Qualitative Research as Stepwise-Deductive Induction

By Aksel Tjora

Book Overview

This book provides detailed and direct guidance on various forms of data generation and analysis, presenting a model for the research process in which inductive detailed data analysis and generalisation through the development of concepts are central. Based on an inductive principle, which begins with raw data and moves towards concepts or theories through incremental deductive feedback-loops, the 'stepwise-deductive induction' approach advanced by the author focuses on the analysis phase in research. Concentrating on creativity, structuring of analytical work, and collaborative development of generic knowledge, it seeks to enable researchers to extend their insight of a subject area without having personally to study all the data generated throughout a project.
