Practice question · Sort into groups
Sort each activity under the coding approach it belongs to.
Groups: Open coding · Axial coding
- Looking for relationships and connections between existing codes
- Labeling data with minimal preconceived categories
- Staying close to what is actually present in the text
- Building toward a more integrated structure among codes
Hints
- One approach creates codes from the raw text; the other links codes that already exist.
- Open coding generates the labels; axial coding wires them together.
Show the answer
Open coding: Labeling data with minimal preconceived categories, Staying close to what is actually present in the text
Axial coding: Looking for relationships and connections between existing codes, Building toward a more integrated structure among codes
Why
Open coding generates labels directly from the data with few preconceptions; axial coding then finds relationships among those codes, building toward an integrated structure. Open makes the pieces; axial connects them.
