    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.
