Describe the different types of qualitative analysis and indicate whic.docxearleanp
Describe the different types of qualitative analysis and indicate which is most persuasive.
Solution
A qualitative analysis or a research is based on the collection and analysis of non-numeric data like words or pictures. Qualitative methods have three distinct dimensions which are as follows:
1. Understanding Concept
2. Understanding People
3. Understanding Interaction
Four major types of qualitative research are:
1. Phenomenology - The analysis of data is done by getting access to individuals life-worlds, which is actually their world of experience. This can be done by conducting in-depth interviews. In this analysis the commonalities across individuals are sought. Once the data is collected it will be analyzed and report will be prepared based on the collected data and understandings.
2. Ethonography - It is a analysis based on the study of a group of people based on their culture. People from same or similar culture share beliefs, customs, rituals, practices and language norms. This will be highly effective in analyzing data qualitatively. The data that are collected in this method of analysis are based on the cultural standards, insider\'s perspective, external and social scentific view.
3. Grounded Theory - Here the analysis is based on the theoretical approach. The major characteristics of grounded theory are Fit, Understanding, Generality and control. Theories provide explanation and they tell us how and why of any situiation.
4. Case Study - In this analysis the various cases are considered and in-depth analysis is performed to study the variations and deviations.
In all the above steps Data coding and analysis takes place. Data Analysis is done in three different steps and they are:
1. Open Coding -Â Â Reading transcripts
2. Axial Coding - Organizing concepts
3. Selective Coding - Focusing on main ideas
Phenomenology is the most pursuasive method of qualitative analysis since the data is sought directly from the individuals. Hence this can be relied upon thoroughly.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Reactive vs. nonreactive research
Reactive: people being studied are aware of
being studied
Experiments
Surveys
Nonreactive: Subjects are unaware they are
being studied
Unobtrusive measures
Often use naturalistic settings
3. Varieties of nonreactive observation
Erosion measures
– selective wear
Accretion measures
– deposits of something left behind.
4. Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths and advantages
No subject “confounds”
Can assess actual behavior rather than self-report
Safety
Reliability
Inexpensive
Good for longitudinal data
Weaknesses and disadvantages
No control
Often don’t know anything about the subjects
Sample may not be representative
Secondary information may have bias
Need triangulation – looking at material from several
different perspectives gives a more accurate view of it.
5. Types of nonreactive research
Some field experiments could be termed
nonreactive
Naturalistic observation
Content analysis – quantitative or qualitative
Archival research
Written and audio/visual records
Secondary analysis
6. Content analysis
A technique used to study written material by
breaking it into meaningful units, using
carefully applied rules.
Use objective and systematic coding to
produce a quantitative description of the
observed material.
Can analyze common myths
Can also be used in a qualitative way
Employ semiotic techniques
7. Example: Erving Goffman’s Gender
Advertisements (1979, 1988)
Goffman combined content and
semiotic analysis to look at how
gender was (and still is!)
portrayed in advertising. In his
analysis, Goffman examined a
selection of advertising images
and found that that women are
consistently shown in
subordinated positions compared
to men in a variety of social
situations. He also concluded that
advertising both reflects and
helps shape our concept of what
it means to be masculine or
feminine in our culture.
8. Erving Goffman’s Gender
Advertisements
Goffman asked the question: How is gender
represented in advertising?
His underlying premise is that ads are taken-
for-granted pictures or displays of codified
(culturally accepted) gender behaviour – the
ads display ritualized behaviours.
9. Goffman (cont.)
If we explore these codes, we can learn what it is to
be “male” or “female” in our culture.
Goffman believed that these codes originated in
how families are structured in our society; based on
the dominant – subordinate relationship between
parent and child.
Essentially, men treat women as they would treat
subordinate males – in turn both are treated as
“children”, which repeats the dominant parent –
subordinate child relationship within the family.
10. Goffman (cont.)
Note re: Goffman’s research….
Goffman showed that a fairly simple, but very
cost-effective methodology like content
analysis can illuminate an important theory
about gender and the social world.
Most theorists (ie. Leiss Kline Jhally, Waters
and Ellis) believe that Goffman’s findings and
the categories that he uses for his study are
equally relevant today.
15. Content Analysis
What can be studied
Any written material
Audio/visual information
Useful for 3 types of research
Problems involving a large volume of text
Research from afar or in the past
Revealing themes difficult to see with casual
observation.
16. Steps in content analysis
1. Define problem / identify the issue to be
studied
2. Select the media that will be used
3. Derive coding categories
4. Sampling strategy – which sources will you
use?
5. Train the coders if using
6. Code material by hand or with software
7. Analyze the data
17. Human vs. computer coders
Can often utilize computers
Internet searches
Automated text search
Great for extremely large sets of data
Personal judgment not part of the process
Cheaper and faster than humans
Humans
Useful for coding complex concepts
More flexibility
Costs more time and money
18. Coding in a content analysis
What gets counted?
What is important for understanding themes?
Structured observation – systematic observation
based on careful rules
Coding systems
Before you decide specifically on coding categories, you
must specify what you are going to measure
A set of rules on how to systematically observe and record
content from text or images.
What is the unit of analysis?
One word
One paragraph
One theme
One image
19. Characteristics of text content
1. Frequency
2. Direction
3. Intensity
4. Space
Other things that could be counted:
Characters
Specific individuals
Can also consider semantics – the meaning of the text
Requires interpretation
Must make judgment calls
Or concepts
Crime, mental illness
Themes
20. Manifest and Latent Content
Manifest
Overt or visible material – can count
Latent
Symbolic content uncovered by semantic analysis – needs
to be coded first (inductive process) and then counted
Can use both deductive and inductive approaches
to find categories (codes) for content analysis
Divide sample in sections
Use grounded theory on a smaller portion to develop
categories
Use those categories on the rest of the sample.
21. Deductive and Inductive Category
Formation
Deductive
Reasoning from the general to the specific
Forming categories to score based on theoretical
ideas.
Inductive category formation
Reason from the specific to the general
Come up with categories from data
Can obtain categories by using grounded theory
22. Grounded theory
Theories are empirically grounded into the data.
Data collection and analysis are combined.
Cycle – observe data, modify theory, observe data based on
theory
3 stages of analysis in grounded theory
1. Open coding: Find conceptual categories in the data
2. Axial coding: Look at relationship between the categories
3. Selective coding: To account for relationships, find core
categories.
In grounded theory, meaning derived from the data
For content analysis, grounded theory can help find
the appropriate codes to use.
Quantitative analysis after that.
23. Sampling Strategy In Content
Analysis
Which sources will be used?
Depends on purpose of study, theory, etc.
Which dates will be used?
What will be analyzed?
All of article, every 2 pages, etc.
Representative sample is important
Can use various sampling procedures to obtain
Random sampling
Stratified sampling
Purposive sampling – picking a sample for a particular
reason.
24. Data Analysis in Content
Analysis
Quantitative:
Largely depends on procedure
Correlation analysis
Percentages
Inferential analysis
Qualitative
Use semiotic analysis (developed in humanities)
25. Analysis of Existing Statistics and
Secondary Analysis of Survey Data
Also nonreactive
Many sources of statistical data available
Government statistics (i.e. Stats Canada, Canadian
Census Data)
International agencies (i.e. World Health
Organization, the UN)
Also many private sources
Secondary analysis can be done when obtain “raw
data” and do statistical analysis for your own
research question
Raw census data available to academic institutions
26. 2006 and 2011 Canadian Census
