The analysis of qualitative research data Example ? A researcher collected observational data on immigrant children a second language while interacting with native speaker. ? The material collected was in the form of audio tapes of thevverbal interactions of the immigrant children with the native speakers in the classroom, working in small groups. ? The researcher was interested in observing: ? morphological and syntactic errors of the learners. ? reactions of the native speakers to these errors in a conversational context. ? In this research study two sets of data were collected, and each was analyzed separately. ? Both sets of data were analyzed qualitatively by the researcher identifying, sorting, extracting, and anizing the verbal interactions and then grouping them according to topic. ? However, each set of data was analyzed using a different type of qualitative analysis: ? the first set, the errors , was analyzed with the aid of anizing scheme. ? the second set, reactions of the native speakers, was analyzed by deriving categories from part of the data and then confirming them with the rest of the data. A description of steps the research followed in the process of analyzing the syntactic and morphological errors with the organizing scheme(technique b). ? researcher transcribe the tape data, so that he could focus directly on the morphological and syntactic errors of the learners. ? research on the types of morphological and syntactic errors made by immigrant children in their first year of residence in a new country already existed, the researcher took an ordering system which he found in the literature on error analysis and applied it to his own data. He then counted the frequencies errors for each of the categories in anizing scheme. ? analysis of the data led to the results of the study, which were the frequencies of errors in each of the categories listed in the organizing
