FIG. 8.2 Several studies conducted on student learning have been aimed at establishing how students acquire a quantum view of phenomena using phenomenographic methods (top left) or quantum-classic index (top right). In both types of research, different types of questions are used, sometimes also u... More about this image found in Several studies conducted on student learning have been aimed at establishi...

Internal reliability requires that within a single study, multiple observers of the same phenomenon come to the same conclusion ( Howe and Eisenhart, 1990 ). Instead of seeking replication in the traditional sense, qualitative research often seeks...
