Although qualitative research design is emergent, advance planning is needed for which purpose? A. Deciding how large the sample will be B. Identifying personal biases and presuppositions C. Deciding which instruments and scales will be used to collect data D. Developing a coding scheme for the data
The answer is (D.) Developing a coding scheme for the data
In qualitative research, analysis of data actually begins with data collection, and some of the researchers argue that there is no seperate step of analysis of data in qualitative research. Analysis of data in qualitative research usually involves an examination of words rather than number, as is the case in qualitative research. In qualitative studies, large amount of data is collected in the form of word which could be several thousands pages of notes. Therefore, data analysis in qualitative is a challenging task. There are no universally accepted rules for analysis of qualitative data. However, qulalitative data can be analysed by using descriptive coding, indexing, narrations, intergrative diagrams, schematic analysis, etc.
