Dr Guy, its now been two years since i submitted my dissertation and i was reminiscing when I came across one of your famous you tube videos. It still fills me with pride what I achieved but could not have done it without the support of you and others close to me. I hope others will be inspired to go on and achieve their dreams. Never Give Up - success is just on the other side of failure!

First, thank you for the videos! They address many concerns that are not addressed as clearly or at all elsewhere (from my experience). In this video and several others you recommended accessing as many dissertations in order to reviews methodologies and other factors. Different institutions have dramatically different levels of access to dissertation databases (especially full text access). What databases would you recommend? I have seen ProQuest mentioedn in other places but your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Dr. White, I wish I saw this a long time ago. Your videos are so helpful. Right now I am needing to find a conceptual framework for my research. I am doing a phenomenal study with Native American providers who are trained or certified in dialectical behavioral therapy. I want to do an interview process and ask Native providers their experience using DBT among the Native population. So if I am learning this right, their is different models in the phenomenal approach to use. Therefore will need to find one that will look at the interviewee's experiences. Is that correct? Also, hoping you don't mind but did share to my class your website. Joe

+Joe Wood Hi Joe! I would be honored if you shared this with your class. Thank you! Did you see my latest program? www.thedissertationmentor.com/store/oeL9WYdw Overall, never forget that phenomenology typically deals with a very specific process, like childbirth. If DBT has specific steps like that, then you are probably in business. Get a great book on phenomenological approaches to see if it matches. Otherwise, it could be a case study or an ethnography, depending on what precisely you are doing.

Hi Dr. White, I hope this message finds you well! I am three classes in (almost 4, but who's counting) into my EdD program. My quantitative research professor said your videos were "must watches," and I can see why. However, I do have a question being new to the process. Why would a dissertation chair allow one to write 10 chapters of a dissertation and THEN say, no, start over? If the EdD program is a three year program, would they not help guide you to ensure you have selected the right methodology from the start? My question may seem so naive, but I'm really curious as to what the role of a dissertation chair is if it is not to ensure one's success from the very start. Thanks for any insight you may provide.

At my institution they want us to distinguish between methodology and design. In my case, I have a qualitative study using phenomenological design. A challenge for me has been in the proposal when writing about why a particular design was chosen over the others available. I appreciate the sources you have mentioned. the current dilemma is that my content expert and methodologist do not agree on the design. Any thoughts?

What is the difference between methods and methodology?
@guyewhite
@guyewhite 6 жыл бұрын
Yvette! COOL QUESTION! I'm going to cover this in the next "Office Hours" episode. Methods = tools/techniques. Methodology = strategy. My methods might be "interview," "survey," etc. However, my methodology might be what could be done in the type of research I am conducting and the justification of why I am doing things the way I am doing because of the approach chosen. It's like a dentist: drilling is the method. The whole system of tooth-care in which drilling could sit as a solution -- and why I would choose drilling in this instance is the methodology. Subtle, but important. This gets to a big concern I see when working with doctoral students. Many of them think "I am DOING a case study." When I ask them what that is, they say "surveys." My point is that the case study methodology is larger than just "surveys" it's a whole system of thinking about working with others.
