Reusing qualitative video data: matching reuse goals and criteria for selection

Abstract

PurposeThis research investigated the reuse of Video Records of Practice (VRPs) – i.e. a type of qualitative data documenting teaching and learning in educational settings. It studied how reusers' purposes and experience-level with VRP reuse influence the importance of various VRP selection criteria and how these differ depending on whether the main goal for reuse was research or teaching. It also examined whether two different dimensions of qualitative research – reflexivity and context – were factors in VRP reuse.Design/methodology/approachThe study reports on surveys of reusers at four VRP repositories. Questions were based on the literature and interviews with VRP reusers. The response rate was 20.6% (180 of 872 distributed surveys). This paper focused on 126 respondents who affirmatively responded they reused VRPs from a repository.FindingsResearchers using VRPs were primarily interested in examining a broad range of processes in education and studying/improving ways to measure differences and growth in education. Reusers with teaching goals were commonly interested in VRPs to engage learners in showing examples/exemplars of – and reflecting on – teaching and learning. These differences between research and teaching led to varied expectations about VRPs, such as the amount of content needed and necessary contextual information to support reuse.Research limitations/implicationsWhile repositories focus on exposing content, understanding and communicating certain qualities of that content can help reusers identify VRPs and align goals with selection decisions.Originality/valueAlthough qualitative data are increasingly reused, research has rarely focused on identifying how qualitative data reusers employ selection criteria. This study focused on VRPs as one type of qualitative data and identified the attributes of VRPs that reusers perceived to be important during selection. These will help VRP repositories determine which metadata and documentation meet reusers' goals.

Research and Application of Cloud Platform-Oriented Intelligent Information Management System

“…Some educational institutions and laboratories analyze the learning characteristics of students based on the online behavior data of students in the educational system. For example, Kim, J. explores students' online learning data through data mining technology, so as to discover the relevant factors that lead to students dropping out of school [4]. Pavlicheva, E. N. conducted correlation analysis on students' consumption in Central South University and established a correlation model.…”

Video data security prevention system based on artificial intelligence

“…With the improvement of Internet technology and the improvement of hardware performance, neural network architecture is developing in the direction of deep learning algorithms, and the self-learning ability of artificial intelligence has been greatly improved 5 . With the acceleration of the process of intelligence, data tampering based on intelligent technology has posed new challenges to the information security of the network.…”
