a) Carr, D.S., Williams, D.R. (1993) Understanding the Role of Ethnicity in Outdoor
Recreation Experiences. Journal of Leisure Research, Vol. 25, No. 1
b) In this research there was a lot of work done in finding how/what interests many minorites in the world to participate in outdoor activites. It says that ethnicity can be measured in many different ways; the research also says that when you want more minorities to join into outdoor activites, you need to look into their insite and interests when it comes to the outdoors. Basically it says not to only think of the "white mans" thoughts upon mother nature.
c) I believe the purpose of this literature review is to increase the knowledge of a very unknowledgable human being, on the topic of minorities and outdoor recreation use.
d) From what I can see it is qualitive work, where everything is organized to a specific way making sure what is trying to be portrayed in the article is clear to all readers. The researcher collected data from many sources (books, articles, journals, etc.) so he could inform us of what minorities current action rate in outdoor activites is.
e) The only one critical thinking skill I can think of that may have violated on of the criteria, would be annalyzing assumptions and biases. I believe this because when it comes to issues as this, many things can be taken incorrectly and informally as well as being bias. I think everything seemed good, but there are those few glitches that could be sought at differently.

Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting article!
Remember--qualitative research involves interviews and case studies...organization really does not define a qualitative study.
It sounds like the researchers spent a lot of time developing a literature review in their article, though, as they gathered a great deal of information from books, articles, websites, etc...not necessarily directly from people...
What were some of the glitches in the research that could have been viewed differently? I would love to hear about them.
