Preferred term
axial coding
Definition
- Axial coding is a procedure advocated by Anselm Strauss and Juliet Corbin in their guidelines for the development of grounded theory (theory derived from data) when analyzing qualitative data. Open coding, where the raw data (e.g., interviews, art, fieldnotes) are broken down so that as many ideas and concepts as possible are identified and labeled, sets the stage for axial coding, where the data are reassembled so that the researcher may identify relationships more readily.
