Abstract

ABSTRACTThe flexibility of the Delphi Technique has enabled its application across a wide range of fields to facilitate problem solving, decision-making and consensus-building. However, flexibility brings with it a corresponding lack of detailed methodological guidelines, and the rigour of Delphi studies has been questioned. This paper presents a recent study investigating global competence in Japan to demonstrate how Q-methodology can be integrated into a Delphi study to improve rigour. Using Q-methodology helps to mitigate potential problems associated with (a) consensus parameters and focus, (b) panel retention rates, and (c) feedback design.KEYWORDS: Delphi TechniqueQ-methodologymixed methods researchglobal competenceJapan AcknowledgementsThe author is grateful to Phil Benson for his advice on aspects of the development of the study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science: [Grant Number 19K00840].

结合q -方法学提高德尔菲研究的严谨性

摘要德尔菲技术的灵活性使其应用于广泛的领域，以促进问题的解决，决策和共识的建立。然而，灵活性带来了相应的缺乏详细的方法指南，德尔菲研究的严谨性受到质疑。本文介绍了最近的一项研究，调查了日本的全球竞争力，以展示如何将q方法整合到德尔菲研究中以提高严谨性。使用q -方法论有助于减轻与以下方面相关的潜在问题:(a)共识参数和焦点，(b)小组保留率，以及(c)反馈设计。关键词:德尔菲法——方法学——混合方法研究——全球竞争力——日本致谢作者感谢Phil Benson在研究发展的各个方面提出的建议。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究由日本科学促进会资助:[批准号:19K00840]。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Research & Method in Education is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that draws contributions from a wide community of international researchers. Contributions are expected to develop and further international discourse in educational research with a particular focus on method and methodological issues. The journal welcomes papers engaging with methods from within a qualitative or quantitative framework, or from frameworks which cut across and or challenge this duality. Papers should not solely focus on the practice of education; there must be a contribution to methodology. International Journal of Research & Method in Education is committed to publishing scholarly research that discusses conceptual, theoretical and methodological issues, provides evidence, support for or informed critique of unusual or new methodologies within educational research and provides innovative, new perspectives and examinations of key research findings. The journal’s enthusiasm to foster debate is also recognised in a keenness to include engaged, thought-provoking response papers to previously published articles. The journal is also interested in papers that discuss issues in the teaching of research methods for educational researchers. Contributors to International Journal of Research & Method in Education should take care to communicate their findings or arguments in a succinct, accessible manner to an international readership of researchers, policy-makers and practitioners from a range of disciplines including but not limited to philosophy, sociology, economics, psychology, and history of education. The Co-Editors welcome suggested topics for future Special Issues. Initial ideas should be discussed by email with the Co-Editors before a formal proposal is submitted for consideration.
