qualitative analysis
Definition
- Qualitative analysis refers to the way researchers analyze data collected through methods such as participant observation, case studies, interviews, narratives, and other nonquantitative formats. Qualitative analysis includes three major components: (1) reducing data by narrowing the focus, organizing, and transforming raw data (e.g., field notes) in a meaningful way; (2) displaying data through a detailed narrative about the phenomenon under examination or visuals (or both), such as charts and figures; and (3) drawing and verifying conclusions.
