Study Notes
- The text discusses strategies for qualitative data analysis, specificallyfocusing on Grounded Theory and coding.
- Grounded Theory is an inductive, iterative process for systematically gathering and analyzing data.
- The process involves coding and constant comparison to identify concepts, categories, properties, hypotheses, and theory.
- Grounded Theory can result in substantive and formal theory.
- Memos are used to aid in conceptual and theoretical reflection.
- Criticisms of Grounded Theory include the potential for vague differences between concepts and categories, and observation and data gathering not being completely theory neutral.
- Primary qualitative data collection methods include ethnography, participant observation, qualitative interviewing, focus groups, discourse analysis, and analysis of texts and documents.
- Miles and Huberman suggest there are three concurrent flows of action in all qualitative data analysis: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification.
- Loftland's coding scheme for social phenomena includes acts, activities, meanings, participation, relationships, and settings.
- Coding involves questions about the datum's category, representation, meaning, and implications.
- Steps and considerations in coding include coding and transcribing as soon as possible, reviewing codes, and keeping coding in perspective.
- Computers can be used to sort data once codes are defined.
- There are three levels of coding: the basic question, focused on content and research interest, and the final interpretation.
