Survey research design

The children to better understand and access to ih-ing to get. The aim of this investigation is, in addition to the identification and clarification of the biographical and psycho-social situation of former child soldiers in the war both perpetrators and victims were also the current relief efforts for the processing of their trauma-related kriegsbe display. This work makes the task of the life course of former child soldiers to show their current living situation to be writing and an insight into their future life to be determined. To this end, I begin by developing themes and a point-based Inter-viewleitfaden created Survey research design. The creation of targeted areas in the interview guide allows for-schungsrelevante topics in the interview to structure and to install, so are unimportant aspects of a priori excluded. The topics should logically build on one another. The evaluation process is through the themes of the interviews facilitated amend as directly relevant to research topics may be used. The first interview partners are former child soldiers in Sierra Leone. They have participated in acts of war and are located at the time of the interview in the care of the organization Caritas Makeni in Sierra Leone. The second interview partners are professional workers in Sierra Leone, whose dedication and experience on the ground are analyzed.

Data processing

Evaluation method based on all evaluation work is the case analysis. It is based on fully transcribed interviews. For the evaluation process is the crucial Vorinterpretation of the researcher, as this interpretation of the framework is. The text is set with keywords highlighted in the guide. They are inductive theory and concepts, and with the new thematic aspects from the descriptions of the interviewees characterized. These marks can also form the basis of developing a Codierrasters for building a text database. Then follow the methodological commentaries, dealing with the manner of communication and on the impact of interventions addressing interview. This is a requirement for "controlled interpretation." Then follows the data preparation, carefully interpreted comparing individual interviews, and if possible all relevant aspects of the issue date (Witzel 1985, Witzel 2000). The case analysis consists of the case presentation of a biographical chronology. It makes the researcher or the artist familiar with the individual, so that in a further analysis, for example, a biographical history can be portrayed. In the case of evaluation are not only a commentary by the researcher about the present interview material, but also the specifics of the case and interpretive uncertainties listed. I will at a later date, to enter into the text interpretation. 3.3 Procedure in the work for the preparation of this work I took a research trip to Sierra Leone 1 un-ternommen to spot the project "Rehabilitation and reintegration of child soldiers and the war traumatized children - Let the Kindersol data back their childhood" in the diocese of Makeni and know my empiri-cal research on the work with former child soldiers carry. In this project are former child soldiers cared. I have trusted with 1 Information on Sierra Leone are in the Notes.
(progressive extraction and examination of data processing) and the development of an understanding process (communicative exchanges in the interview) [Witzel 2000]. For detailed edits, I would include Witzel 2000, trowel the 1996th The approach of the researcher: In the beginning, the problem area, then the respondents to the story and suggested using mirrors and back with the help of understanding issues in a tight spot to detail "brought. Then used the guide to all topics of interest: "The questions are spontaneous, and taking into account the language and style to link to the interview asked" (Lamnek 1989, p. 100). In other words, the problem-interview the respondents the opportunity to generate their own perspective to the question presented or to be developed. The researcher takes up not only on knowledge of the respondents from the given Schiler-back requirements, but also on theoretical assumptions, as the questions are formulated. Characteristic of this approach is the following: First, the Ge-sprächseröffnung to start a general question, but not un-conditionally already on narrative 'needs to be aligned, such as telling you just how life in your family had before the war has broken out. Secondly, the general soundings require the immediate details of the goal and serve as a style and structuring support for respondents, such as "When and how you are separated from their families have been?". And thirdly, the specific soundings an understanding function. The aim of the research has already been said to summarize thus reflected back and can confirm or correct, understanding questions to conflicting answers to clarify and respondents directly confronted with contradictory statements. This will re-arrange flexionsprozesse. Important to note is, in general, that a pleasant conversation and the atmosphere prevailing interest content will be clarified. Furthermore, the opportunity to ad hoc questions to ask when the business conversation does not continue (Mey, 2000, p. 142f, in: Social meaning 1st p. 135-151).
