Using quantitative accounts in my qualitative study: does it necessitate hypothesis formulation at the beginning of the study
Home›Forums›Default Forum›Using quantitative accounts in my qualitative study: does it necessitate hypothesis formulation at the beginning of the study
The primary data of my qualitative study consist in a video record I analyse using CA. If I provide descriptive frequency account of a recurrent phenomenon (that i noticed when writing the transcript, i.e., emerged from the data itself) under the form of numerical data , am I obliged to formulate, at the begining of the study, hypotheses about the coded categories identified in the frequency accounts?
