• University of Houston

• Baylor University

• University of Texas

This session we're discussing:

Bengtson (2016) Explains how to plan and perform a qualitative study using content analysis. The Data Analyzing component includes

• 2 easy steps

• 4 stages

• 14 stages

Bengtsson's 4 stage Data analysis approach includes:

• Decontextualization

• Recontextualization

• Categorization

• Compilation

• Analyzation

Bengtsson shares that "each stage must be performed several times to maintain the quality and trustworthiness of the analysis."

• True

• False

According to Bengtsson, in the analyzing process, human mistakes are always possible; these mistakes can be caused by:

• errors interpretation

• personal bias

• All of the above

_______ is the smallest unit that contains some of the insights the researcher needs, and...answering the question set out in the aim.

Burnard's method of analyzing interview transcripts includes ________ stages of analysis:

• Six

• Fourteen

• Fifteen

• Eight

Burnard (1991) states that this is arguably the only real way of presenting interview findings without any sort of manipulation:

• Category analysis completely and accurately

• Only categorizing the transcripts

• Coding and categorizing the transcripts

• Offering the transcripts whole and unanalyzed

Burnard (1991) suggests the researcher in the field of qualitative work is urged to be :

• Systematic and open to the difficulties of the task of understanding other people’s perceptions.

• Subjective and include themselves in the interview data

• Objective and unaware of the difficulties of the task of understanding other people’s perceptions.
