Loudspeaker icon Data collection and the 'tidal wave' of data

How Frances undertook the data collection and the enormous amount of data she created.

Loudspeaker icon Approaching the data analysis

Early attempts to analyse the data.

Loudspeaker iconTemplate Analysis

This approach to analysis was used by Frances and it involves developing a 'template' or coding scheme of themes about the data and organising the themes into a meaningful structure. These themes are identified in a variety of ways including looking at the data. This template is then used to code and analyse the whole data set.

Loudspeaker iconVideos on Revision of the Template

Frances revised the template twice. The video material here looks at how and why she did this. In particular it examines how she used the templates to refine her ideas about the data she had collected and what her respondents were telling her.
