4.3.6 Main Takeaways Qualitative Data Analysis

Course subject(s) Module 4. Data Collection & Analysis

Analyzing qualitative data predominantly involves coding or categorizing data.

In qualitative data analysis, Codes are tags or labels for allocating identified themes or topics from the data compiled in the study.

shows inductive process of coding in Grounded Theory Approach

Steps in an inductive coding process such as Grounded Theory Approach:

  1. Prepare Raw data (transcribing)
  2. Open Coding: Identify concepts and categories from raw data
  3. Axial coding: Identify core categories
  4. Selective Coding: Identify Overarching theory to connect all core categories
  5. Interpretation of Results

To enhance validity, use multiple independent coders.
