Case studies of guidance service users

Discussion Topic | 1 reply | 15-May-2006 | Lucy Hearne |
A current research study is taking place in Ireland using Case Studies of clients.
Clients can make a valuable contribution to the development of tracking systems to measure progression. This is research is currently taking place in the Waterford Institute of Technology (Ireland) by myself. I am posing the question 'can progression be effectively measured within longitudinal tracking systems'. I am conducting interviews with clients and using grounded theory as my data analysis mechanism. Interviews are underway at the moment. It is envisaged that the findings will benchmark best practice in the relatively new field of adult guidance in Ireland.

You might be interested in the research that we are undertaking at IER. It is a five year study of clients who have recieved guidance (in various contexts). We are in the third year of follow-ups. We have been using grounded theory as part of our data analysis. You can download the first two reports: Bimrose, J., Barnes, S-A. and Hughes, D.
