Stages of analysis | Description of the procedure |
---|---|
Open coding | Coding of the material line by line, aiming at clarifying the meaning of the message, its discursive effects, and its conditions of implementation |
Axial coding | Structuring of generated concepts (i.e., open coding) around as few axes as possible through memo-writing for the identification of an underlying consistency in the individuals’ concerns and actions |
Selective coding | Integrating identified axes of actions (i.e., axial coding) into an overarching category, which shapes and contributes to a broader scope of the study findings. |
