Define quotations & codebook Sample Clauses

Define quotations & codebook. In the study under consideration, the coders used pre- defined quotations. In this way, once the interviews were transcripted, researcher R1 chopped the data into its unit segments that remain unalterable during the subsequent phases. In parallel, R1 elaborated a codebook by collecting all the available codes and their aggregation into semantic domains. After completing the codebook, R1 also created a guide with detailed instructions about how to use the codebook and how to apply the codes. The design of the codebook is accomplished through two different approaches: a deductive approach [31] for creating semantic domains and an inductive approach (grounded theory) [6] for creating codes. In the first phase, the deductive approach, R1 created a list of of semantic domains in which codes will be grouped inductively during the second phase. These initial domains integrate concepts known in the literature. For domains related to RQ1 (problems), each domain is named P01, P02, P03, etc. For domains related to RQ2 (results), each domain is named R01, R02, R03, etc. Domains were written with uppercase letters (see Figure 4).
