@cambgirl Can you suggest any resources for properly structuring a pilot study? I can only find general suggestions. #phdchat #
@NSRiazat It was suggested this will make my overall study stronger. The Viva may inquire about why I did or did not do one #phdchat #
@NSRiazat I am also wondering about this, as I am doing semi-structured interviews, so can change along the way. #phdchat #
@NSRiazat The pilot study was just suggested to me. Not sure why, but it never occurred to me. I instantly saw its potential value. #phdchat #
@PapersGenius How does this work with your research? @OwhyOwhy #phdchat #
@OwhyOwhy I am definitely doing a qualitative study. I am focused on how people make meaning #phdchat @PapersGenius #
@OwhyOwhy I am not trying to save time at the expense of quality and potentially valuable findings #phdchat #
@JaneBozarth Develop the interview protocol and test it with a few people to pilot the questions? How do you suggest choosing these people? #
@carlosl824 That is an assumption I have never made! #
@aephd Are you suggesting to still use the pilot data toward the final data? #phdchat #
@NSRiazat @PapersGenius @gtombs @cambgirl @OwhyOwhy @JaneBozarth @aephd Thanks for your most helpful feedback about a pilot study #phdchat #
@christiepooh I had no idea a concert tour was in the works. Very interested in going if and when here in #NYC #
@skirrid You may just find my program at #Lancs also to your liking. . . #
Have a number of Tweets to reply to once this endless drive is finished #phdchat #
Thanks to my #phdchat colleagues for some feedback about pilot testing semi-structured interview questions. Any other experiences to share? #
Finished bottling the wine. I now have a good amount of fantastic Chateauneuf. #
@NSRiazat Great. Were they interviews you did? How long extra did it take, and what did you learn that changed your direction? #phdchat #
Am thinking about piloting my doctoral study to test my semi-structured research protocol. Any guidelines or experiences to share? #phdchat #
@christiepooh Erasure tickets are available already? #
@skirrid Goodness, that must be a difficult experience. Time for next plans to begin to form; onward and upward. #
Enough for today; tomorrow will find me bottling that barrel of wine that has been aging all year. Can't wait to try it. #
@4KM Celebrate and maintain that balance at all costs! #
@4KM You well? #
@4KM Just received IRB approval to begin, so working on my research protocol and then to begin some piloting. #phdchat #
@4KM Yes, we are working to maintain that. #
@4KM Agreed. Have you had an interesting, recent experience? #
@PapersGenius 😉 #

@PapersGenius And I may just reach out to you about my research! #phdchat #
@OKLibrarian Thanks for the suggestions. I have not found Google Scholar very helpful. Have you? #phdchat #
