 2 deals with Interpretive Approaches and also explores Action Research. Volume 3 focuses on Design Science Approaches and discusses Alternative Approaches including Semiotics Research, Complexity Theory and Gender in IS Research. The Journal of Information Technology (JIT) was started in 1986 by Professors Frank Land and Igor Aleksander with the aim of bringing technology and management together and bridging the ‘great divide’ between the two disciplines. The Journal was created with the vision of making the impact of complex interactions and developments in technology more accessible to a wider audience. Retaining this initial focus, the JIT has gone on to extend into new and innovative areas of research such as the launch of JITTC in 2010. A high impact journal, JIT shall continue to publish leading trends based on significant research in the field.

Handbook of Complementary Methods in Education Research

Published for the American Educational Research Association by Routledge. The Handbook of Complementary Methods in Education Research is a successor volume to AERA's earlier and highly acclaimed editions of Complementary Methods for Research in Education. More than any book to date (including its predecessors), this new volume brings together the wide range of research methods used to study education and makes the logic of inquiry for each method clear and accessible. Each method is described in detail, including its history, its research design, the questions that it addresses, ways of using the method, and ways of analyzing and reporting outcomes. Key features of this indispensable book include the following: Foundations Section-Part I is unique among research books. Its three chapters examine common philosophical, epistemological, and ethical issues facing researchers from all traditions, and frames ways of understanding the similarities and differences among traditions. Together they provide a tripartite lens through which to view and compare all research methods. Comprehensive Coverage-Part II (the heart of the book) presents 35 chapters on research design and analysis. Each chapter includes a brief historical overview of the research tradition, examines the questions that it addresses, and presents an example of how the approach can be used. Programs of Research-Part III examines how research programs connected to eight specific lines of inquiry have evolved over time. These chapters examine phenomena such as classroom interaction; language research; issues of race, culture, and difference; policy analysis; program evaluation; student learning; and teacher education. Complementary Methods-As the title suggests, a central mission of this book is to explore the compatibility of different research methods. Which methods can be productively brought together and for what purposes? How and on what scale can they be made compatible and what phenomena are they best suited to explore? Flexibility-The chapters in Parts II and III are largely independent. Therefore, selected portions of the book can be used in courses devoted to specific research methods and perspectives or to particular areas of education. Likewise, established researchers interested in acquiring new techniques or greater expertise in a given methodology will find this an indispensable reference volume. This handbook is appropriate for any of the following audiences: faculty teaching and graduate students studying education research, education researchers and other scholars seeking an accessible overview of state-of-the-art knowledge about specific methods, policy analysts and other professionals needing to better understand research methods, and academic and research libraries serving these audiences.

Educational Research

Written in the language of education, not of research, this introduction to educational research methods focuses on research as a system of examining and analyzing educational outcomes -- and the many ways in which teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors can apply research findings to solving the day-to-day problems they face. It provides numerous examples taken from classroom teaching, counseling, administration, and other areas of education. Covers all of the traditional topics of educational research -- with a distinctive emphasis on the need for working educators to continue in the role of researchers while they teach. Provides thorough treatment of measurement essentials for those with little or no statistical background. Features a wealth of classroom examples, along with dozens of charts, tables, and graphs. The "Second Edition" features new chapters on qualitative methods and meta analysis, and interjects an overall qualitative "flavor" throughout.

Qualitative Research Methods in Education and Educational Technology

Qualitative Research Methods in Education and Educational Technology was written for students and scholars interested in exploring the many qualitative methods developed over the last 50 years in the social sciences. The book does not stop, however, at the boundaries of the social sciences. Social scientists now consume and use research methods from many fields. The rich resources of research methods and theories from both the humanities and philosophy are also covered in this book. It explains why postpositivist quantitative research should not be "the only game in town" and provides solid theoretical foundations, beginning with the positions of Plato and Aristotle, for broadening our horizons about what warrants our attention. Using Aristotle's concept of phronesis the author shows why methods such as narrative research and storytelling, hermeneutic inquiry, literary theory, philosophical inquiry, and much more have important applications in education and educational technology. On those foundations, the author also builds a framework for doing many types of research - from participatory action research to content analysis, to postmodern case studies, to empowerment research and philosophical inquiry. He accomplishes this through a combination of original text, summaries of exemplary research in education and educational technology, and suggested readings that are annotated and introduced at the end of each chapter. Many of these readings are available online and they extend the discussion of research methods or serve as exemplars of a particular type of educational technology research. There are open ended and conceptual questions for each reading, and developing your own answers to them is one way you can extend your depth of understanding about qualitative research methods in education and educational technology.

EKONOMI PEMBANGUNAN

Suatu pembangunan merupakan sebuah proses kenaikan pendapatan secara total dan maksimal, pendapatan perkapita penduduk dengan memperhitungkan bertambahnya penduduk serta adanya perubahan yang fundamental dalam struktur ekonomi suatu negara dan pemerataan pendapatan bagi penduduk dalam jangka waktu yang panjang. Ada tiga hal yang sangat penting berkaitan dengan pembangunan ekonomi, yaitu :Pembangunan sebagai suatu proses Yang berarti bahwa pembangunan adalah suatu tahap yang harus dijalani dan dilalui oleh setiap masyarakat atau bangsa. Contohnya : manusia sejak lahir tidak akan langsung menjadi besar, akan tetapi untuk menjadi besar banyak tahapan pertumbuhan yang harus dilalui. Begitu juga dengan masyarakat atau penduduk suatu negara harus menjalani tahapan atau proses perkembangan agar mendapatkan kesejahteraan, kemakmuran dan ketentraman. Pembangunan sebagai suatu usaha untuk meningkatkan pendapatan perkapitaMaksudnya ialah pembangunan merupakan salah satu tindakan positif atau suatu usaha yang harus dilakukan oleh setiap negara dalam meningkatkan pendapatan perkapita. Oleh karenanya, peran serta masyarakat, pemerintah, juga semua elemen dalam suatu negara untuk berpartisipasi secara aktif dan berkonstribusi dalam sebuah proses pembangunan sangat dibutuhkan.Peningkatan pendapatan perkapita harus berlangsung dalam jangka panjang Dalam suatu perekonomian bisa dikatakan berkembang jika pendapatan perkapita dalam jangka panjang lebih cenderung meningkat. Namun bukan berarti bahwa pendapatan perkapitanya harus selalu mengalami kenaikan secara terus menerus. Contohnya, jika dalam sebuah negara terjadi suatu musibah bencana alam ataupun lainnya, maka negara tersebut akan mengalami kemunduran perekonomian. Tetapi yang terpenting adalah kegiatan atau usaha dalam mengembangkan ekonominya rata-rata selalu meningkat pada setiap tahunnya, Pembangunan ekonomi dapat dilakukan melalui penanaman modal, manajemen, penggunaan teknologi, peningkatan keterampilan, penambahan pengetahuan dan penambahan kemampuan berorganisasi. Dalam pembangunan ekonomi tidak terlepas dari pertumbuhan ekonomi atau economic growth, dimana pembangunan ekonomi mendorong adanya pertumbuhan ekonomi, juga sebaliknya, dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi dapat memperlancar suatu proses pembangunan ekonomi.
