Qualitative Data Analysis

includes all non-numeric data - words, images, sound etc - found in such things as:
  • interview tapes
  • researchers' diaries
  • company documents
  • websites
  • developers' models

It is the main data or evidence generated by case studies, action research and ethnography.

Quantitative analysis can be used on qualitative data. For example, you could:

  • count the number of times a particular word or phrase occurs in some text
  • count the number of words or pages allocated to different topics on a website

Saya Bukanlah Doktor

Walaupun kita bukan doktor, tapi kita semua kena pentingkan kesihatan diri sendiri. Cari maklumat untuk bantu meningkatkan kesihatan diri.

Jadi kalau tahu ada sesuatu yang tak kena dengan kesihatan diri sendiri, jangan diam je. Berbuat sesuatu sebelum terlewat.

Sayangi Diri!
