ItemQualitative Methods in Higher Education Policy Analysis: Using Interviews and Document Analysis(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-01) Owen, GregoryThis article (the third in a short series of works) focuses on the research development, design, and overall approach I utilized in addressing my dissertation research question which aimed to examine the history and experiences of Georgia Institute of Technology’s adoption of background check policy. The results of my study offer a documented experience for higher education policy makers and HR professionals at other universities to use as an analogous situation in order to formulate more informed decisions regarding the use or non-use of same or similar policy. In my research approach, my conceptual framework consisted of considering four important policy dimensions, including the normative, structural, constituentive, and technical dimensions. This framework served as a basis and focus, shaping my research process, informing the methodological design, and influencing the selection of data-collection instruments. Using four very specific research design questions, I conducted my research through the lens of the social constructivist adopting an interpretivist approach utilizing a qualitative policy analysis methodology which included the use of interviews and document analysis to address my research question.

ItemA Four-Dimensional Study of Background Check Policy in Higher Education(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-08) Owen, GregoryThis article is the second of a short series of works designed to articulate the results and research approach I utilized in my dissertation Analysis of Background Check Policy in Higher Education. In my first article, Evolution of Background Check Policy at Georgia Tech, I provided an overview of the context surrounding debates for and against background check policy in higher education, a summary of my literature review, and the results of the technical dimension (one of four dimensions) of my study’s conceptual framework. The majority of my data collection and analysis aligned with this technical dimension which consisted of understanding the planning, practice, implementation, and evaluation of Georgia Institute of Technology’s background check policy and program. Within this technical dimension I was able to provide a re-creation of the policy as a formal written document through interviewing relevant constituents and analyzing all its formal releases/revisions (June 2005, October 2007, November 2009, & May 2010). In this article, I articulate the results of my study within the remaining three dimensions of my conceptual framework. These three dimensions include first, the normative dimension which focuses on studying the beliefs, values, and ideologies that drive societies to seek improvement and change. Second, the structural dimension includes considering the governmental arrangements, institutional structure, systems, and processes that promulgate and support policies. Focus on this dimension included exploring/explaining the organizational structure of Georgia Institute of Technology as well as how the Institute’s background check policy was influenced and affected by related federal laws and University System of Georgia policy. Finally, the constituentive dimension includes considering theories of the networks, interest groups, providers or end users, and beneficiaries who influence, participate in, and benefit from the policymaking process.
