Qualitative Data Coding Process

Provide the results of your coding process, using a diagram to present your findings. Your diagram could be in a matrix format (table) or a concept chart (node network). Refer to your assigned readings on diagramming or other resources explaining how to graphically display qualitative findings.

Your submitted report should include the following:

• Description of your coding process
• Topical coding scheme (list of topics; code book)
• Diagram of findings (topics and themes)
• Brief narrative summary of findings referring to your graphic diagram
• Appendix with coded transcripts in one of the following formats:
  • A Word document showing color-coded codes
  • A Word document using the comments function to indicate codes
  • An output file from qualitative software
