Minutes of the 1st group meeting

 

 

Present: Manca Krt, Petra Vučko, Helena Debeljak, Urška Humar

Absent: Maruška Podbevšek (but she cooperated on the wiki)

 

Agenda:

1. Changing or narrowing our problem

2. Research questions

 

Item 1:

We got the suggestion from our english teacher to narrow our problem, therefore Petra proposed that we could focus on the problem of waiting lines at doctors. However, by contacting our subject teacher Blanka Tivadar by e-mail, we got the suggestion not to do it.

Decision: Our problem is staying the same, without narrowing it.

 

Item 2:

We already have 10 research questions, therefore we have decided that everyone will interview 3 students, and by the suggestion of our subject teacher compare them with Parson's sick role.

 

The next meeting will be held on Thusday, 14 November at 2 PM at Šumi.

Agenda:

1. Discussing about task distribution

2. Searching the literature

 

 

Item 1:

We were discussing about who will do what. Manca and Petra have already constructed 10 research questions and all of us five have to interview 3 students, then analyse the answers and compare them with the concept of Parson's sick role. Manca has already done also the theoretical concept for our report. Helena and Maruška will create the introduction and the conclusion.

 

Item 2:

About literature,our subject teacher Blanka Tivadar suggested us to use Maguire's article Parsons's sick role as basis for our theoretical concept. Sources for our research questions will be answers from interviews.

Minutes of the 3rd group meeting

 

held on 24 November, 2006 at 14.00 at FDV library

 

Present: Petra Vučko, Manca Krt, Helena Debeljak, Maruška Podbevšek, Urška Humar

 

Agenda:

1. Action-item follow-up

2. Changing the plan

3. Any other bussiness

 

Item 1:

All of us have interviewed 3 students and we have already started comparising the answers with Parsons's sick role.

 

Item 2:

However, Perta and Urška found out, that the answers are so many similar, that it would be absurdly to compare each answer with Parsons's sick role in a table. Petra suggested, that we could write one analysis for all the interviews and then compare general findings with the sick role. We all agreed with the suggestion and Petra recommended herself to try to do it.

Decision: Petra will try to analyse the answers, the others will check her findings and improve them if necessary.

 

Item 3:

The next meeting will be hold on 28 November, 2006 at 14.00 at Šumi.

Agenda:

Item 1:

Petra did the analysis of interviews and Manca did the comparison of our general findings with the Parsons's sick role. Petra also points out the problem about long waiting time at doctors and wrote few sentences connected to it. Helena wrote the introduction and Maruška wrote the conclusion.

Decision: we will send our product to our English teacher and subject teacher to get their opinion about it.

 

Item 2:

We have been discussing about who will present wich part of our report. Everyone chose one part. Helena will tell some words in order to introduct our presentation, Manca will continue with presenting the theoretical part which is Parsons's sick role, Petra will present the results of analysis, Urška will compare these results with theoretical concept and Maruška will finish our presentation.

Decision: Everyone will prepare some slides with key points, which will support our presentation.
