To prepare for this Discussion:
- Review the readings in Weeks 8 and 9 on data analysis and consider the coding activities you have engaged in for the past 2 weeks.
- Consider the kinds of data that would be generated through the data collection techniques anticipated for your qualitative research plan. Would you have interview transcripts? Observation field notes? Documents to analyze? Images? Videos? Something else?
- Based on how you answered the above questions, what kinds of data analysis techniques would be appropriate for your qualitative research plan? Would you use software? What would you recommend?
