Focus of the questions+ the life meaning of a topic What it does for the group+ draws out the significance from the data for the group Questions are in releation to+ layers of meaning, purpose, siginificance, implications, "story" and values + considering alternatives, options Key Questions+ what is happening here? + what is this all about? + what does this all mean for us? + how will this affect our work? + what are we learning from this? + what is the insight? Traps and pitfalls+ abusing the data by inserting pre-cooked meaning + intellectualizing + abstracting + jugding responses as right or wrong If the level is omitted+ group gets no chance to make sense of the first two levels + no higher-order thinking goes into descision-making 29.06.2004, by Sigi ~ Herzog. |
