What is Qualitative Data Analysis?
Qualitative Data Analysis covers the areas which are exploratory and observational in nature.
Even though the methods of data collection remain the same, the nature of data and analysis changes based on the research topic and objectives. Qualitative data analysis is used mostly to identify the human behaviour, habits, actions and feelings pertaining to different factors which could be geographical, circumstantial, financial and so on. Due to which this analysis becomes even more subjective and harder to interpret.
Qualitative Data Collection Methods
The method is selected based on its suitability in accordance with the research objectives.
-
InterviewsThe interviews can be used for both primary qualitative data or the secondary qualitative data by tapping the answers of the respondents. Once the responses get transcribed, the researcher needs to get that reviewed by the respondents to avoid any miscommunication.
-
SurveysSurveys may be conducted both online and offline. However, there are chances of getting vague answers in case the participants do not understand the questions properly or choose not to answer a few questions as per their preferences.
-
ObservationsObservational method of collecting data may become the most time consuming method. However, it provides the detailed results and more accuracy rate as it gives time to the researcher for including various factors.
Different Measures For Qualitative Data Analysis
Based on the qualitative data collected for the research defines the measure of analysis.
1. Content Analysis
Mostly, the data documented in the forms of texts, media or other physical items from the interviews or surveys conducted are analysed by using this specific measure. This is a commonly used measure which is often applied on the documented transcripts.
2. Narrative Analysis
When more than one method is used for collecting the data including surveys, interviews and observations, then it demands for a thorough analysis. Narrative analysis draws an insight into different responses and draws a collective narration by aiming at the common findings to draw conclusions.
3. Discourse Analysis
Discourse analysis is similar to narration analysis when it comes to analysing the data collected through different methods. However, in this the focus remains on answering the research questions. This analysis also focuses on the circumstances and environment in which the data has been collected to evaluate its impact on the participant.
4. Grounded Theory
This is the most complex measure of analysing qualitative data in which the scholar/researcher has to go through different case studies related to a common topic in order to find out the reason why the phenomenon took place there. It needs developing and coming up with new knowledge that has been created from the study. Moreover, the researcher has to make sure that the reason concluded fits all the different case studies.
How Does Our Team Conduct Qualitative Data Analysis?
We, at PhD Thesis Help, are a team of experts in Maharashtra who go by the book when and wherever necessary. It is better to go with a tried and tested process step-by-step then ending up consuming the time without finding the desired result.
- Our first step is to get the knowledge about the research, its objectives and basic patterns that need to be analysed.
- Then, the second step includes going through the research questions that need to be answered through the data analysis.
- After the questions have been noted down, a framework gets developed after coding or indexing and all the important ideas are identified to assign a value to them
- The last step includes defining the patterns and choosing the right measure to analyse them. After which future scope and areas of research are identified.
