Coding in Deductive Qualitative AnalysisJane Gilgun
This article discusses how to use open, axial, and selective coding in the analysis of qualitative data when researchers conduct studies using deductive qualitative analysis (DQA). Unlike grounded theory, DQA begins with preliminary codes that both guide the research and that researchers expect to test and to change in the course of doing the research. This article reports on email exchanges with two students that Jane Gilgun had. Jane is a professor at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA. the students are Anke Reints, a PhD student at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, and Ben Duncan, a student at Tennessee State University, USA.
During this webinar, Dr. Lani will discuss qualitative analyses for dissertation Chapter 4. Special emphasis will be given to Phenomenological, Case study, and Grounded theory approaches.
Here is an in-depth presentation that overviews twenty two (22) qualitative data methods that can be used in marketing research. For more great FREE resources, join us on facebook today at www.facebook.comb2bwhiteboard.

Qualitative data analysis: many approaches to understand user insightsAgnieszka Szóstek
The fifth lecture at HITLab, Canterbury University in New Zealand was all about how important it is to run a proper analysis of the qualitative data. We discussed the value in looking at data from individual (phenomenological) perspective versus combined (reductionist) perspective. But we agreed that regardless of the chosen approach it is crucial to look at the data from more than just one perspective to be sure the interpretation is not biased by researcher's on view of the world.

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

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Presenting the results of qualitative research
3. Qualitative Research
- Qualitative research can provide insight which is
not possible to elucidate with purely quantitative
data
– A means for exploring and understanding the
meaning individuals or groups ascribe to social or
human problems
– Study human behavior and social world.
- Help us to understand the world in which we live
and why things are the way they are .
4. Qualitative research answer questions on:
Why people behave the way they do?
How opinions and attitudes are formed?
How people are affected by the events that go on
around them?
How and why cultures have developed?
The difference between social groups ?
5. Qualitative research designs
Four major types of qualitative research design
include:
Phenomenology
Ethnography
Grounded theory
Case study
6. Phenomenology
• Study of a phenomena – describing something that exist
as part of the world.
• Phenomena might be: An event, a situation, an
experience or a concept.
• It begins with the acknowledgment that there is a gap in
our understanding
• It may not necessarily provide definitive explanations but
it does raise awareness and increase insight
7. Ethnography
• The term means “portrait of people”
• It is a methodology for descriptive studies of cultures
and peoples – e.g. cultural parameter is suspected of
affecting the population’s response to care or treatment
• It requires extensive fieldwork by the researchers
• Data collection includes formal and informal interview on
several occasion and observation
• It is extremely time consuming
8. Ethnography cont.
• Data analysis : researcher interpret data from the
prospective of the population under study
• Results are expressed as they are expressed by the
subjects themselves
• These studies might be problematic when researchers are
not familiar with social norms and language.
9. Grounded theory
• Main feature: development of a new theory through the
collection and analysis of data about a phenomenon
• It goes beyond phenomenology as the explanation are
genuinely new knowledge and are used to develop theories
• Various data collection techniques are used:
-Literature review,
- documentary analysis,
- interviews ,
- observation.
10. Case study
• Case studies might be qualitative or quantitative
• In-depth analysis of a single or small number of unites
• It is used to describe an entity that forms a single unit
such as a person, an organization or an institution
• Complexity: illustration of an event VS. analysis of social
situation over time
• As a research design, it offers rich and in-depth
information which is not usually offered by other methods
11. Case study cont.
• It is highly versatile method and employs any or all
methods of data collection
• It can be used for different purposes e.g. development of
new services, organizational changes in planning,
purchasing or delivery of health services, evaluation of a
program
• A critic - case may not be representative of similar cases
(findings are not generalizable)
12. Methods of collecting qualitative data
• Direct interaction with individuals
– One to one interaction
– Or interaction with a group
• Interviews
- Focus Group Discussion
- Observation
• Data collection is time consuming
• Benefits of these methods include richness of data and
deeper insight into phenomena under study
13. Interviews
• Structured interviews
– Same questions in same away
– Limited range of responses (e.g. questionnaires)
• Semi structured interviews or focused interviews
– Series of open ended questions
– Provide opportunities to both researchers and respondents
to discuss certain topics in more details
14. • Unstructured interviews or in-depth interviews
– Discussing limited number of topics
– Phrase questions in the interviewee’s previous response
• Qualitative interviews are semi structure or unstructured
• Qualitative interviews should be fairly informal
• Require careful consideration and preparation
15. Focus group discussion
• Collect information from groups of people rather than a
series of individuals
• FGD can be used when
– Resources are limited
– To identify a number of individuals who share a common
factor
– It is desirable to collect the views of several people within
the population sub group
– Group interaction among participants has the potential
for greater insights to be developed
16. • Characteristics of a focus group
– Group size: usually 6-10 people
– Several FGD should be run in any research, it would be
wrong to rely on the views of just one group
– Members of each group should have something in
common
– May use pre formed groups e.g. pressure groups
– Data collection and analysis is time consuming
– Requires certain skills
Facilitation, moderating, listening, observing and
analyzing
17. Observation
• Might be the only method to collect information in
certain conditions
• Observation of people VS. observation of environment
• Observation can also serve for verifying or nullifying
information collected through other methods
18. Techniques for collecting data
– Written descriptions
• Researcher may miss to record
• May focus on one thing and miss equally or even more
important things
– Video recording
• No need to take notes
• Review time after time
• Recording my affect the behavior of the people under
observation
• Fixed camera may limits the range of possible observation
19. • Photographs
– Good way of collecting observable data of phenomena
which can be captured in a single shots or series of shots
– Photographs of buildings, neighborhoods, dress and
appearance
• Documentation
– Wide range of written materials
– Policy document, annual reports, minutes of meeting,
codes of conduct, notice boards etc.
20. Handling qualitative research data
• Recording VS. note taking
• Transcribing qualitative data
– Procedure for producing written version of interview
– Time consuming ,
– Produce a lot of written text
• Transcribe may not be essential for each interview
– Tape analysis: taking notes from play back of tape
recorded interviews
– Who should do transcribing?
21. Handling qualitative research data cont.
• Consideration should be given to tone and inflection
– By listening and noting the intensity and feeling in the
interviewee’s voice it is possible to detect:
• Positive/negative continuum
• Certainty/uncertainty
• Enthusiasm/reluctance
• Constant comparative analysis: data collection and data
analysis occur on ongoing basis
– Each interview is analyzed before other interview take place
– Finding of first interview is incorporated in the following one
– Later interviews might be completely different from the initial
ones
22. Analyzing qualitative data
• Involves summarizing data and presenting the results in a
way that communicate the most important features
• As quantitative research we are interested to discover the
big picture in qualitative research as well, but by using
different technics
• We start labeling or coding every item of information to
recognize differences and similarities between all different
items
23. Analyzing qualitative data cont.
• No system for pre-coding
• Needs a method of identifying and coding items of data
which appear in the text of transcript
• All the items of data from one interview should be
compared with other interviews
• Same procedures are used for qualitative data collected
through interviews, FGDs, observation and documentary
analysis – since all are concerned with analyzing text.
24. Analyzing qualitative data cont.
• Content analysis
– Procedure for categorization of verbal or behavioral data
– It involves coding and classifying data – Analysis done at
two levels:
• Basic or manifest level: descriptive what was actually said
• Higher or interpretative level ;
• what was meant by response – also called latent level of
analysis
25. Analyzing qualitative data cont.
• Content analysis involves the following steps:
1. Read the transcript and make brief note of interesting or
relevant information
2. Make a list of the different type of information from the
notes
3. Categorization of the listed items
4. Identify the categories that are some how linked to each
other (major categories or themes)
5. Compare and contrast various categories
26. 6. Repeat the process from stage 1-5 on next transcripts
- Identify new categories of information
- Accommodate data in the existing categories
- Color code different categories and review
7. Collect together all the extracts from the transcribed
interviews that you have put into one category
8. Review different categories and move items if required
from one category to another
9. Review and check if two or more categories can fit
together
10. Check the initial notes, consider if any previously
excluded data is relevant and should be included in results
27. Presenting the results of qualitative research
• Look at themes and categories and structure of the results
accordingly
• The structure can be set out at the beginning as a list or
diagram
• Themes are the main findings of the study
• To support findings, evidence are presented at direct
quotations from respondents
28. Presenting the results of qualitative research cont.
• A range of quotations should be selected
– Strength of opinion or belief
– Similarities between respondents
– Differences between respondents
• Link between different categories
• Conclusion
• Some qualitative data can be dealt with in quantitative
way
• Using qualitative and quantitative techniques for analysis
of data can strengthen analysis
