PAR - [ii]

Salam and greeting to all.

This is my second post about PAR. Once a week, I took about two days to perform PAR in construction site.

Second PAR was held on 6th December 2012.On this day, I looked at the staff who not so busy and try to approach them to ask some question. I managed to interview Miss Aimi Liyana the QS officer. Glad to know that Aimi has the same age with me. She was from the university-mates as well. How's wonderful plan? Relieved. I also noticed that she was the same batch with me in Perak's and Shah Alam's. Just that, I graduated one semester advance from her.

I also managed to asked a few staff regarding their roles. Mr.Shahnaz, the QA/QC Executive who responsibility on documentation, planning and engineering gave me the 2 files about the the project plan and quality control manual.

Relieved.

Hope to find another output for the next session!

Till then :)

PAR - [i]

Salam and greeting to everyone.

Alhamdulillah, PAR had successfully done for the first time at KLIA II.

Yay me!!! :)

I was nervous and not so confident at first. But Alhamdulillah, I felt like I got the inner strength (given by Allah, surely) to gone through with PAR.

Here the stories.

29th November 2012,

This is my third times drive to KLIA. The first time with Laila- to show me the direction. The second time with Abah- accompany me to meet the Project Manager. (Previous Post). I arrived at 10.30 am in front of the main gate of construction site. But I need to wait for the PM to pick me up since it is not appropiate for car to enter. The road was holey and crutch and still under construction. 

So, this was the view in front of the main gate. There were two men sitting in front of the gate to clean out the tires for car, lorry and truck before they passing the road.

Tips and Challenges Day 1 :

1. Communication skill
2. Planned your approach before Acting. List down your approach before entering the site
3. Observation may be suitable for the first time
4. Get to know the environment and try to adapt it as fast as possible
5. Understand the organization structure (Refer to organization chart is the most easiest way)
6. Internet connection (to find sources and become your 'friend')
7. Do not interrupt the existing staff because they may not like it. Let they be themselves. It is more realistic.
8. Identifying their problems and list down.
9. BE CALM
10. BE COOL

PAR [Intro] - Met the Project Manager

On 22nd November 2012, I went to see the Project Manager for construction project of KLIA II in Sepang. The purpose of thus meeting to inform him about the research study and to get permission from him to stay at his office in doing PAR methodology.

We went for lunch at Concorde Inn.

Alhamdulillah, he agreed to allow me to stay at his office and doing my research.

Now, the next stage is to get prepare the idea to cope with the staff there.

That's all. See yaa!!!

Where A and C talked differently, B getting confused?

Some researchers of PAR said that PAR is such a method that empowering the participant to participate in the research process instead of researcher doing a research about them.

Some researchers of PAR said that they did not found any relevant of participants to participate in the research process unless gave them such uncomfortable with the dual role of researchers.

While me -the beginner of PAR, is confused in the middle.
