    How To Analyze A Qualitative Data?

    Uploaded by

    Kezia N. Aprilia
    This document provides guidance on analyzing qualitative data through a coding process. It outlines a 4-stage approach: 1) Read the full text and take initial notes; 2) Re-read while marking the text with codes, notes, and labels; 3) Systematically code the marked chunks of text; 4) Relate the codes to research questions and literature through interpretation. Coding involves linking representative chunks of text to phenomena or themes, rather than just counting instances. Thematic coding is recommended to group related concepts. Codes can be about events, activities, meanings, relationships, settings, and more.

    HOW TO ANALYZE A

    QUALITATIVE DATA?
    LEARNING OBJECTIVE

    By end of the session, students will be able to :


    • Apply coding/indexing/categorizing
    • Validity and reliability in qualitative research
    CODING/INDEXING/CATEGORIZING

    • It confusion because used in qualitative data where it means


    “putting number in answer”
    • Coding/indexing/categorizing  linking chunk of data (text)
    as representative of phenomenon
    • Not necessarily to COUNT them
    ANALYSIS STEPS

    STAGE 1
    • Read the text as a whole; make notes at the end
    • Look for what is is about
    • Major themes
    • Unusual issues, events, etc
    • Group cases into types or categories (may reflect research
    questions – e.g. male and female)
    STAGE 2 Read again
    • Mark the text (underline, circle, highlight)
    • Marginal notes/annotations
    • Labels for codes
    • Highlight key words
    • Note and analytic ideas suggested
    STAGE 3 Code the text
    • Systematically mark the text
    • Indicate what chunks of text are about – themes – index them
    • Review the codes
    • Eliminate repetition and similar codes (combines)
    • Thinks of grouping
    • May have lots of different codes (do not worry at early stages – can be
    reduced later)
    STAGE 4 Relate general theoretical ideas to the text
    • Coding is only part of analysis
    • You must add your interpretation
    • Identify significance for respondents
    • Interconnections between codes
    • Relations of codes to research questions and research literature
    CODING APPROACH  THEMATIC
    CODING
    HOW IS CODING DONE?
    Text Code
    In a village like this… Age contrast
    don’t seem to have much
    difficulty when they are out of work –
    a fortnight and they are back again – Young find work easily
    word of mouth, I’d say. It’s a different
    situation that I’m in – I just can’t cay
    “Oh I heard there is a job going on Contrast situation
    building site, I’ll go and have a go for it. I
    wouldn’t be able to do that
    APPLYING THE CODES TO THE
    DATA
    • Identify chunks of text to which code applies
    • Can be phrases, sentence, several sentences or even
    paragraphs
    • Codes passage may overlaps
    WHAT CAN CODES BE ABOUT?

    • Acts – usually brief events


    • Activities – of longer duration in setting, people involved
    • Meaning – what directs participant’s action
    • Participants – people involve or adaptation into a setting
    • Relationship – between people
    • Setting – the entire context of the events under study
    • Conditions
    • Interactions
    • Strategies and tactics
    • Consequences – what happens if ……
    WAYS TO IDENTIFY THEMES

    • Repetitions
    • Indigenous typologies (in vivo)
    • Metaphors and analogis
    • Similarities and differences
    • Linguistic connectors
    • Missing data (what is omitted)
