“Much qualitative research produces little new knowledge. We argue that this is largely due to deficits of analysis”.
Joan Eakin (former founding director of CQ) and Brenda Gladstone (current CQ director) discuss how to exploit the distinctive powers of insight of qualitative methodology, beyond cataloguing data into pre-existing concepts and scouting for themes in a new article, titled, “Value-adding” Analysis: Doing More With Qualitative Data. The authors take a critical approach to qualitative analysis, drawing upon years of experience developing and teaching qualitative analysis and interpretation, a core course in CQ’s ‘Essentials of Qualitative Research’ course series.
