    Qualitative Data Analysis

    Qualitative data analysis is the process of


    describing and interpreting the collected
    information through the use of words. It
    relies on the researcher’s understanding
    and explanation of the obtained results. It
    aims at providing a detailed description of
    the studied issue.
    Procedures of Qualitative Analysis

    Qualitative data analysis involves the use of


    various procedures depending on the nature
    of the gathered information and research
    objectives. Among these techniques, one
    can list: qualitative content analysis and
    discourse analysis.
    Procedures of Qualitative Analysis

    Qualitative content analysis refers to the interpretation


    of the content of the data collected from texts or
    responses to open-ended questions. It helps to
    analyse the meaning of texts, the content of textbooks,
    the recorded information obtained through observation
    or the informants’ answers to the questions of a
    questionnaire or an interview.
    Discourse analysis refers to the procedure utilized for
    the analysis of the purposes and aspects of language
    use in a specific social context. It is useful for
    interpreting conversations or written texts.
    Steps of Qualitative Analysis

    Qualitative data analysis involves the following


    phases :

    Organizing and preparing the collected


    information: this stage refers to the arrangement
    of the gathered data.
    Steps of Qualitative Analysis

    Reviewing and exploring the gathered data:


    this phase implies the act of reading and
    evaluating the amount and quality of the
    collected information.
    Coding : coding refers to the classification of
    the gathered data into distinct categories. It
    means summarizing the content of each
    response and classifying answers together
    according to their content.
    Steps of Qualitative Analysis

    Describing : this step concerns the


    description of the analysed items in a detailed
    way.
    Interpreting : this stage implies the
    explanation and interpretation of the collected
    information.
    Qualitative Data Analysis

    Qualitative data analysis supplies textual


    information provided in the form of texts. To
    give more explanations, the researcher may
    use summary tables or diagrams to
    summarize and recapitulate the main points
    listed previously within the text.
    Qualitative Data Analysis

    Qualitative data analysis helps the investigator


    to provide arguments and details. However, it
    may be unreliable and subjective since it relies
    on the informants’ opinions and the
    researcher’s point of view. Therefore,
    quantitative data analysis should be also
    employed in order to ensure the reliability and
    objectivity of the findings.
