Answer 1

Ans) Process of interpreting qualitative research:

1) Transcribe all the audio / verbal data into text.
2) Organize the textual data into records & do the needed filing (for ease of future retrieval).
3) Do the coding on the textual data based on topics, themes, concepts, ideas, keywords, terms, phrases etc.
4) Do the needed qualitative data analysis e.g. grounded theory (inductive approach), framework analysis (deductive approach) etc.
5) Write the report.
