______________________________ Qualitative visual research Research methods that are participatory, visual and fun are often more appropriate and more relevant to young people than closed questionnaires that take a long time to administer and do not allow as much feedback during the process as more open-ended qualitative methods. Techniques, such as Participatory Appraisal (PA) have allowed groups to be more inclusive of young people that are often excluded from more formal processes or meetings. Visual techniques can engage people in different locations - they can be used not only in group situations, but also out on the street, in parks, youth clubs and outside shops. Methods that use few words and record information in a simple and visual way will also include people that are not so comfortable with writing and words, but can equally be used with fully literate people and policy-makers. Using this type of qualitative visual research does, however, require capacity building for the award holders, as they should be used in a rigorous way and require continued support to write up and analyse the information. This is a good opportunity for capacity building for the award holders that can be provided within the context of the scheme. Young people have found that this type of training can improve their facilitation skills, their confidence in working with groups of young people and in drawing out issues and action of relevance to improving the lives of young people. These techniques have also been used by young people to evaluate their own work with groups of young people. ____________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Annette Taylor, Ph. D.

I have to admit, this one has me scratching my head. Can someone please tell me what type of research this is? Thanks Annette ps: While I hope to get a serious definitive answer, I also look forward to replies from those creative souls who are as clueless as I am and are wondering if this has something to do with the assessing the aesthetic value of sculptures.....
