The document outlines the role of the "Connector" in a literature circle discussion. The Connector is tasked with helping group members make connections between the research article being discussed and other articles or experiences. Some questions provided include asking about connections between the reading and members' own experiences as researchers, understanding of the research topic or methodology, and anything in the news. An example is given where the premise of one study about supervision perspectives is connected to how examining other populations could provide different insights. Individual variations but also commonalities among participants' experiences are noted, mirroring what has been found in other qualitative research interviews.

Cassandra Pofahl Qualitative Research Methods Role: C
The Connectors job is to help group members make connections
between this research article and other research articles that have been read. The Connector should think about how the text relates to his/her own experiences or the experiences of others as researchers. Also, the Connector can talk about how this selection is connected to other readings or similar topics that they have heard about. Here are some questions to begin discussing connections between the reading and the world outside. What has happened in your life as a researcher that is similar to some of the things that were experienced by this researcher or are happening to the participants? What connections to the research topic or methodology can you make based on your own experiences? What new thinking have you gained from the reading? How has your understanding of the topic and/or research changed? Does anything in the selection remind you of something in the news or something that you have read (research or non-research)? Some connections I have found between this reading and other people, places, experiences, events........ 1. The premise of the study made me think of some parallels we may see in our own studies. The investigation focused on the examination of an experience of good supervision from the perspective of supervisees. The author mentions that a different vision of good supervision could emerge if supervisors perspectives were also investigated. Im sure there would be some differences if we examined other populations affected in our own studies.
2. The author also mentioned that while commonalities were found
among participants, each trainee had some unique variations in their experience. I have found the same to be true in the interviews I have conducted for my study. There is a lot of value in both the similarities and differences of respondents in every qualitative study conducted.
