El énfasis del módulo se fundamenta en las preocupaciones centrales, en las temáticas de la investigación educativa reciente y en las estrategias metodológicas más utilizadas, sin entrar a analizar la metodología de la investigación en sí, ya que, en lo que a paradigmas metodológicos y a la lógica de la investigación se refiere, no se dan diferencias significativas en relación con la investigación social. Tampoco existen diferencias con respecto a las herramientas estadísticas utilizadas por la investigación social y sicológica.
O objetivo deste texto é o de sistematizar e oferecer um conjunto de orientações práticas sobre a técnica da Análise de Conteúdo, elemento importante do conjunto das metodologias de investigação social.
O SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) é uma aplicação de tratamento estatístico de dados. Esta aplicação torna a análise estatística de dados acessível para o utilizador casual e conveniente para o utilizador mais experiente.
efore presenting MAYRING's qualitative content analysis, a short overview of the basic assumptions and definitions of qualitative
research will be given.
"word qualitative implies an emphasis on the qualities of entities and on processes and meanings that are not experimentally examined or measured
(if measured at all) in terms of quantity, amount, intensity, or frequency"
4.2.2 Philipp MAYRING's approach
short introduction to the main points of MAYRING's qualitative content analysis. Its development (Section
4.2.2.1), basic ideas (Section 4.2.2.2), procedures (Section 4.2.2.3) and quality criteria
following definition of qualitative content analysis: "an approach
of empirical, methodological [sic!] controlled analysis of texts within their context of communication, following content
analytical rules and step by step models, without rash quantification"
the strength of qualitative content analysis is that it is strictly controlled methodologically and that the material
is analyzed step-by-step. Central to it is a category system which is developed right on the material employing a theory-guided
procedure
we said that qualitative content analysis aims to preserve the advantages of quantitative content analysis but at
the same time apply a more qualitative text interpretation (see Section 4.2.2.1). MAYRING (2003, pp.42-46) emphasizes the
following central points:
MAYRING has developed a sequential model of qualitative content
analysis and puts forward three distinct analytical procedures which may be carried out either independently or in combination,
depending on the particular research question
4.2.2.3 Method and procedures
Obviously, the central part of the process—structuring—is derived from classical content analysis, because here, too, units
of coding and evaluation are set up and arranged in a schema of categories
Figure 1 shows the basic proceeding of qualitative content analysis from the initial theory to the final analysis and interpretation.
Going into greater detail, this process of MAYRING's qualitative content analysis can also be divided into nine different
stages
