定性研究过程中最重要的步骤之一是数据分析。本文的目的是提供了解多种类型的定性数据分析技术的要素,以及利用多种类型的分析的重要性,从而利用数据分析三角测量,以便更全面地了解学校心理学研究及其他领域的现象。作者描述了七种定性分析工具:不断比较的方法,在上下文中的关键词,单词计数,经典的内容分析,域分析,分类分析和成分分析。然后,作者概述了何时使用每种类型的分析。在这样做时,作者使用真实的定性数据来帮助区分各种类型的分析。此外,还提供了流程图和表格,以帮助说明何时选择每种分析类型。最后,计算机辅助软件在定性数据分析过程中的作用进行了讨论。因此,使用本文中概述的分析应该有助于提高定性研究的严谨性。
One of the most important steps in the qualitative research process is analysis of data. The purpose of this article is to provide elements for understanding multiple types of qualitative data analysis techniques available and the importance of utilizing more than one type of analysis, thus utilizing data analysis triangulation, in order to understand phenomenon more fully for school psychology research and beyond. The authors describe seven qualitative analysis tools: methods of constant comparison, keywords-in-context, word count, classical content analysis, domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, and componential analysis. Then, the authors outline when to use each type of analysis. In so doing, the authors use real qualitative, data to help distinguish the various types of analyses. Furthermore, flowcharts and tables are provided to help delineate when to choose each type of analysis. Finally, the role of computer-assisted software in the qualitative data-analytic process is discussed. As such, use of the analyses outlined in this article should help to promote rigor in qualitative research.
