Document Summary
04/04/2017: coding: aim to find patterns of many interviews/data. Codes can develop from the ground up by making categories and subcategories. Ian: used fewer codes when analyzing his data (10max) these codes were more separated from each other in order to produce more of statistical data. Induction: start w/ observations and bring theory out from these observations. Grounded theory: theory that comes out of induction. Questions @field are beforehand shaped by theory. One thinks that induction is pure perspective, but its biased from preparation and one"s own training and perspectives. Writing ethnographic field notes by emerson et. Open coding: look for patterns that come up from a large piece of text by condensing it this way begins the inductive process (notes of important/outstanding info. ) How texts are structured in themselves (attached to their cultures) important for indigenous texts as they might be far from western language families. Schemas: organizing information in a way that one doesn"t have to say everything.
