Overview
With your assigned partner and relying on the YouTube video Qualitative Data Analysis - Coding & Developing Themes (10:38) below, please code the following 13-page transcript following these criteria
2. Develop a Coding Framework:
- Create a coding scheme or set of codes based on your research questions or preliminary analysis.
- Include definitions and examples for each code to minimize ambiguity.
3. Collaborate with Your Partner Coders:
- Ensure both coders are familiar with the coding framework and its application.
- Conduct a pilot coding session on a small portion of the data to align understanding.
4. Independent Coding:
- Each coder independently codes the transcript, applying the predefined codes to segments of text.
5. Compare Results:
- After coding, the two coders meet to compare their results.
- Calculate intercoder reliability using a measure such as Cohen's Kappa, Krippendorff's Alpha, or percent agreement.
6. Resolve Discrepancies:
- Discuss any disagreements in coding.
- Refine the coding framework if necessary to clarify ambiguous codes.
- Re-code the dataset if major adjustments are made.
7. Reassess Reliability (if needed):
- Conduct a second round of independent coding to ensure agreement has improved after resolving discrepancies.
