Two years ago, your video on qualitative coding in Word made my day and I was able to hand in an assignment thanks to you! (I was so impressed I subscribed) Now, I started watching all you have to say about the topic because I'm writing my thesis and I don't have the money or time to learn a software. You sir, a saint!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback - this means a world to me! I am really glad that my video helped you so much and motivated to come back for more :) Hopefully there is much more here to explore and help you with your thesis ! I constantly work on improving the quality of my content too!
This is the second video of you I watched and it really further enriched my understanding about coding qualitative data. The sharing of your knowledge and experience in this area is much appreciated!
it's very informative and helpful, especially the straightforward operation of Nvivo presented in this video. and I try to go through all your videos, I learned a lot that I am supposed to know and use in my dissertation. thank you very much!
Thank you for posting this video. I found it very informative, although after listening to your advice I need to go back and remove all my poor quality codes! ...)
Lol, don't just yet - the more codes the better, just keep them and create some more (if you are not happy with the current ones). Later, in later stages when you organize your codes and start thinking about themes, you can decide what to do with these ones
Thank you so much for the very high quality content you provide! I'm about to start the analysis of my data and your work reallyyyyy helps. What software do you use? Is this NVIVO?
Thanks for this video. So are there no specific methods, one has to decide for? (in vivo coding, emotion codung, value coding....) Or which method are you following? Thank you!
Usually you're not expected to specify that, although it does help to explain your approach in your methods chapter. It is more common to talk about the overall approach to data analysis (e.g. thematic analysis), or specific frameworks (such as the Brown and Clarke's one). I usually explain that my approach to coding was strongly influenced by grounded theory, as it is true that this is how I learned to code with such level of detail
so those codes are your idea or opinion after you read a chapter or they are quotes copied exactly how they are from your document? I am lost and confused for qualitative research depending just on documents, how to first gather data?
The names of codes are how You label them, but each code is used to Code a certain piece of text, which is an actual quote. in your case, in document analysis, you may have a code saying for example something like "diversity" or "importance of diversity" or "value of diversity", which you apply to a paragraph or sentence where they talk about the value of diversity, or maybe they are describing their values and mission and they say "diversity is one of our key principles" - this is just an example, hope this helps
I was told to do a thematic type of research I have no idea what I should do first that's why after some moment of writer's block I decided to try to understand thematic research again. fingers cross my anxiety won't get to me again
Hi - I am busy with my Executive MBA dissertation and doing a thematic analysis after I have conducted my interviews. Your videos have been very information and helpful. I would however, like to ask if you have a set of questions, in my case 10 questions, in order to moved forward now with the coding, do I go to each respondents answer to the questions to formulate my dataset? I am just very unsure about how to start it off though. Please help?
sorry I missed your question and answering so late. I do have several videos about coding, including my most recent 3 videos, in which I start from scratch and take you through the whole 3-step process of coding and then developing themes , hope these will help
you may still develop themes if you have different codes, if there is some way in which you can group these codes. If I have codes describing different challenges that students face, even if the codes (the specific challenges), are different, they all have something in common - they describe challenges, which means that I may create "challenges" as a theme. There is usually a way to find such common topics, or themes, even if seemingly the content of the different data sources seems quite different
the concept of coding and theming will be the same regardless of the field of study. And codes will be specific to your data and what your participants are saying
Thanks for this video!! Does someone happen to have a reference to support the more descriptive coding/indexing first and go on to a more analytical code afterwards? The coding described in this video resonates way more with how my brain and process works but my university proposed a different way. So I need a literature reference :) Big thanks if someone can help!!
I would suggest checking books about constructivitst grounded theory, such as Charmaz's "constructing grounded theory". This methodology is known to use such approach, and you don't have to necessarily do a gt study to be following this approach
