| Summary: | Some methodological observations during a process of measuring the “experienced” life-conceptual identity of an educational institution A project was launched by means of which it was hoped to establish to what extent the academic staff of a Faculty of Education at a South African university succeeded in actually living and experiencing the beliefs contained in their shared reformational view of life. This article is, however, neither a systematic report on the project itself nor of its findings. It rather focuses on some of the methodological problems that were encountered in the researchers’ efforts to apply quantitative research procedures to measuring a life-concept as a theoretical construct. It is concluded that such procedures should be augmented with qualitative research methods. Several other methodological measures are recommended for increasing the chances of success in a project of this nature. |
