ANALYSIS
 Graphs are a common method to visually illustrate relationships in the data. The purpose of a graph is
to present data that are too numerous or complicated to be described adequately in the text and less
space.
 Uses of graphs:
1. A line graphs.
Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes
exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes
over the same period of time for more than one group.
2. A pie charts.
Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole. They do not show
changes over time.
3. A bar graphs.
Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time.
However, when trying to measure change over time, bar graphs are best when the changes are larger.
 4. An area graphs.
Area graphs are very similar to line graphs. They can be used to track changes over
time for one or more groups. Area graphs are good to use when you are tracking the changes
in two or more related groups that make up one whole category (for example public and
private groups)
5. An X-Y plot.
X-Y plots are used to determine relationships between the two different things. The x-
axis is used to measure one event (or variable) and the y-axis is used to measure the other.
If both variables increase at the same time, they have a positive relationship. If one variable
decrease while the other increases, they have a negative relationship. Sometimes the variables
don’t follow any pattern and have no relationship.

Computer Assisted/Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) – offers tools

that assist with qualitative research such as transcription analysis, coding and text
interpretation, recursive abstraction, content analysis, discourse analysis, grounded theory
methodology, etc.

* transcription analysis – is the systematic representation of language in the written

form.
*coding and text interpretation – it is a process of interpretation and translation of
coded information into a comprehensible form. The audience trying to reconstruct the idea
by giving meanings to symbols and by interpreting the message as a whole.
 * recursive transaction – or recursive calls ex. If you insert a row into a table that does
not have enough space to hold that row, the Oracle server makes recursive calls to allocate
the space dynamically if dictionary managed tablespaces are being used.
* content analysis – is research method for studying documents and communication
artifacts, pictures, audio or video.
* discourse analysis – is the approaches to analyze written, vocal, or sign language use,
or any significant semiotic event.
*grounded theory – is a systematic methodology in the social sciences involving the
construction of theories through methodical gathering and analysis of data.
CAQDAS offers tools that assist with qualitative research such as transcription analysis, coding
and text interpretation, recursive abstraction, content analysis, discourse analysis, grounded
theory methodology, etc.
Pros
1. Saving time, managing huge amounts of qualitative data.
2. Increased flexibility
3. Having improved validity and auditability of qualitative research
4. Being freed from manual and clerical tasks.
Cons
5. Include increasingly deterministic and rigid processes, privileging of coding and
retrieval methods
6. Reification of data, increased pressure on researchers to focus on volume and
breadth rather than on depth and meaning
7. Time and energy spent learning to use computer packages
8. Increased commercialism
9. Distraction from the real work analysis.
 1. MAXQDA – serves to provide insights into qualitative data sets without suggesting
interpretations. (based on content analysis)
2. QDA software (QDA) – relies on various methods for systematizing, organizing, and
analyzing non-numeric data, such as those used in Grounded Theory, mixed method analysis, group
discussions, etc.

 Multimethodology and mixed methods research are desirable and feasible because they
provide a more complete view, and because the requirement during the different phases of
an intervention (or research project) make very specific demands on a general
methodology. While it is more demanding, it is more effective to choose the right tool for
the job at hand.
