- CREATING
Characterizing

• Verbatim
• What the researcher thinks is important
• Data reduction
• Immersion in the data
Cutting

- Cutting data into meaningful


segments
- Different levels
- Different ways
- Underline key phrases (inchoate
sense) (Sandelowski, 1995)

Overcoming Coding

• Remind yourself with the research question


• Select and highlight themes
• Theorizing and arguing (informative, analytical,
and reflective)
Choosing to use (or not) computer
programs
Work enough with the data to know it extensively

Advantages Data Analysis Programs

-  ATLAS
Data sharing
 Ethnograph
- Managing large volumes
of text  HyperResearch

 Nvivo

 NUD-IST
Keeping logs and records during data
analysis

• Keep a list of codes and their meaning


• Enumeration (how many times a code appears)
• Analytical memos
