ARP- Examples of data

As my research method was conversational, the data i have collected is in the form of voice recorded interviews. These interviews were conducted with consent, promised anonymity, and I agreed not to share transcripts of these conversation.It is important for me to respect the confidentiality of the participants. However, I will still provide some examples of qualitative data without violating their privacy.

  1. I will ensure that the information I share is generalised and de-identified. I will avoid using real names, specific institutions, or any other details that could potentially identify the participants.
  2. When I need to provide direct quotes, I will assign pseudonyms and generic labels to participants (e.g., Student A, Student B). This still allows me to share specific participant perspectives, without compromising the agreement.
  3. When presenting my findings, I will combine and summarise responses to present an overall picture, providing a summary of common themes or patterns that emerged from the interviews. From this I will be able to focus on the broader themes and trends that emerged from the interviews, discussing the qualitative data without sharing specific details about individual participants.
