General guidelines
· The response to questions 2 and 3 must be between 1200 and 1600 words, and to
question 3 between 600 – 800 words. The word count is a guideline and not an exact
prescription.
· It is compulsory to use and reference the prescribed resources (the resources in the
module Units). You are also encouraged to use other sources which must also be
referenced.
· The requirement of authenticity is important in the light of ease with which work
could be copied and paraphrased, and in the light of the use of AI. The authenticity of
your work transpires from the following aspects:
o Method section
o Engagement with and referencing of resources.
o Contextualisation. This refers to the way you draw on your own experiences to relate
the issues to a context you are familiar with. This does not mean that you write from
your experiences, but that you engage critically with these experiences in the light of the
texts. You are encouraged to use the first person to refer to your own insights, context
and experiences.
o Your own formulations that reflect an own understanding. Do not use concepts
without explaining their meaning or overly complex sentences.
· It is compulsory to include a method section in each essay as previously explained.
A detailed methods section containing the following:
o An explanation of how you did the research and what you read in preparation for the
assignment.
o An explanation of how you searched and used resources.
o A detailed explanation is needed if generative AI is used.
o A detailed explanation if paraphrasing software is used.
Further written guidelines will be provided in a separate document.

Explanation of Content Analysis (600 words):
Content analysis is a systematic research method used to analyze textual or visual data
to extract meaningful insights, patterns, and themes from the content. In the context of
your study of schoolteachers' experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic, content
analysis will be a valuable tool to extract, organize, and interpret the data collected from
in-depth interviews.
Steps in Conducting Content Analysis:
1. Data Preparation:
• The initial step involves preparing the raw data for analysis. In your case, this
would involve transcribing the interviews if they are recorded in audio format. It's
essential to ensure the text data is accurate and ready for coding and
interpretation. Each interview should be treated as a separate document,
maintaining their individuality.
• Example: If one of your interviews included the following excerpt: "Teaching
online was a significant challenge. It was hard to gauge students' understanding
without face-to-face interaction," this would be one segment of your data.
