Data Analysis: Manuel Coding
Task 1
Data analysis is a challenging and significant aspect of qualitative research. Manual coding will be a considerable approach to data analysis. Coding involves significant steps in data analysis. For this case of analysis data collected from pre-test and post-test results of viewing photos by travellers. The coding will get conducted by selecting the segments of text from both the tests using numbering in the online surveys. This idea will help to highlight the quotes from participants. The colour would be used to highlight the quote based on the developed themes. The colour would extract similar quotes with the same identity, phrases. Nvivo software will be used to transcripts and developed the needed ideas (Basit, 143).
Task 2
The credibility of data involves the researcher describing the necessary aspect of the research. Thus, for the researcher to ensure transferability and dependability during data coding it needs legitimate and credible legitimately judge the credibility of the input or participants. This is done by doing generalization of data. Here, the researcher should describe the research contexts, assumption and the main argument of the research. Thus, it will make sure that during the transcriptions of data, the researcher would be key to collect the necessary data for analysis. For dependability as qualitative research, emphasis on the account for ever-researching (Basit, 146). Thus, the researcher should describe the settings and the affected changes as he/she transfer data. Additionally, the researcher should point about the relevance of the information being omitted in the construction of themes and data transcriptions form data coding.
