Led by Ninti One Senior Research team, the group undertook a review of their learning related to the process ofdeveloping and applying a cycle of PAR:Discuss ethical practice, review key pointsDevelop a research cycleIdentify an ideaWorkshop the idea and review the options (school attendance)Narrow the options down to develop one questionIdentify the researcher’s position (multiple roles as community member, leader, researcher)Define who or what the research is forFrame the questions to be used in the researchIdentify qualitative and quantitative aspectsDesign a survey tool.Once the review and role-play topic of ‘school attendance’ was chosen, the researchers proceeded to: Use the survey tool to interview each other Collate the data Discuss the results, identify trends Reflect on the quality of the questions and data Review and change the questions.The researchers reviewed common research terminology such as: Ethics Data Quantitative and qualitative Data collection Methodology.The researchers discussed terminology across languages, comparing concepts, meaning and translations. Theydemonstrated sound understanding of the process and application of a research cycle. They were able to engage indiscussion about ethics, with the special insight and skills of a bilingual team, across terminology and researchers’position. They demonstrated capacity to use their prior experience of research to work confidently across PARcycles.3.4.4 Development of further skills and individual assessmentOther opportunities for skills development occurred, including:Presentation at the Australasian Evaluation Society Conference, in SydneyMacDonnell Shire Council Ntaria Child Care data collectionMentoring of a new researcher for the Wurla Nyinta Community Perception surveyRegular updates on the project at Wurla Nyinta meetingsLocal Cultural Awareness Program (LCAP) evaluation applied at the request of the Ntaria hostsInitial consultations with Alyawarr community researchers regarding the CRC-REP Plant Business projectPresentation at the Futures Forum at Ntaria.The presentation at the Sydney Conference is summarised in Appendix 3. Descriptions of three of the otheractivities listed above are provided here:Data collection surveyNinti One agreed to undertake a survey about community use and quality of the crèche and give the data toMacDonnell Shire fee-free as a skills assessment. Mark Inkamala interviewed the local childcare provider, aMacDonnell Shire employee, about her request for a childcare survey. With the information Mark obtained, AnnaMarie Armstrong designed and wrote a survey, which was loaded onto the computer tablets. The survey collected30 Final Report: Strengthening Community Research in Remote Service Delivery at Ntaria
data from a relatively small population sample, as time and budget did not permit administration of an extrasurvey across 20% of the demographic. As a training exercise it demonstrated the depth of familiarity required towork with a client to obtain a research scope, then to write and administer a service-based survey, then to providedata back to the client.MentoringAnna Marie Armstrong mentored one new researcher, teaching how to conduct and then supervising some of thedata collection for the second research topic in this project, the Wurla Nyinta Community Perception survey. Thenew researcher was then able to assist in writing the survey and collecting the data for the childcare survey.Wurla Nyinta reportingAda Lechleitner and Mark Inkamala delivered oral reports to Wurla Nyinta on the progress, findings andrecommendations of the research each time the reference group met. Through this forum Ninti One was asked toprovide a scope and a quote for a community-based assessment of the first LCAP at Ntaria, funded by FaHCSIA.Ada, Mark, Anna Marie, Rachel and Dion all participated in the LCAP evaluation. The final report for the evaluationwas submitted in March 2012.The LCAP provided an opportunity to do an evaluation. This extended the skills of the research team, whoexperienced another way of influencing how remote service delivery is managed and monitored by thecommunity at Ntaria.Final Report: Strengthening Community Research in Remote Service Delivery at Ntaria 31
