Session Description:
Do you ever feel like your students are speaking a different language? Are you interested in how students actually go about doing their research assignments? This presentation addresses these questions and more through a textual analysis of 20 in-depth, qualitative interviews conducted with undergraduates about their research process. The presenters utilize the textual analysis tool Voyant to provide a quantitative analysis of the students language use and apply narrative inquiry to explore how students make sense of the research process.
