Description
Summary:This study followed 14 young volunteers as they broadcast on community radio. It explored how learning occurs and how volunteering may structure this, and whether such learning has distinct characteristics from types of learning theorised in the literature. Methodology is discussed as something that should be evident throughout all aspects of the research, particularly in relation to developing research relationships and its effect on the researcher. Methods used were blogs and group interviews over a 3-month minimum period, designed to encourage participants to collect data, allay attrition and to remove the researcher from part of the data collection process.
