DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS
QUALITATIVE
It is a non-numerical organization & interpretation of data to discover themes or patterns that are found in the field notes, interviews, recorded conversations, etc.
QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS
characteristics of qualitative analysis
- No universal rule
- Thick descriptions
- Enormous work
- Reduces data for reporting purposes
if it will describe the phenomenon in detail, specific, & contains all descriptions needed by the readers to understand phenomenon
THICK DESCRIPTION
should contain INFORMATION, INTENTION, & MEANING & SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS that can evolve from the phenoemna

STEPS (qualitative)
- Read thoroughly & repeatedly-decipher meanings
- Clustering of similar responses
- Formulate themes & subthemes
- Construct a major theme & subtheme
- Presentation of themes & subthemes to participants
- Formulation of conceptual map after the participants have approved the themes
STRATEGIES IN ANALYZING OR HANDLING QUALITATIVE DATA:
- PRE-ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES
- ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES
record immediately relevant data
PRE-ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES
immersion
ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES
re-reading in search of themes
ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES
THEMATIC ANALYSIS
Researcher tries to RECOVER and UNCOVER what is embodied in the content
THEME
A phrase that described the fundamental meaning (essence) or significance in a selected portion in a narrative data
Someone who uses ______ makes SPECIFIC OBSERVATIONS and THEN DRAWS A GENERAL CONCLUSION
INDUCTIVE REASONING
is a SPECIFIC CONCLUSION FOLLOWS A GENERAL THEORY
DEDUCTIVE REASONING
Every quiz has been easy. Therefore, the test will be easy.
example of INDUCTIVE REASONING
All students in this class play guitar. SAM IS A STUDENT OF THIS CLASS. -Therefore, Sam plays guitar.
example of DEDUCTIVE REASONING
Thematic analysis includes:
- Deductive Process
- Inductive Process
*Integration process - Eclectic Approach
the researcher develops category based on subthemes that will represent each subproblems
Deductive Process
the researcher tackles one category at a time
Inductive Process
related them to subproblems
Inductive Process
use of metaphors or figures of speech
Inductive Process
study of relationship or linkages between themes within the subproblems or across the different subproblems
Integration process
blending of independent and dependent variables
ECLECTIC APPROACH
REDUCING DATA
ECLECTIC APPROACH
INTERPRETATION OF QUALITATIVE DATA
A. EMIC PERSPECTIVE
B. ETIC PERSPECTIVE
‘Insider’s View’ (Participant)
EMIC PERSPECTIVE
The way the members describe their own experiences or perceive themselves
EMIC PERSPECTIVE
‘Outsider’s View’
ETIC PERSPECTIVE
The way the researcher describe experiences of the participants
ETIC PERSPECTIVE
Data analysis
QUANTITATIVE
separation of data into parts for the purpose of answering research questions & communicating the answers to others
DATA ANALYSIS
depend on specific question, research design, data collection method, & levels of measurement
DATA ANALYSIS
2 types/branches of DATA ANALYSIS (quantitative)
- Descriptive Analysis
- Inferential Analysis
use to describe individual variables of the study
DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS
find out the relationship or difference of the variables under study
INFERENTIAL ANALYSIS
2 methods in research
Qualitative and Quantitative
