DATA COLLECTION METHODS

You can still observe some things  – for example your family’s reaction to the suspension, then the final decision etc Your story also is important. Observations from the news clips even.  

Interviews  – semi-structured interviews – you still need to retain the ethics code – the consent forms and informed participant information forms – then conduct the iinterviews face to face ONLY in your household, or by Zoom or phone call – obviously get permission to record the conversation. 

Coding data- into emergent themes – both from the theories and the data you have collected 

Critical analysis – remember  your findings need to be critical – the points you make linked back to the literature you have set up in your review of literature.
