Document Summary
Iterative- evolving process that occurs alongside data collection. Inductive- analysis tends to work from what you have in your case to the general. Researcher centered- researcher influences the questions posed, design and analysis. Theoretical concepts= emerge from saturated categories and themes. Axial/thematic coding- previous coding is studied to develop highly refined themes. Focused coding- looks at level 1 codes and further focuses on the data. Initial coding- large quantities of raw data are focused and labeled. Codes- definition of a group of text directly describing quotes or phrases described by study participants. Categories- combination of codes that fit together. Combinations of different categories that are related. Organize data- transcribe, clean, anonymize text, label. Identify the framework: explanatory- research questions, exploratory- guided by data, structures, labels and defines data, plan for coding. Linked to post modern theory and to linguistics.
