Instructions. Each team prepares an oral report and a graphic organizer of a category matrix that includes (a)
theoretical base (b) definition of main category (c) possible sub-categories (d) instrument/technique to collect data
on given categories, and (e) connection with research objectives.
Objectives to be Assessed.

E.O. 2: Designs reliable and valid data collection instruments for the proposed research study.
E.O. 3: Uses different methods for the rigorous, systematic and reliable analysis of data, including varied forms of
triangulation that maximize the validity of interpretations.
E.O. 4: Demonstrates conceptual, theoretical, and methodological appropriation of both the process and the results of
the study through the format selected to present it.
E.O. 5: Structures his/her graduation project according to the thematic lines, presentation formats, and manuscript
types established by the program.
C.O. 2: Follows the steps of the qualitative research methodology selected to their graduation project.

Observations

1. Nice job constructing your own definitions.

2. Keep in mind that the identity crisis often results from a discrepancy between external and internal factors.
3. For technological issues I think you should consider not only technical aspects but also students’
technological skills.
4. Do not confuse narratives for data collection with narratives for the analysis.
