DATA COLLECTION

THROUGH
AN INTERVIEW
• Several methodologies are done in order to ensure
the success of the
research. One of the methods used in research is
the interview. Interview is the
process of gathering data by throwing questions
directly to the respondents by the researcher.
• Fox (2000) stresses that an “interview is an
important data gathering technique involving
verbal communication between the researcher and
the subject.” Basically, the data can be gathered
first hand from the respondents through the
interview.
INFERRING AND
EXPLAINING
PATTERNS AND
THEMES FROM DATA
To analyze qualitative data, Colaizzi’s
data reduction technique can be used.
Below are the steps.
1. Familiarization of Raw Data

Familiarization of raw data refers to reading the


transcripts again, one by one, very carefully, line by
line before finalizing and finding for meanings and
patterns. To duly understand the data, quickly
browse through all transcripts as a whole. Make
notes about the first impressions.
2. Identification of Significant Statement
• The researchers will highlight word or
phrases which are significant to the research
questions of the study. These significant
words or phrases help the researcher to
understand the phenomenon under study.
Below is an example.
3. Formulation of Meaning of the Significant
Statements

• Take each significant statement and try


to reveal its meaning and understand
participant’s own terms. The following
steps can be followed.
• a. Examine the highlighted words or phrases
• b. Look for an idea that captures the meaning of
the highlighted words or phrases
• c. Consider the context in the formulation of
meaning of highlighted words or phrases
4. Formulation of Themes
• Theme refers to an over-all idea of the formulated
meaning of the significant words or phrases. A theme can
be a word or words that can be helpful to the analysis.
The following steps can be followed.
• 1. Examine the formulated meaning or pattern.
• 2. Look for an idea or expression that captures the pattern
of the formulated meaning. The idea or expression is
considered a theme.
• The formulation of theme is flexible
heavily dependent on the researchers
interpretation, and prior knowledge and
context the study. Below is an
illustration.
5. Formulation of Complete Description of the
Phenomenon

• The researcher writes a full and


comprehensive description of the
phenomenon, incorporating all the themes
produced at step 4 and can be submitted to
the teacher for any corrections and
modification
6. Development of Most Essential Descriptions of the
Phenomenon

• Compress and shorten the extensive


descriptions of the phenomenon down to a
precise and solid statement which holds the
most essential description. A concise
description may now develop.
7. Verification of the Most Essential Descriptions of the
Phenomenon by Research Participants
• Take your findings back to the participants and ask them
if these captured their experiences. The researcher will
then incorporate any corrections made by the
participants. To present the result section, the following
steps can be followed
• a. State the theme
• b. Interpret the finding or theme based on the context of the study
• c. Incorporate verbatim transcript to support the finding or theme
• d. A verbatim transcript must be translated to a language more
understandable by the academic community
• e. In the inclusion of the verbatim transcript, as much as possible include the
file name, page number and line number for an ease of access to the original
transcript.
