Grappling with originality and grounding in qualitative data analysis
- Abstract:
- This chapter explores the challenges and opportunities inherent in grappling with originality and grounding in qualitative data analysis. It uses an example from my doctoral research, which involved analyzing data generated by a self-developed research tool designed to elicit context-specific vocabulary-related strategic behaviour from study abroad learners of English. Problems that arose include the inability of existing coding schemes to characterize the data, and the emergence as a key influence on participants’ strategic behaviour a variable not a priori addressed. These problems and the solutions applied to them are discussed and form the basis of a series of recommendations to researchers facing similar challenges.
