2. Aim
Students are able to understand about manual
coding
Students are able to apply manual coding
Students are able to practise independently
related to manual coding on qualitative data
3. My supervisors told me “use your brain to cook
your data, please apply manual
codings”......................
(Najmah, research note, 2017)
5. What we will
learn today
Definition and examples of codes and
categories
The roles in qualitative data analysis
The importance of researcher’s reflection
in coding process
6. Important
notes
The manual coding does not subscribe to any
one specific research genre or methodology
No one, including myself, can claim final
authority on the utility of coding or the best
ways to analyse qualitative data
Coding is just one way of analysing qualitative
data, not the way
7. What isCode
A code in qualitative inquiry is most often a word or
short phrase that symbolically assigns a summative,
salient, essence-capturing, and/or evocative
attribute for a portion of language-based or visual
data
In qualitative data analysis, a code is a researcher-
generated construct that symbolised or
“translates” data and thus attributes interpreted
meaning to each individual datum for later purposes
of pattern detection, categorisation, assertion or
proposition development, theory building and
other analytic processes

12. ANALYTICAL
MEMO
WRITING
Analytic memo writing documents reflections on:Your
coding processes and code choices how the process of
inquiry is taking shape; the emergent patterns,
categories and sub-categories, themes, and concepts
in your data-all possibly leading toward theory
Memos are sites of conversation with ourselves about
our data (Clarke, 2005)
13. Example of
CODING
Through my drama experience I found a voice to express
the anger and hidden emotions that I was experiencing
at that time. It was life-saving therapy for me to yell and
scream and cry by becoming someone else- DRAMA
ASTHERAPHY
I had been sexually abused when I was 11 years old and
never told anyone until I was 30 and went through years
of counselling. When my family moved from [a west
coast state] when I was a sophomore, my data started
having an affair with a woman that he eventually
married in January 1978 after leaving our home in
November 1977 FAMILY INSTABILITY
14. Example of
CODING
When I was a junior, I sat in the doctor’s office as he
explained that although I was a perfectly normal,
healthy 17 year old, I would never be able to have
children. I had gone through an early menopause for
some unknown reason and started taking hormone
replacement therapy-which I still do to this day. My
mom, although she meant well, told me to never
anyone because they would look at me as “damaged
goods” “Damaged good”
That’s why I was never close with anyone in high school
because I was afraid they would find out the secrets
that I was hiding Hiding secret
