SoTL PD: Qualitative Analysis by Xinke Wan https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc Made with an aura of mystery en-us 2022-05-12 23:12:08 UTC 2025-11-10 16:30:34 UTC hello@padlet.com open-text responses (via surveys) and focus groups (data format: transcripts) https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2183502290 2022-05-13 23:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2183502290 Analyses were done by myself; in both cases it was inductive coding https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2183502678 2022-05-13 23:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2183502678 I provided a list of themes with some sample quotes for some represented themes that represented general group consensus https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2183502988 2022-05-13 23:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2183502988 If a PI doesn't offer a specific analysis plan or coding scheme, I'm not sure what else to do aside form thematic analysis. For the most part, this seems to answer the types of SoTL questions I work with but maybe there is another approach I should be considering? https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2183503555 2022-05-13 23:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2183503555 I've worked with interview transcript data and open text responses via survey and student assignments. https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184068387 2022-05-14 20:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184068387 i worked with open text responses via survey and student assignments (reflective essay) https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184169310 2022-05-15 01:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184169310 I felt frustrated to do inductive coding by myself and finally decided to use quantitative content analysis. Qualtrics produces attitude analysis for the open-ended text questions, I go through it and then use the attitude codes for quantitative analysis https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184171180 2022-05-15 01:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184171180 i summarized the results quantitatively https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184172258 The original research questions include: How do the students in each cohort feel about the course by the end of the term? Do they have any suggestions for the course and does the suggestion relate to the hybrid mode of delivery? What are the advantages and limitations of hybrid teaching?
FYI: the question in the survey is "Do you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or comments concerning the course? " 
I tried to answer those questions in the closure report but felt extremely unconfident in the results from my qual analysis. (also I now feel the question is not designed in a way possible to answer all the original questions, anyway...]]> 2022-05-15 01:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184172258 lack of experience of a serious and complete qual analysis experience, not sure about every step I do https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184177699 2022-05-15 01:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2184177699 https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2186295126 I have worked in focus groups and with one-on-one open-ended questions.]]> 2022-05-16 19:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2186295126 https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2186301620 The research team met in a group and discussed the responses, organized them into action items, and then decided which comments would be addressed in the next iteration of an online educational program.]]> 2022-05-16 19:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2186301620 https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2187804576 I have worked on projects with focus group and interview data using audio recording and transcripts]]> 2022-05-17 15:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2187804576 https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2187809590 picking a strategy with enough rigor, especially when the PI does not know what they want to do/ are from a quant background. ]]> 2022-05-17 15:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2187809590 https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2187811833 A written report of themes, with some quotes for context.]]> 2022-05-17 15:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/xinkewan0125/6l9tfjjo454xmlkc/wish/2187811833 I've worked with interview, focus group, and open-text responses.
