Content analysis is the procedure for the
categorization of verbal or behavioral data for the
purpose of classification, summarization and
tabulation
The content can be analyzed on two levels:
Descriptive: What is the data?
Interpretative: what was meant by the data?
© JALucero, DrHum, MPMG, MAEd, MAN, RN, LPT
Narratives are transcribed experiences
Every interview/observation has narrative aspect-the
researcher has to sort-out and reflect up on them, enhance
them, and present them in a revised shape to the reader
The core activity in narrative analysis is to reformulate stories
presented by people in different contexts and based on their
different experiences
© JALucero, DrHum, MPMG, MAEd, MAN, RN, LPT
A method of analyzing a naturally occurring talk (spoken
interaction) and all types of written texts
Focus on ordinary people method of producing and making
sense of everyday social life: How language is used in everyday
situations?
Sometimes people express themselves in a simple and straightforward
way
Sometimes people express themselves vaguely and indirectly
Analyst must refer to the context when interpreting the message as the
same phenomenon can be described in a number of different ways
depending on context
© JALucero, DrHum, MPMG, MAEd, MAN, RN, LPT
 Familiarization: Transcribing & reading the data
 Identifying a thematic framework: Initial coding framework which is
developed both from a priori issues and from emergent issues
 Coding: Using numerical or textual codes to identify specific piece of data
which correspond to different themes
 Charting: Charts created using headings from thematic framework (can
be thematic or by case)
 Mapping and interpretation: Searching for patterns, associations, concepts
and explanations in the data© JALucero, DrHum, MPMG, MAEd, MAN, RN, LPT
 Analytic induction
 Starts with an examination of a single case from a ‘pre-defined’ population in order to formulate
a general statement about a population, a concept or a hypothesis
 Then the analyst examines another case to see whether it fits the statement
 If it does, a further case is selected
 If it doesn’t fit there are two options
 Either the statement is changed to fit both cases or the definition of the population is changed in such a
way that the case is no longer a member of the newly defined population
 Then another case is selected and the process continues
 In such a way one should be able to arrive at a statement that fits all cases of a population-as-
defined
 This method is only for limited set of analytic problems: those that can be solved with some
general overall statement

The Process of Qualitative Data Analysis
Step 1: Organize the data (Familiarization)
Step 2: Identify the framework
Step 3: Sort data into framework (Coding)
Step 4: Use the framework for descriptive analysis (Charting)
Step 5: Second order analysis

 I always wanted to get my doctorate but I never felt I had the
time; then I reached a point in my career where I saw that
without the credentials, I would never advance to the types of
positions I aspired to..but I doubted I could do the work. I wasn’t
sure I could go back to school after so much time. And did I
have the time, with working and a family? These were the things
I struggled with as I looked for the right program.
 Um, ..finally starting the program with others like me, it felt
surreal. Once you switch gears from being an established
administrator at a college to being a doc student, you realize
you lose control over your life. You are not in charge in that
classroom, like you are in your office. But also, once you say you
are a doc student, people look at you differently. And people at
work began to take me more seriously, ask for my opinion as if I
now possessed special knowledge because I was going for the
doctorate. It was the same information I had shared previously
but somehow it had a special quality? Its like magic!
 I can’t think of a particular answer right now…
