• W36614922 abstract "ABSTRACTThis paper draws on a phenomenological study based study (Waters, 1994) to demonstrate the applicability of collecting and recording data using a research journal. The study focused on two key life stages, first-time pregnancy and first-time parenthood, which is an under developed area of research in family leisure studies, as previous approaches have tended to concentrate on all phases of family life (Beck & Arnold 2009). The study collected data in two phases using focus groups and interviews with pre-birth and post-birth groups and interviews with leisure facility managers. The paper discusses the meaning and importance of reflections as a means of evaluating the experiences of the researcher. A number of key research issues emerging during the study in terms of the validity of using journals as a method recording data are discussed and evaluated. The paper concludes with affirming the benefits of reflection through journal writing as an alternative to traditional qualitative methodsKeywordsreflection, research journal, research extracts, phenomenology, research experience, qualitative research1.0 INTRODUCTIONThe main objective of this paper was to examine and record the researcher experience in the field, through the use of a research journal to help fill a gap in the research literature. In the research literature, principally within the fields of psychology and sociology (Dewey, 1933) has identified that reflective writing practices are principally concerned with giving serious thought to experiences that are unfolding. Also, another key objective was to open up my research experience and impressions in written format to other researchers to challenge assumptions, offer different viewpoints and provoke new insights into research This approach facilitates learning about research and helps makes connections between experience and learning (Van Gyn, 1996). Although, the core focus of this paper is on reflection in the field of research, it is appreciated that reflective practice is a vital component of training in the professional fields of nursing and social work and in management education. For example, Gray (2007) has advocated a range of reflective tools in management education, which include coaching, mentoring and action learning, but Hibbert (2013) argues this is problematic for undergraduate students with little or no experience to reflect upon. However, Hibbert (2013) suggested a teaching model to prepare and encourage reflection and Cunliffe (2002, 2009) has identified a range of reflective practices in teaching management education that have witnessed some success. With specific regard to research, reflection involves complex processing of information which helps the researcher to examine and evaluate their experience, rather than focus on the research outcome (Murray & Kujunzic, 2005). The research journal is one of many tools that can be used by a researcher in reflecting and examining their experience and at the same time collect valuable research data. Qualitative researchers have predominantly used traditional methods of collecting data such as interviews and focus groups, whereas this paper advocates the use of a research journal (Ortlipp, 2008). However, the lack of literature that discusses and evaluates the experiences of researchers in using research journals is limited (Borg, 2001). As a result little is known about the benefits of using research journals as part of the research process to capture additional data and develop the skills of the researcher.1.1 Organisation of the paperThe first section of this paper explains the key concepts of 'reflection', after which the benefits of using a research journal are highlighted. Next, the specific research journey embarked upon in the field of family life and leisure is described. Then, in order to give context to this paper a number of research extracts sourced from the research journal are introduced and discussed to highlight some of the main concerns and issues encountered during this research study. …" @default.
