    The document discusses qualitative data analysis and provides an overview of its key aspects in 5 sections. Section I introduces qualitative analysis and notes that it involves collection and analysis occurring simultaneously with no systematic rules. Section II outlines styles of analysis including quasi-statistical, template, and editing analysis. Section III details the qualitative analysis process including developing categorization schemes and coding data. Section IV discusses computer programs for managing qualitative data. Finally, Section V notes the analytic procedures involve searching for themes and grounded theory analysis using open, axial, and selective coding.

    The key takeaways are that qualitative data analysis provides organization to large amounts of unstructured data but there are no systematic rules and it is difficult to synthesize into a report.

    The different styles of qualitative data analysis are quasi-statistical analysis, template analysis, editing analysis, and immersion/crystallization.

    The steps in the qualitative analysis process are developing a categorization scheme, coding qualitative data, and analytic procedures such as searching for themes and grounded theory analysis.

    Chapter 16-Qualitative Data Analysis

    I. Introduction

    a. Purpose-provide organization to a large set of data

    b. Quantitative-data collected first, then analyzed; qualitative-collection and

    analysis occur simultaneously

    c. No systematic rules

    d. No well-defined/universally accepted procedures

    e. Lots of work and time

    f. Difficult to synthesize into a report

    II. Styles

    a. Quasi-statistical analysis, sometimes called manifest content analysis-

    search for themes that have been specified in a codebook, can be

    manipulated statistically

    b. Template analysis style-analysis guide

    c. Editing analysis style-develops categorization scheme, searches for

    patterns

    d. Immersion/crystallization-total reflection and immersion in data, highly

    interpretive and subjective

    III. Qualitative Analysis Process

    a. Developing categorization scheme

    i. Develop method to classify and index the materials

    ii. Sometimes categories decided on before data collection; usually

    after data collection

    1
    iii. Studies designed to develop theory develop abstract categories

    iv. Constant comparison-breaking data into segments, examining and

    comparing to other segments of data. Tool in grounded theory.

    b. Coding qualitative data

    i. After categories developed, data is reviewed and assigned to

    categories-coding

    ii. Categories may then be revised

    iii. Some data may fit in more than one category

    c. Manual methods of organizing qualitative data

    i. Color paper clips

    ii. Pot-it not

    iii. Conceptual files-but out topics and file

    iv. Sort cards or McBee cards for indexing data

    IV. Computer Programs for Managing Qualitative Data

    a. Ethnograph

    b. Less chance that data will be overlooked

    c. Computer does not code the data

    V. Analytic Procedures

    a. First, a search for themes

    b. Grounded Theory Analysis-used to generate theory from data

    i. Open coding or level I coding-development of categorization

    scheme

    2
    ii. Axial coding or level II coding-puts the data together in new says-

    constant comparison may be used-insights and feelings of the

    researcher recorded in memos

    iii. Selective coding or level III coding-identifying and integrating

    relationships between categories
