Longitudinal Research: My Journey with Indeemo in Researching Early Career Teachers
The experiences of newly qualified teachers (NQTs) during their first year in the classroom are pivotal. These early career teachers (ECTs) often face a unique set of challenges and opportunities that can significantly shape their professional journey. Recognising the importance of these formative experiences, our client embarked on a comprehensive longitudinal research project to delve into the realities faced by ECTs in their initial year of teaching. The following is a direct account of our customer who leveraged the capabilities of Indeemo to embark on this type of research.
As I sit down to reflect on my journey using Indeemo for my doctoral research into the lived experiences of early career teachers, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and excitement.
What began as a quest to understand the challenges and triumphs of new teachers has transformed into a thrilling adventure propelled by cutting-edge technology and boundless curiosity.
Imagine being able to track the journey of new teachers through the ups and downs of an entire school year, capturing their experiences in real time without the need for prolonged on-site observation.
Exploring the journey of new teachers through the course of a year is no small feat. Traditionally, research in this field has relied on one-off collections of data at specific points in time, offering mere snapshots of a much larger narrative. While valuable insights can certainly be gleaned from such approaches, they often fail to capture the nuances and complexities of the journey these educators undertake. But with Indeemo, I found myself breaking free from these constraints, embarking on a journey that no other researcher in the area had dared to undertake.
One of the most liberating aspects of using Indeemo was the ability to capture in-the-moment data without being confined to the walls of different schools for hours on end. Gone were the days of lengthy observation and painstaking note-taking. Instead, I found myself immersed in the rich tapestry of experiences shared by early career teachers, all from the comfort of my own workspace. Waiting with excitement as photos, videos and text appeared on my dashboard!
The AI function of Indeemo serves as my trusty research assistant, guiding me through the labyrinth of data with ease and precision. With its next-level intelligence, it helped me analyse information and gain a profound understanding of the journeys of these educators almost instantly. It was like having a virtual colleague who not only assisted in making sense of the data but also unearthed connections this included connections to other research and literature, enriching my own work in ways I never thought possible.

But perhaps the most exhilarating aspect of using Indeemo was the acceleration of the research process itself. In a field where time is of the essence, the ability to collect, analyse, and synthesise data in a matter of hours was nothing short of revolutionary. What once would have taken weeks or even months to accomplish was now achievable in a fraction of the time, allowing for faster dissemination of findings and potentially expediting the pace of change within educational contexts.
However, as with any journey, there were challenges along the way. Navigating the external hoops of academic writing and doctoral requirements often felt like a balancing act, requiring careful negotiation between the demands of academia and the realities of real-world application. While Indeemo provided me with instant insights into the journeys of early career teachers, and the ability to report my findings instantly the world of academia did not.
Yet, despite these challenges, my journey with Indeemo has been nothing short of transformative. It has not only reshaped the way I approach research but also deepened my understanding of the lived experiences of early career teachers in profound ways. As I continue on this path towards completing my doctorate, I am filled with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement for the possibilities that lie ahead.
My journey with Indeemo has been a testament to the power of technology in shaping the future of research. By enabling me to explore new frontiers and gain deeper insights into the journeys of early career teachers, it has opened doors to possibilities that were once unimaginable. So, here's to embracing the future and continuing to push the boundaries of knowledge in pursuit of a brighter tomorrow and a hope that the academic world embraces these too. Who wouldn’t want to report findings of a research project as soon as you have them? Would this not make the data more relevant and support instant impact of the findings?
