Document Summary

Unit 14: preparation of quantitative data for coding and analysis. Method of conceptualizing research data and classifying them into meaningful and relevant categories for the participants in the study. A number is assigned to the category which is called the code. Coding of quantitative data should be carried out at the end of the data collection period, once all the codes have been finalized. If previous knowledge was used to construct response categories before the instrument was administered to respondents then it is called deductive coding. When there is no previous knowledge it is called inductive coding. Basic rules for the development of the coding scheme (coding frame) for quantitative data are that the codes must be mutually exclusive and must be applied constantly. Allocated for each question, each box can only contain 1 number. Used if the investigator doesn"t want to clutter the questionnaire with numerical codes and coding boxes.
