  2. Live Learn Experience Interpreting and Analyzing • Interpretation: Identifying key concepts. • Step 1 • Distilling the data • Categorizing and coding • Review the collected data • Unitizing the data • Categorizing and coding • Identifying themes • Organizing category system • Developing a report

  3. Live Learn Experience Interpreting and Analyzing • Step 1 • Distilling the data • Analyzing key experiences • Identify key experiences • Identify Main features of each experience • Identify the elements that compose the experience • Identify themes.

  4. Live Learn Experience Interpreting and Analyzing Example of analyzing experiences Facilitating workshops I remember the anxiety that used to sit in the pit of my stomach as I watched my colleagues commence a workshop, my mind racing with details of what needed to happen and the “what ifs” that haunted me. My organizational mind was constantly working on plans to institute if things failed to eventuate as they were intended. It was something that nagged me and caused me many sleepless nights.

  5. Live Learn Experience Interpreting and Analyzing Cont… I eventually learned that the start of a workshop was always likely to be a bit “lumpy” and that, provided facilitators were well prepared and flexible enough to accommodate the needs and capabilities of participants, we would almost always accomplish our goals. So now I can watch my colleagues facilitating and appreciate the careful planning that has occurred and sit proudly as they work.

  9. Live Learn Experience Interpreting and Analyzing • Step 2 • Enriching the analysis • Extending understanding frameworks for interpretation. • Alternative 1. Interpretive questions: Why, what, how, who, where, when. • Alternative 2 Organizational review. Vision & Mission, Goals and objectives, Structure, Operation, Problems and Issues. • Alternative 3. Concept Mapping. • Alternative 4. Problem Analysis. Antecedents and Consequences. • The core problem, Major antecedents to the problem, Other significant factors related to those antecedents, Major negative consequences, Other significant consequences

  10. Live Learn Experience Organizing Research Report • Section 1: Focus and framing • Identify the problem or issue on which the research focuses, describe context in which occurs, the question requiring a solution and the objective of the study. • Section 2: Preliminary literature • This section summarizes published research related to the issue, identifying the outcomes, perspectives, theoretical assumptions and gaps in the existing literature. • Section 3: Methodology • This section describes the processes and philosophical assumptions of action research. It provides details of research procedures, including choice of participants (sampling), data gathering, data analysis and reporting processes. It also describes procedures for ensuring rigorous and ethical research practices.

  11. Live Learn Experience Organizing Research Report • Section 4: Outcomes/ Findings • This section presents detailed accounts that provide and empathetic understanding of how participants experience and interpret the issue investigated. It also describes the steps taken by participants to resolve the problem studied and the outcomes of those activities and events. • Section 5: Conclusion • This section compares and contrasts the participant perspectives with those in the research literature. It also presents implications of the study for policies, professional practices and future research.
