data dumpers versus communicators
November 6th, 2007
when asked to divide researchers into two camps, people generally default to quantitative and qualitative. but i maintain that all researchers can be sorted into the following two groups: communicators and data dumpers. communicators feel compelled to engage and inspire an audience, while data dumpers merely record their findings and basically leave it at that.
to me,компютри втора употребаWenn Ihre Chips zur Neige gehen, können Sie jederzeit den Übungsraum sie kostenlos Pokerspiele online omaha poker verlassen und wieder von vorn starten. it all goes back to the presence (or absence) of a story. are the findings laid out in such a way that the audience feels compelled to pay attention and find out what happens next, or does the researcher rely on the latent curiosity and stamina of the audience to plow through the presentation?
in thinking about this, i am reminded of when i was a kid in grade school feebly trying to memorize collections of facts and dates in history class. while timelines had me stymied, i always looked forward to the 16 millimeter reels of the you are there television series the teacher used to bring in. for that precious half hour, we were given a chance to see a story — perhaps paul revere’s ride or the death of socrates — coming to life in front of us. whether the “you are there” series would engage me in the same way today is very doubtful. but decades later, it’s about all i can remember of seventh grade history class. by the way, i’m not trying imply that film is the only medium that can take a subject like history and engage an audience. i would sooner recommend gore vidal’s historical novels мебелиlincoln and burr.
the point is that researchers should put as much thought and consideration for their audience into the form and shape of their final communication as they did into obtaining their findings in the first place. that’s the only way to ensure that research results will make a lasting and inspiring impression.
