Doing qualitative analysis
12 important questions on Doing qualitative analysis
True/ false You only need to interpret the data during axial coding.
How you can you ensure inter-rater reliability?
What does reaching saturation mean when applying open coding?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
When have you reached saturation when applying axial coding?
What are functions of open coding?
What are functions of axial coding?
What does it mean to find patterns in your data?
What is the function of selective coding?
Think of different activities within selective coding
·determine important categories and possibly a core category
·formulate the theoretical model
·reassemble the data in order to answer the research question and to realize the research aim.
What are necessary elements for the core category?
·The core category describes and explains the researchers observation.
·a lot of other categories are linked to it
·the category accounts for a large portion of the variation in the behavior in data.
·it appears frequently in the data
· it makes it easier to fit the puzzle together
Which guidelines can you use to decide which categories stand out in the data?
·data: what stands out in the data in terms of richness and the insights they have yielded?
· think of surprising results
·actuality: the results occasionally grow in value if they fit the actual context of societal and scientific debates or events.
True/ false Axial coding starts when open coding ends.
