 Hello all, in this video we are going to discuss about analysis of qualitative research. So, what is the difference between qualitative research and quantitative research? Quantitative research answers how many and what? Qualitative research answers why and how? Quantitative research tests the hypothesis whereas qualitative research generate or produce the hypothesis. There are various steps in conducting qualitative research analysis. First step you have to mention the objectives. Second you need to prepare the interview gate based on your objective. The interview gate consists of a group of questions mainly having how and why as the questions and based on your objective it will be structured. The most common methods for qualitative research are focus group discussion and in-depth interviews. The other methods for qualitative analysis are social mapping, bend diagram, transect walk, case studies, record review and mirror observations. After doing these various methods what you collect is just the audio. You collect the audio of the conversations which you have done in this focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. All these audio recordings will be converted into data transcripts. This process is called as transcribing and for analysis we have so many methods of qualitative analysis. The most commonly used method is the free listing and file sorting method where you cut all the pieces of information, put it together from the topic gate then you collate those information and give a different structure. That is the first method free listing and file sorting. The other methods are Delphi method, the nominal group technique process and the grounded theory. There are softwares to help out this analysis. Global Anthropag and Atlas TTI are some of these softwares. You can see about this qualitative research in detail in future videos.
