To be more concrete, Q method aims to identify homogeneous latent clusters of viewpoints towards a certain topic from a larger more heterogeneous set of (a priori unknown) different viewpoints held by respondents in the population. For this purpose, study participants are asked to sort qualitative statements concerning a certain topic (e.g., their beliefs toward something) into a grid roughly following a normal distribution indicating whether they agree or disagree with the given propositions. This results in a so-called Q-sort for each participant that then can be fed into a factor analysis that compares the different Q-sorts and groups them by similarity. In the first part of the chapter, Q method is introduced. The second part of the chapter describes a small study focusing on student teachers and their perspectives concerning upcoming long-term school internships."}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2210-5549"],"eissn":["2210-5557"],"isbn":["978-3-031-08517-8"],"eisbn":["978-3-031-08518-5"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"bibtex":"@inbook{Leidig_Köhler_Caruso_Goller_2022, place={Cham}, series={Professional and Practice-based Learning}, title={Q Method: Assessing Subjectivity Through Structured Ranking of Items}, volume={33}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-08518-5_20\">10.1007/978-3-031-08518-5_20</a>}, booktitle={ Methods for researching professional learning and development: Challenges, applications and empirical illustrations}, publisher={Springer }, author={Leidig, Susann and Köhler, Hanna and Caruso, Carina and Goller, Michael}, editor={Goller, Michael and Kyndt, Eva and Paloniemi, Susanna and Damşa , Crina}, year={2022}, pages={441–466}, collection={Professional and Practice-based Learning} }","short":"S.
