11) pol 3370 a - qualitative analysis in ps - miriam levitt - 11 oct. 24. Ql data analysis: beginning analysis during data collection approach from other forms of positivist research. Data collection & analysis should be a simultaneous process distinguishes this. The researcher may not know ahead of time every person who might be interviewed, all the questions that might be asked, or where to look unless data are analysed as they are being collected. W/o ongoing analysis, the data can be unfocused, repetitious, & overwhelming due to the volume of material that needs to be processed thus the term drowning in data . Data that have been analysed while being collected are more likely to be both. The process of data collection & analysis is recursive & dynamic. Analysis becomes more intensive as the study progresses & once all the data is in.
