Week 4 dq 1 – Case studies employ various sources of data to examine a particular case of a phenomenon in-depth. Different sources of data may require an analytical approach other than thematic analysis. If you were to use archival documents or artifacts as sources of data in a case study for which conventional thematic analysis may not be appropriate, how would you analyze those data? Justify your view. What relevance is there to the sequence for the analysis of multiple sources of data such as individual interviews? field observations, and archival documents? Explain.
WEEK 4 DQ 2 – As mentioned in the first discussion question in this topic, different data sources in case studies may require analytical approaches different from thematic analysis. After analyzing the sources of data, you will need to triangulate preliminary findings from each data source to develop an integrated set of findings as final results. What are the analytic procedures you would use to triangulate these different sources of data? Explain. What are the difference and significance of triangulation to corroborate versus complement preliminary findings from multiple sources of data? Support your view. How do these procedures and differences relate to epistemological requirements? Explain.
