Analyzing data
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008It’s been a while since I posted, so I thought I would provide an update. I’ve begun analyzing the transcripts of the face-to-face interviews with the participants. I’ll be using QDA Miner Qualitative Data Analysis software. This process will allow me to identify key themes that describe the participants’ experiences.
During the interview, participants were asked why they chose to participate in the study, as well as what they liked and disliked about the process. Participants were also asked whether or not they thought the online review sessions helped them perform better on the exam. Finally, the participants were asked how the process could be improved.
Once the data are analyzed, I’ll be working on the final report. I’ll be sure to post again with the qualitative results.
