Pre-coding your interview data is a process that involves reading, questioning, and engaging with your data before formally beginning the official coding process. This assignment's primary goal is to review the information gathered during your 2 interviews and look for specific details. In addition, for this assignment, you will complete the Recommended Practice 9.1 Precoding memo of Ravitch & Carl.

 

After reviewing the Reading and Study material for this module and conducting your outside research, complete the following tasks

1. Complete the Recommended Practice 9.1 Precoding Memo

2. Areas to address in this memo include:

Emerging learnings

Lingering questions

Reactivity

Ideas/thoughts about potential codes

How do the emerging learnings map onto or challenge my theoretical or conceptual frameworks?

What literature do I need to consult/reread? 3. Identify potential coding approaches to address data segments for category, theme, and pattern development. Provide a rationale for why you might use each of your chosen approaches.
