¶ … Second Cycle Coding
In this week's reading from the course text Qualitative Data Analysis: A Methods Sourcebook, the authors explain the process of coding data in two distinct cycles, First and Second Cycle Coding. For this Discussion, you will analyze the relationship between First and Second Level Coding. It is at this stage that the answers to the study's objectives and questions take shape (i.e., helps structure) and create a more defined direction to data analysis. Since data collected through qualitative methods are characteristically text-heavy, specific coding methods are developed to align to the different kinds of data and methods of collection, and in effect, to respond to the research objectives and questions put forth by the researcher.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Miles, Huberman, and Saldana explain the structures of First and Second Level Coding. To what extent can having such a structure help or hinder a researcher?
What First Level Coding methods did you use to analyze data?
Where the First Cycle coding methods helpful in finding Pattern Codes in the data?
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a response of 2 -- 3 paragraphs in which you analyze the relationship between First and Second Cycle Coding Methods for qualitative data analysis. Share which First Cycle coding method(s) you used and if this method helped find patterns in the data.

In understanding the issue of human trafficking, specifically the gender differences between male and female victims of human trafficking, it is important to put dimensions into concepts and processes related to human trafficking. Since the qualitative domain of the study provides a deeper understanding of the issue, First Cycle methods that the researcher considers appropriate to the study are structural and in vivo coding (Saldana, 2009:66, 74).
The researcher considers structural coding as a necessary coding method for the study's qualitative data because it provides triangulation of data as both quantitative and qualitative approaches are employed in the study. Qualitative data will be culled out from the interviews of human trafficking victims, the key informants of the study. However, there is also a quantitative component to the study, wherein the researcher also analyzes existing data and statistics on human trafficking, both at the international and domestic scales. Quantitative data from various studies and statistical sources could then be used as the frame from which codes will be developed and organized. Coding qualitative data in a structured manner and patterned after variables and factors meaningful to quantitative data on human trafficking could provide the researcher's analysis more substance and insight. Statistics and numbers could demonstrate that the results can be applied in general to the population under study (males and females who are victims of human trafficking), while insights and ideas from text/interviews could provide a deeper understanding or more substance to the numbers or statistics presented.
In in vivo coding, the researcher will look deeper into concepts and terms that are unique or salient in defining and illustrating the experiences of human trafficking victims. Giving another dimension to the study is the inclusion of a gender analysis, wherein differences and similarities between the male and female experiences in human trafficking are further dissected and explored. Through in vivo coding, the research could
However, the company did feel it should develop its own Database infrastructure that would work with the new underlying database management system and would mesh with existing organizational skills and the selected enterprise software solution. Because the company followed a standardized implementation process, they were able to successfully reengineer their existing business structure. The objective of the System Development Life Cycle is to help organizations define what an appropriate system

Next, the researcher will conduct a query of the computer awareness of education administrators, teachers, parents, and students in the New Orleans school district, then evaluation of documented data will provide a research base of the required elements needed to consider while developing a framework that can be used as a guide by educational leaders and parents for the protection of children at school and at home.

The greater the functionality of the tag the higher the frequency required to communicate the contents of it, hence the spectrum of frequencies shown in Figure 3, Comparison of RFID Frequencies. Figure 3: Comparison of RFID Frequencies Sources: (Cheung, Chu, Du, 2009) (Wang, Wang, 2009) The greater the frequency of a given set of tags the greater the flexibility and the more data they are often capable of storing, capturing as they
In other words, as coding begins, testing begins and continues as a parallel process to the coding activity. Even when the installation process has begun, testing should continue. Installation is the process of actually replacing the current system or programs with the new system or programs. Thus, coding, testing, and installation processes create several deliverables that can be used as signoff points for management. The testing and implementation process should
