The aim of my study was to see the effectiveness of my selected literature teaching method in my classroom. There were 24 students in class so I divided them into four groups of six members each. I narrowed down my purpose and gave to my students several tasks to see the effectiveness of this method with regards to 1. students' creative writing skills 2. their Critical thinking strategy, 3.their other language skills like reading, discussing, 4. and their general opinion about this method. The response of my students are open ended. I first noted down the response of my students collectively with respect to their groups as "Group A said about this method "fantastic", G-B, innovative, etc. I also got their individual responses.
Now the data provides me in-depth knowledge. I'm confused how should I analyse my data systematically.
I need your guidance to analyse and interpret my data.
Thanks in advance.
There are many and different methods. I would advise you to deeply read john creswell’s book titled “qualitative inquiry & research design choosing among five approaches".
I would go for themes' establishment and start analyzing descriptively. I once used themes in my PhD and I found it easy to analyze my data, but like Abdulmajeed says, there are plenty more of methods that you can use which are a dependent on the type of study that you were conducting
Dear Sabah Zaib,
The French Discourse Analysis (Pêcheux, Les Vérités la Palice) uses the method of Carlo Ginzburg (Clues, Myths and historical Method), with a research strategy based on reading clues and traces that reveal hidden information.
I wish you success in your search!
