• Describe the steps involved in developing and refining the coding system.
• Be able to list the options available for coding transcripts and managing the coded data.
• Describe the steps involved in sorting and analyzing coded transcripts.
• Appreciate the importance of building a theoretical model that integrates the themes identified in the coded transcripts.
• Understand the strategies used to create a report or publication.
• Discuss the options for disseminating your results.

Engagement Activities:

• Small group activity involving a focus group moderator’s guide and partial transcript. The group will use these materials to begin the process of developing a coding system. Once completed, we will discuss what we learned from this exercise.
• Small group exercise taking a transcript and coding quotes using a hierarchical coding system.
• Small group activity in which sorted coded quotes will be reviewed and discussed. The group will practice writing a paragraph to describe what they have learned about that particular theme from reading the quotes.
• Group discussion of theoretical models used to summarize the results of interviews and focus groups.
• Examine a list of qualitative research questions and discuss reporting and dissemination options.
