Coding involves assigning labels or tags to qualitative data to identify themes and relationships. It allows researchers to analyze data by categorizing it. Coding objectives include facilitating automatic data analysis and allowing programmers to develop applications and programs. Coding has advantages like identifying patterns in data and requiring less storage space, but it can obscure meanings and be difficult to apply to subjective judgments.

1. CODING OF DATA

2. MEANING
• Coding is the process of labeling and organizing your
qualitative data to identify different themes and the
relationships between them.
• Coding is a qualitative data analysis strategy in which some
aspect of the data is assigned a descriptive label that allows
the researcher to identify related content across the data.

3. • Process of assigning numerical values to responses that are
originally in a given format such as numerical, text, audio or
video.

4. OBJECTIVES OF CODING OF DATA
• The main objective is to facilitate the automatic treatment of
data for analytical purposes.
• Coding allows programmers to build programs, such as
websites and apps. Computer programmers can also tell
computers how to process data in better, faster ways.

5. • Entrepreneurs who have mastered app development will be
able to relate to the tech team and comprehend the difficulties
they face. This makes teamwork stronger and increases
productivity
• Coding can be applied to data visualisation.

6. TYPES OF CODING
• Thematic Analysis Coding.
• Pattern Coding
• Selective coding
• Axial coding

7. • Elaborative coding
• Theoretical coding
• Logitudinal coding
• Content analysia coding

8. Examples
• Examples of programs and things built with code are websites,
web applications, mobile applications, games, and artificial
intelligence systems.

9. Advantages of Coding
• Coding helps researchers to identify patterns, themes, and
relationships in the data, and to generate insights and
interpretations.
• Data entries can be accurate
• Less storage space required

10. DISADVANTAGES OF CODING
• Meaning of data can be obscured
• Value of judgements are difficult to code
• Entry may be slow
