  1. Analysing Qualitative Data Dr. Michael Agnew & Dr. Cherie Woolmer MacPherson Institute

  2. Analyzing qualitative data • Grounded Theory: used in the social sciences (both in qualitative and quantitative research) to generate theory from a deep and rigorous analysis of the data • Structured Coding: will typically begin with a list of codes or keywords according to the aims of the research/questions being asked • Descriptive/Open Coding: codes generated only as one reads through and analyzes the data, looking for common emerging themes

  3. Thematic Analysis Bryman (2004/2008) suggests: Stage 1: Readingthetextas a whole Stage 2: Reading and markingthetext (emergingkeywords/codes) Stage 3: Codingthetext and groupingthecodestothemes Stage 4: Relatingthemestotheliterature/theory Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X7VuQxPfpk&t=17s https://youtu.be/B_YXR9kp1_o

  6. Analyzing large quantity of data (Nvivo)

  7. Ensuring rigour through analysis • Notion of trustworthiness rather than validity and reliability (used in quantitative studies) • Know the data – listen, read, and re-read • Iterative process- how do codes link with literature and your research questions? • Be explicit about your own biases (positionality) and how these effect your interpretation • Cross-check themes with others analyzing the same data
