[Xmca-l] Re: job-CSU Sacramento

[Stone, Lynda]

Hi again Julian‹just saw this response.

There was a reason for the qualitative emphasis and it had more to do with
competencies with
qualitative rather than lack of quantitative methodological knowledge‹I am
assuming folks would have both.
However, I have discovered that those who attain there PhD¹s here in
traditional human development programs (at least those who
apply for our positions) often have only a superficial knowledge of
qualitative research and no experience with it, as this is the case
with many of our faculty who are well trained to do laboratory research‹-
The best approach, of course, is to generate an interesting research
question and then utilize whatever methods are appropriate for this
question. So the emphasis in the job call was to meet programmatic needs.
I hope this helps you understand why ³qualitative² was placed in the
requirement‹ My guess is that degrees in human development in your
setting might offer course work and practical experience in both methods,
as did my training.

Sincerely,
-lynda
