This article challenges the assumptions behind this dominance. Using exemplification... Read More about 'That's not quite the way we see it': the epistemological challenge of visual data.

Comparing Analysis Frames for Visual Data Sets: Using Pupil Views Templates to explore perspectives of learning (2013)
Journal Article
Wall, K., Higgins, S., Remedios, R., Rafferty, V., & Tiplady, L. (2013). Comparing Analysis Frames for Visual Data Sets: Using Pupil Views Templates to explore perspectives of learning. Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 7(1), 22-42. https://doi.org/10.1177/1558689812450211

A key challenge of visual methodology is how to combine large-scale qualitative data sets with epistemologically acceptable and rigorous analysis techniques. The authors argue that a pragmatic approach drawing on ideas from mixed methods is helpful t...
