Abstract Questioning is considered as one of the most dominant features in virtually every classroom discourse. This study aims at examining the types and functions of teacher questions that facilitate student learning in an EFL class in Vietnam. The classification of questions employed in the study follows the work proposed by Richards and Lockhart in 2007. Participants in the research were one teacher and 25 students in an English university class in Vietnam. The data was collected through classroom observation and audio recording. Both qualitative and quantitative content analysis were utilized to analyze the data. The findings of the study indicate that the most frequently used question types were convergent and divergent questions, and procedural questions only accounted for a small proportion. Furthermore, it was found that convergent questions were employed to check and guide students’ understanding of the lesson’s target lexical items, while divergent ones were used to promote students’ further analysis and their own evaluation of the knowledge provided in the study material. Finally, procedural questions were chiefly posed when the teacher monitored students in class activities. Keywords: classroom discourse, classroom interaction, teacher questions

This research will examine the classroom discourse and interactions between a teacher and students in an ESL class. It will analyze how discourse occurs and how it can facilitate language learning. The participants were adult university students or employees. Via live classroom observation and audio recording of classes, the data were collected. The findings suggest that the teacher controlled all students, and led all class activities and the teaching process. The teacher frequently used pronouns ‘you’, ‘we’, ‘I’ while teaching as well as words such as “perfect,” “correct,” and “very good” to motivate students in-class participation. Students mostly used the pronoun ‘I’ to answer the questions. Most of the questions were closed-ended, so students did not have a chance to elaborate or share their ideas. The discourse occurred in an “IRF” -- Initial, Response, and Follow up. Lack of coherence and cohesion were widely visible in classroom interaction and most of the sentences uttered were ungrammatical.

This chapter discusses the principles of textual analysis as a means of gathering information and evidence in political research. Textual analysis has generated strong interest as a research method not only in Politics and International Relations, but also throughout the social sciences. In political research, two forms of textual analysis have become particularly prominent: discourse analysis and content analysis. The chapter examines discourse analysis and content analysis and explains the use of documents, archival sources, and historical writing as data. It considers the distinction between discourse analysis and content analysis, as well as the differences between qualitative and quantitative content analysis. It also describes the procedures that are involved in both quantitative and qualitative content analysis.

Constructive Journalism

The deconstruction of constructive journalism at VRT We contribute to the deconstruction of constructive journalism by suggesting a definition as well as an operationalization. We set up a measuring instrument that lists the characteristics and practices of constructive journalism and put it to the test. We conducted both a qualitative and quantitative content analysis of the 7 p.m. news bulletin of public broadcaster VRT under chief editor Björn Soenens (November 2013-September 2016). Soenens presented himself as a proponent of constructive journalism, but our findings show he was not able to implement his ideas into practice. News items under Soenens are found to be less constructive than news items under his predecessor Wim Willems. Our findings also suggest that ‘the layer of constructivity’ added to the news can be studied pre-eminently on the level of full coverage of a topic rather than on the level of any individual news item.

AbstractThe article applies political discourse analysis to presidential speeches in four countries. A qualitative and quantitative content analysis of 71 annual addresses delivered by the political leaders of the United States, Canada, Russia and Kazakhstan over the 20-year period since the fall of the Soviet Union is used to test the hypothesis of convergence between their institutional systems. The study shows that there are some tendencies toward negative convergence. Political leaders tend to place similar relative emphasis on such issues as power, trust, liberalism and the market, among others. Two elements of the context, namely the events of September 11, 2001 and the October 2008 financial crisis, served to strengthen the negative convergence.

Abstract The second presentation will cover integrating qualitative and quantitative content analysis for addressing 'why' and 'how' as well as 'what' questions relating to monitoring and assessing interim and instrumental outcomes achieved or not achieved in public health initiatives and programs. Steps for developing meaningful scoring systems for synthesizing the review of multiple types of documents will be described. Examples will be given from global health engagement projects with the development or strengthening of partnerships as a key objective. Using document review as a management tool in integrating strategic planning, monitoring, and evaluation will be discussed, as a way of assessing the gaps between planning and evaluation and strengthening their relationship.

Populist Party

The issue of the relationship between pirate parties and populism has not yet been adequately resolved. This article aims to answer this question: Regarding its communication, is it possible to classify the Czech Pirate Party as a populist party? For that purpose, the Pirates’ communication has been contextualized in a comparative perspective with the Czech parties ANO and SPD, which are commonly considered populist. The study uses qualitative and quantitative content analysis and the principle of triplets to measure populism. Among other things, the analysis indicates that the level of populism in the communication of the Pirates is negligible and the party cannot be identified as populist. Moreover, the anti-establishment appeal does not prevail in the communication either. In this respect, however, the communication of the Pirates has significantly changed after entering the Parliament.

Turkey is among the countries affected by the COVID-19. In this study, the uses of Twitter and the levels of informing the public of COVID-19 Science Committee Members in Turkey were examined. In this process, it was thought that the public needed more information about the epidemic. In this study, 10 COVID-19 Science Committee Members were determined by drawing lots. Their tweets on Twitter were investigated using both qualitative and quantitative content analysis methods. These tweets were analyzed within the categories determined according to content analysis. This study found that the Twitter posts of members of the scientific committee were important in informing the public.
