Comparing Qualitative and Quantitative Data

Tonight I watched a Delve video on Qualitative Data. The title of the video is “Qualitative Data Explained | Comparison to Quantitative Data | Data Examples | How to Analyze.” Qualitative data can provide information that quantitative data can’t. The video described qualitative data as “descriptive: depicts qualities, characteristics, etc.” while quantitative data is “numerical: […]

Steps to Effective Thematic Analysis for Researchers

Tonight I watched the Delve video on thematic analysis. They defined thematic analysis as a process that involves delving through a data set, identifying patterns, systematically coding, deriving themes, and creating a narrative.” The Delve video focused on the thematic analysis approach proposed by Braun and Clarke. The first step is to familiarize yourself with […]

Understanding Narrative Analysis

Tonight, I watched another Delve video: “Narrative Analysis Explained in Simple Terms.” This one focused on narrative analysis, defined as “the process that researchers use to understand how research participants construct story and narrative from their own experiences.” The narrator noted that there is a “dual layer of interpretation” in narrative analysis because the research […]

Enhance Your Coding System with Further Rounds of Qualitative Coding

Tonight’s Delve video on qualitative research and coding focused on further rounds of qualitative coding. This two-minute video reviewed codes and improved the code classification system. The session began by noting that while you are grouping codes into themes, you can also review the codes used. When using coding software such as Delve, you can […]

Organizing Codes in Qualitative Research

The Delve YouTube video I watched tonight was on “Deriving Themes from Qualitative Data.” In this seven minute session, they demonstrated reviewing codes and organizing them under themes. While the themes may seem like simply another code, they should connect related codes to help summarize emerging themes. Adding descriptions to the themes helps organize them […]

Deductive and Inductive Coding

Tonight I watched a Delve video on deductive and inductive approaches to qualitative coding. The short video (2 minutes) was packed with information. They defined deductive coding as a top down approach that starts off with a set of codes based on a research question or framework. Examples of deductive coding mentioned were structural coding […]

Mastering Grounded Theory: Steps in Qualitative Coding

I want to learn more about qualitative data analysis and coding. Yesterday, I found the Delve YouTube Channel, and today I continued watching videos. The short but dense “What is Open, Axial, and Selective Coding?” video introduced terms I wasn’t aware of! Open coding, axial coding, and selective coding are steps that are interconnected in […]

Understanding Qualitative Coding with Delve

Tonight I watched an older webinar from Delve. LaiYee Ho is the co-founder of Delve, online software for coding qualitative data. The title of the session was “Introduction to Coding Qualitative Data with Delve.” They emphasized that there are different ways to code. They defined qualitative coding as “a process of taking unstructured data and […]
