My learning style..

Soo.... this has been sat as a draft, and I have no idea why I didn't post it earlier.. hopefully it might still be helpful to someone now who is finding those last little bits of analysis.

Having identified in Module 1 that I am mostly a visual learner, with some kinesthetic elements, I chose to capitalize on this when analyzing my qualitative data.

I found it really hard with the sheer mount of data i collected to sort through everything and find what was not only relevant, but useful to my inquiry. Looking back on Module 1 helped me to realign myself and take a fresh look at how I would best analyse my data.

It might sound somewhat simplistic, but I chose a different coloured highlighter for each theme I discovered and systematically went through every interview transcript, marking each of these colours off.

It took a while but the benefit of this was huge as now I am in the stage of drafting a complete analysis and sending work for written feedback, the visual colors have made it so much easier to cross reference and draw together concluding statements.


Whilst there is about 80 pages of transcript, attaching this picture I made I wouldn't run into any ethical implications and continued to ensure anonymity. Thought
it might be helpful to visualise for some people what I was talking
about in the section above. I would strongly recommend it to
anyone who is still analysing as it really helps to see things from
a more basic visual stance.

I have a few more blogs stashed away in my drafts so will be uploading those in the coming week or so, seems a shame to waste them.

Hope everyone is doing well in the final hurdle
