Document Summary
People leave traces of themselves and the traces make speak louder and give more information about them then the account they themselves might offer. Collect data that is left behind so it doesn"t really involve people. Traces, social artifacts, biological artifacts, diaries, letters, sales receipts, garbage, materials that were first created for some other purpose prior to our examining them as data: the research model that berg/lune advocate. Berg suggests that a combination of the research-before-theory enterprise and the theory-before-research enterprise be used. The proposed approach is conceived as spiraling rather than linear in its progression. With every two steps forward, you take a step or two backward before proceeding any further. You are spiraling forward, never actually leaving any stage behind completely. Stages as follows: ideas literature review design data collection and. Begin with some sort of rough idea for a research study. Begin thinking and reading about the topical idea.
