all about Qualitative data

1. Qualitative Data Analysis Process

2. Step 1. Organize and prepare the data for analysis In this way, gather all the data you have conducted with, either what data collection you have used.

3. Step 2. Read and look at all the data Analyze the data carefully, read them thoroughly. Familiarize your data. The analysis of qualitative data essentially begins with a process of “immersion” in the data. The aim of this phase is to become intimately familiar with your dataset’s content, and to begin to notice things that might be relevant to your research question. It involves reading and re-reading each data item.

4. Emic Transcription Etic Transcription “Before kasi.. nung ako .. Ang ginagamit ko ay yung mga apps sa computer na pwede kong ituro to my pupils.. para matuto sila dun sa tinuturo ko tsaka ano rin , yun bang mamonitor ko yung way nila ng pag aaral .” “I use online applications to teach my students and assess their gained knowledge and skills on the day’s lesson.”

5. Step 3. Start coding all of the data. Coding is the process of organizing the data by bracketing chunks (or text/ image segments) and writing a word representing a category on the margins (Rossman & Rallis, 2012) Involves taking data or pictures gathered during data collection, segmenting sentences/ paragraphs, or images to categories, and labelling those categories in to a term. Code by choosing essential section of qualitative research participant’s responses or images taken by the researchers

6. Code – a qualitative inquiry is most often a word or short phrase that symbolically assigns a summative, salient, essence-capturing, and /or evocative attribute for a portion of language-based or visual data. For example: Transcription: “I notice that the grand majority of home have chain link fences in front of them. There are many dogs (mostly German shepherds) with signs on fences that say ‘Beware of the dog’.” Code: Security

7. Transcription: “He’s always been there for me, even when my parents were not. He’s one of the few things that I hold as a constant in my life. So, it’s nice.” Code: Stability

8. Transcription: “I saw how dedicated she was to her students. She would spend hours working on lesson plans and grading papers, however, at the end of the day, it was all worth it. Code: Role model

9. Transcription: “Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated with being a teacher.” Code: Childhood fascination

10. How many codes? Expect to generate a lot of codes depending on the limit of analyses preferred by the qualitative researcher. Unit of analysis: line by line, sentence by sentence, OR paragraph by paragraph.

11. Step 4. Generate a description and themes. Description involves a detailed reading of information about places, people, or events in a setting. Step 5. Representing the description & themes. The most popular approach is to use a narrative passage to convey the findings of the analysis.
