Hi everyone! Most of my data came in the last week of the semester in the form of students' final digital portfolios and oral portfolio critique. As you can see from my image below, I have been somewhat successfully using voice to text to transcribe recordings of their critiques. After a lot of trial and error, I found that the best method was for me to play the recording in my ear on headphones and talk loudly and clearly enough that the voice to text software can pick up me repeating the student's speech. I did find a service that would transcibe for you, but at $0.79 a minute, I cannot afford to transcribe over 8 hours of recordings! I will be spending this weekend continuing to work through transcriptions and sorting student's digital portfolios into an uploadable form. I am a little concerned about being a person this semester, as the week our paper is due is also the week I am taking HS kids to conference art show, taking MS kids to competition, and setting up and chaperoning prom. I am thinking that Monday after will need to be a personal day :). After reading the chapter this week, I think my study makes the most sense as phenomenology, because I am studying the phenomena of students finding or growing their voice. As I was reading I imagined trying to complete the steps of analysis for each of the five approaches with my data. I originally thought that my piece might be a narrative study or grounded theory, but after doing this mental exercise, the steps for phenominology seemed to fit and make sense with my data set. Espeically since I am immersed in transcribing students final reflections, the bullet in the phenomenology section "developng significant statements about how individuals are experiencing the topic." stood out to me because I am finding and remembering statements that students made that were so profound about their artmaking process. Now if only I can get them transcibed properly so others can find them profound as well!
