Cultivating communities of care: A qualitative investigation of the communication of support among incarcerated women

In 2014, a female-only detention and re-entry facility was restructured to implement new rehabilitative philosophies rooted in strategies to prepare incarcerated women for successful transition into society. A specialized housing unit called incentive-based housing (IBH) was created within this facility to promote an environment of accountability and responsibility. Here, women are expected to be proactive in seeking and achieving successes through programming, all while offering support to one another. In this study, participant observations and interviews were used to understand how 12 incarcerated women living in IBH communicate support. This qualitative study revealed three forms of support being communicated: (a) accountability, (b) validation, and (c) compassion. This study also revealed forms of communication that complicate support, including (a) drama and (b) rivalry. Communication of support is important to consider as we devise new approaches to rehabilitation within America’s criminal justice system.     

Experiences of Lesbian,Gay, Bisexual,Transgender, and Questioning or Queer Students at Evangelical Christian Colleges as Described in Personal Blogs

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning or queer (LGBTQ) students at evangelical Christian colleges are a population frequently overlooked in the literature on the spiritual lives of college students. The author used qualitative content analysis within a phenomenological tradition to examine blog posts by such students, who face multiple identity challenges and official sanctions on campuses. Findings indicate these students want to be recognized as both LGBTQ and evangelical Christian by their colleges. Included are implications for counseling professionals and college administrators.     

School exclusion,substance misuse and use of weapons: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of interviews with children

The study presents data drawn from semi-structured interviews with five young people permanently excluded from schools in North East England. The research aimed to investigate the risk factors that lead to the children using illegal drugs, to determine the drivers and implications for drug misuse and the carrying of knives into school. The research also hoped to elicit from the young people, the solutions that could have prevented their exclusion from school. The interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis to understand how a homogenous sample made sense of their lived experiences. The findings highlight the importance of prompt identification and support for children with learning and subsequent mental health needs as the evidence suggests they lead to perceived negative behaviours by teachers. The research provides further evidence that behaviour sanctions in mainstream schools such as detention and isolation booths do not improve behaviour but make it worse. Original to this research is the finding that children are consuming drugs before school to cope with their inability to access the learning, to aid their concentration and to medicate themselves to reduce the likelihood of being sanctioned by teachers.

The submergence and re-emergence of gender in undergraduate accounts of university experience

Gender distinction has been shown to characterise both undergraduate experiences and outcomes. Yet research recounted in this article supports work that shows that young people are often unaware of such trends, subscribing instead to individualist perspectives that foreground equality of opportunity and agency. This article examines the gender continuities and divergences in 64 undergraduate students' accounts of their experiences, and constructions of peers and lecturers, in higher education. Concepts of heteroglossia and monoglossia are applied to gender to explain how students submerged ‘structure’ and inequality in their accounts, but how discourses that presented the genders as distinct (and in which the masculine is elevated over the feminine) nevertheless ‘bubbled up’ in their articulations. The students tended to reject the notion that gender and other structural differences impact their experiences and outcomes; yet their broader discussions frequently reflected (often stereotypical) monoglossic constructions of gender difference. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings for the sociology of education and for higher-education pedagogy.     

中学体育教师业务能力评价体系建构——质性评价与量化评价的有效结合

随着我国基础教育课程改革的推进和素质教育的深入发展,发展性教育评价理念越来越广泛地得到人们的认可,但是当前关于中学体育教师业务能力的评价还存在较大的不足。采用文献资料、专家访谈、问卷调查及数理统计等方法,在参考众多专家学者的已有研究,以及对体育教育活动的内在规律和体育教师的业务范围准确把握的基础上,建构中学体育教师业务能力质性和量化有机结合的评价体系。通过集体经验法设计了多元主体的指标体系;采用秩和运算法获得各指标的权重;设计以期望值评语标准和等级评价标准相结合的领导、同行、评价教师本人以及学生等不同主体使用的评价标准;对评价信息的收集和处理方法进行了设计,使评价呈现出"螺旋"式的"收集资料—评价—反馈"的循环动态评价过程。     

Performance of conceptual framework elements for the retrieval of qualitative health literature: a case study

Objective:A growing volume of studies address methods for performing systematic reviews of qualitative studies. One such methodological aspect is the conceptual framework used to structure the review question and plan the search strategy for locating relevant studies. The purpose of this case study was to evaluate the retrieval potential of each element of conceptual frameworks in qualitative systematic reviews in the health sciences.Methods:The presence of elements from conceptual frameworks in publication titles, abstracts, and controlled vocabulary in CINAHL and PubMed was analyzed using a set of qualitative reviews and their included studies as a gold standard. Using a sample of 101 publications, we determined whether particular publications could be retrieved if a specific element from the conceptual framework was used in the search strategy.Results:We found that the relative recall of conceptual framework elements varied considerably, with higher recall for patient/population (99%) and research type (97%) and lower recall for intervention/phenomenon of interest (74%), outcome (79%), and context (61%).Conclusion:The use of patient/population and research type elements had high relative recall for qualitative studies. However, other elements should be used with great care due to lower relative recall.     

意志品质的质性分析及模型建构

运用行为事件访谈法,对运动员以及在意志品质方面具有超凡表现的特质型运动代表克服困难的行为进行现象学访谈,通过质性分析,运用Nvivo编码软件逐级编码,建构了意志品质模型。建构的意志品质模型中,共有两级维度,包括4个一级维度和9个二级子维度。4个一级维度是:自觉性、独立性、果断性和坚韧性。9个二级子维度包含自我实现欲、目标清晰度、自制力、信念确认度、顽强性、智源集中度、决策及时性、倦怠耐久度和困难承受度。其中,自我实现欲、目标清晰度、自制力归属于自觉性;信念确认度、顽强性归属于独立性;智源集中度、决策及时性归属于果断性;倦怠耐久度和困难承受度归属于坚韧性。
