    Study Notes

    • The text discusses strategies and methods used in qualitative data analysis, specifically focusing on grounded theory and coding.
    • Grounded theory is an inductive approach that involves systematically gathering data, analyzing it, and developing a theory based on the findings.
    • Strategies in grounded theory include coding, constant comparison, theoretical saturation, and developing concepts, categories, properties, hypotheses, and theories.
    • Coding involves labeling issues or activities that can be grouped together, and it starts in the early stages of research.
    • Types of coding include open, axial, and selective coding. Open coding identifies initial concepts, axial coding reviews data for linkages and re-organizes according to those connections, and selective coding validates relationships and identifies gaps.
    • Grounded theory has outcomes such as concepts, categories, properties, hypotheses, substantive theory, and formal theory.
    • Memos are used in grounded theory to provide reminders and aid in conceptual and theoretical reflection.
    • Criticisms of grounded theory include differences between concepts and categories, observation and data gathering not being as 'theory neutral' as claimed, practical difficulties, and it may not result in theory.
    • Primary qualitative data collection methods include ethnography and participant observation, qualitative interviewing, focus groups, discourse and conversation analysis, and analysis of texts and documents.
    • Miles and Huberman suggest three concurrent flows of action in all qualitative data analysis: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification.
    • Coding involves asking questions about the data, and codes can be used to label different aspects of the subjects of study.
    • Loftland devised six classes on which to plan a coding scheme for 'social phenomena': acts, activities, meanings, participation, relationships, and settings.
    • Coding involves reading through data, considering general theoretical ideas, and keeping coding in perspective, while also dealing with the written data sorting, and three levels of coding.
