🧠 UNIT IV: DATA ANALYSIS AND CATEGORY CONSTRUCTION
🌿 1️⃣ Initial and Axial Coding
It allows the researcher to organize and interpret the information obtained during fieldwork.
🔹 Concept
→ Initial: breaks down the data and assigns codes to it.
→ Axial: groups and relates the codes.
🔹 Characteristics
→ Inductive.→ Flexible.→ Reflective.
🔹 Objectives
→ Organize the data.→ Identify patterns and relationships.
🔹 Importance
→ Transforms data into structured knowledge.
🌿 2️⃣ Grouping and Contrasting Meanings
It allows the researcher to compare different discourses to identify similarities, differences, and contradictions.
🔹 Concept
→ Groups related meanings.→ Contrasts different perspectives.→ Identifies patterns and tensions.
🔹 Characteristics
→ Interpretive.→ Comparative.→ Contextual.
🔹 Objectives
→ Understand different perspectives.→ Identify agreements and contradictions.
🔹 Importance
→ Enriches the interpretation of the data.
🌿 3️⃣ Building Categories from Data — Bottom-up
🔹 Concept
→ Starts from the data.→ Generates emerging codes.→ Builds categories progressively.
🔹 Characteristics
→ Inductive.→ Emergent.→ Flexible.
🔹 Objectives
→ Identify patterns.→ Build meaningful categories.
🔹 Importance
→ Respects the experiences and voices of the participants.
🌿 4️⃣ Triangulation and Internal Validation
🔹 Concept
→ Triangulation: compares different sources, methods, or actors.
→ Internal Validation: checks the consistency of the interpretations.
🔹 Characteristics
→ Comparative.→ Reflective.→ Systematic.
🔹 Objectives
→ Reduce biases.→ Strengthen interpretations.
🔹 Importance
→ Increases the credibility of the study.
🌿 5️⃣ Digital Tools for Qualitative Analysis
🔹 Concept
→ NVivo.→ ATLAS.ti.→ MAXQDA.→ Taguette and other tools.
🔹 Characteristics
→ Organize data.→ Facilitate coding.→ Allow relationships to be visualized.
🔹 Objectives
→ Manage information.→ Facilitate analysis.→ Improve organization.
🔹 Importance
→ Increase the order, systematic approach, and rigor of the analysis.
