Charting
This included two stages; the first stage is a progression from
indexing, where important ideas were grouped into categories, based on
the researcher’s interpretation. This process was preformed jointly by
two researchers. Discussions between researchers verified the emerging
categories. When interpretations differed, a third researcher was
consulted and the issue was further discussed until a decision was made.
Finally, the emerging categories were grouped into classes. Three
researchers performed this process separately and then approved one
final version.
