What you'll learn


Working With Transcribed Data

This course will follow on from the popular Sage Campus course: Do Your Interviews, but learners can also take it as a stand-alone course. The course will provide a clear understanding of the skills needed to manage and sort transcribed data collected from interviews, surveys, and focus groups.

This course will help learners to:

  • Understand why it’s important to have a clear overview of transcribed data before coding

  • Devise and apply a coding frame to code transcribed data

  • Apply emergent coding to interpret transcribed data

  • Use software to code and analyze data

  • Analyze and interpret transcribed data

  • Select the most appropriate coding method for transcribed data

Language: English

Time to complete: 2 hours

Level: Beginner

Instructor: Dr Helen Kara

How to access: Sage Campus is a digital library product. If you are a librarian, find out how to get Sage Campus for your university. If you are faculty, a researcher, or a student, recommend Sage Campus to your library.

Course modules


Course modules


 There are 5 modules in this course:

 

1. Getting to Know Your Data

If you've collected your data through interviews or focus groups, you’ll have recorded discussions to transcribe. Transcribing means converting recorded audio (or video) data into text. When you've transcribed your data, you’ll need to analyze that data. There are several steps to this process and it's important to work through them systematically. The first step is to get to know your data, which is the focus of this first module.

2. Using a Coding Framework

Once you’re familiar with your data, it’s time to sort your data so you can better understand them and analyze them. One way to do this is using a coding frame. This module will explain what a coding frame is, how to create and test a coding frame, and how to apply a coding frame to your data.

3. Emergent Coding

Emergent coding is very different from using a coding frame. You will use emergent coding when your question is broad and exploratory as a way to extract the most information from your data. This module will explain what emergent coding is and show you how it’s done. Then you will have the chance to try out emergent coding for yourself.

4. Coding and Evaluating Data With Software (Optional)

Throughout this course, we’ve looked at coding data manually, and while these techniques are effective, there’s also software available to help with the process. This optional module will show you how to use two such software, Delve and NVivo, to support coding and evaluation of transcribed data.

5. From Coding to Analysis

You’ve learned how to code your data, now it’s time to move on to your analysis. We’ll discuss the relationship between analytic work and writing, and give you an overview of the process of writing your findings up as an assignment.
