Qualitative Data Analysis mind maps

Qualitative Data Analysis mind maps

These user-made maps offer different ways into the unit. Analysing Data (Qualitative) sets out inductive and deductive approaches, while Levels of Analysis looks at category construction. Other maps cover thematic analysis, data management and presenting analysis.

Choosing and using a map

Start with Analysing Data (Qualitative) if you want to compare approaches. Its branches give you a way to see how each approach is described. For a closer look at coding, the map called Coding outlines open, axial and selective coding. Using thematic analysis focuses on identifying and reporting patterns.

Read the branches, then cover them and try to recall the connections in your own words. Revisit any branch you find hard to explain. If you want to check your understanding with questions, switch to a quiz on the unit page; flashcards there offer another way to revisit terms.

Choose a map and follow the branches that interest you.
