4. Computerized data analysis
In recent years software has been developed which can help with the analysis of qualitative data. Essentially they work on the principle of assist with the process of categorisation then collecting together items of information which appear to match under the given categories.
The packages, if properly used, can save the researcher a great deal of time but a fair amount of human input is still required to identify and check categorisation.
Dr Nahed Kandeel

5. Computerized data analysis
They also require transcripts to be prepared on a computer and some novices, may not have access to the IT resources necessary for computer analysis.
Some of the most well known software packages are listed below.
ATLAS
NVivo
NUD*IST
Ethnograph

6. Manual Data Analysis
Burnard’s fourteen stages of analysing interview transcripts (Burnard 1991).
Burnard’s method is based on a synthesis between grounded and content analysis approach. This method was used to categorize and code the transcribed interview data.

8. Burnard’s 14 stages for analysing qualitative interview
Description
Stage
Writing memos after each interview to help categorizing the data later on
Stage one
Immersion in the data by reading through the transcript again and again with notes made
Stage two
Dr Nahed Kandeel

9. Burnard’s 14 stages for analysing qualitative interview
Reading through the transcript and try to generate headings or categories and written it down through the transcript.
Stage three
Listing of the categories to avoid categories collapsing
Stage four
Develop new list for categories and subheadings
Stage five
Dr Nahed Kandeel

10. Burnard’s 14 stages for analysing qualitative interview
Validate the categories by asking two college to read through the transcript and independent categories
Stage six
Read the transcript along side the agreed list of categories to ensure that the categories covered all aspect of the interviews
Stage Seven
Work the transcript against the agreed list and subheading. By using colour highlighting pens to distinguish each category and the piece of transcript related to it
Stage eight
Dr Nahed Kandeel

11. Burnard’s 14 stages for analysing qualitative interview
Cut out the transcript according to the coding categories and collecting each coded section in file
Stage nine
Past the cut out sections onto sheets headed up with categories and sub categories
Stage ten
Check whether the quotations fit with categories Keep all the complete interviews and all section in a file together for direct reference
Stage eleven
Dr Nahed Kandeel

12. Burnard’s 14 stages for analysing qualitative interview
Writing up process, starting section by section
Stage thirteen
Deciding wither or not writing the finding with or without the discussion
Stage fourteen
