00:00:13 Introduction to research methodology in translation studies, covering qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods. Choosing a suitable method depends on the topic and objectives of the study.
🔍 This video provides an overview of the research methodology used in translation studies.
📊 The three basic research designs identified are qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods.
🔬 The choice of research design depends on factors such as the subject of study and the purpose of the research.
00:03:14 This video discusses the methodology of research in translation studies, including setting objectives, selecting theoretical frameworks and analysis methods, choosing analysis instruments, and considering the researcher's background. The video also highlights the importance of considering the target audience and their orientation towards research methods.
The researcher needs to set the general and specific objectives of the study, select the theoretical framework and analysis method.
Different analysis instruments can be used depending on the qualitative or quantitative approach of the study.
The researcher's background and experience, as well as the target audience of the research, also play a role in determining the research design.
00:06:16 Investigation designs in translation studies can be qualitative, quantitative, or mixed. Initially, qualitative designs were common, but as the field matured, empirical and quantitative approaches were adopted. Four types of qualitative designs are identified.
🎓 Different types of research designs in translation studies: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods.
🔎 Historically, translation studies began with qualitative designs based on analysis and introspection.
💡 As translation studies developed, empirical approaches like quantitative and mixed methods became more common.
00:09:17 This video discusses a research methodology used in the field of translation studies. It explores various techniques for data collection and different types of research designs. The focus is on improving translation education and professional practice.
📚 This video discusses the research methodology used in translation studies.
🔎 The methodology involves different techniques for data collection, such as field notes, interviews, and questionnaires.
📊 Qualitative designs are common in translation research and often combine qualitative and quantitative approaches.
00:12:18 The video discusses different methodologies used in translation studies, including introspection techniques and quantitative designs. It emphasizes the importance of using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches for a comprehensive understanding.
🔎 The transcription discusses different techniques used in translation studies, including introspection, dialogue protocols, and retrospective analysis.
📊 The video emphasizes the importance of combining quantitative and qualitative methods in translation research due to the complex nature of translation as a human and social science.
📝 The three types of design discussed in the video are survey-based designs, corpus-based designs, and experimental designs.
00:15:20 This video discusses different methodologies used in translation studies, including surveys, corpus-based analysis, and experimental designs.
📊 Surveys are used to obtain specific information about attitudes, opinions, and behavior in the field of translation studies.
🔍 Corpus-based designs focus on analyzing real translation texts to study the translation process and can utilize tools for concordance and context analysis.
🔬 Experimental designs aim to analyze the translation process by examining the relationship between translation behavior, translational knowledge, and cognitive effort.
00:18:22 Introduction to research methodology in translation studies and the various methods of analysis used in experimental studies. Includes discussion on instruments such as eye trackers, voice recorders, and neurological scans.
✅ Experimental studies in translation research involve factors such as subject knowledge and previous translation experience.
🔬 Various tools can be used for data collection, including eye movement readers, voice and keyboard recording programs, and neurological exploration methods.
📚 There are no inherently good or bad research methods, only appropriate or inappropriate methods for a specific study.
