Concept Maps
Concept maps are a visual representation of some knowledge related to a domain. Unlike brain storming, mind mapping, advanced organizers, or associative card stacking, concept maps are based under a propositional representation of knowledge that implicitly argues that mental representations are mutable, demonstrative, and measurable. Some researchers argue the basic levels of meaning are at the symbolic and propositional level of analysis walter kintsch.

History of Interviewing in the Qualitative Paradigm
It is important to remember the historical contexts in which interviewing in the qualitative paradigm are placed. Indeed this consideration is consistent with the social constructive processes believed to occur in the paradigm. Following the scientific revolution, four standards determined when some body of observations were considered scientific or non-science: replication, validation, generalizability, and falisifiability. Several authors describes the fundamental argument of epistemology within the sciences. Indeed one author asks, "Is there anything new in psychology"; referring to the observation research trends can be somewhat cyclic, bandwagon, or just renamed phenomena from previous findings. Ultimately, some researchers state there are persistent juxtapositions of the primary evidence used to gather information that can be considered useful for inference Traditionally, social scientists couch their data in empirical, positivistic, and quantitative approaches. Within psychological science, the Chicago School (1890's - 1930's) saw quantitative absolutism as unsociological.

The qualitative paradigm followed the humanistic movement, and later garnered support from the feminism movement.

Recently, there are growing interests in mixed methods which include interviews as a source of information.

To that end, T. Kuhn (1962)--The structure of scientific revolutions. This source argues for a social construction of knowledge; in particular the paradigm shift. As a consequence it stands that positivistic arguments lack timelessness of validity.

Following the scientific revolution, four standards determined when some body of observations were considered scientific or non-science: replication, validation, generalizability, and falisifiability.

Reflexicivity journal aspects need to include: field notes prior to and following the interview; then contextual, source, and event information; it also helps to do a rapport check following the interviews.
