(IMAESCII521) Quantitative Research Paper Summary 3: Lifewide learning in the city and big data

This is the last of the eight (8) research papers I reviewed for this assignment. I wish there were more quantitative papers in the reading list. For some reasons, I became interested in doing mixed methods research after reading quantitative papers.

Initial thoughts on the paper:

This was one of the first papers I reviewed. Particularly because the researchers were from the University of Glasgow School of Education. I think this is a seminal read for those keen on doing quantitative research on lifelong learning. This is in fact one of my reference materials for my initial reading for my dissertation.
