Rogers (2010) chapter on qualitative analysis described many useful and practical methods to help use this tool effectively and efficiently. The purpose of this essay is to examine this book chapter and address the important and key issues that are presented in the literature. This essay will also provide practical examples of the information presented in this argument from federal agencies to help contextualize the information and to demonstrate the practicality of its methods at a governmental level.
Rogers proposed a complex systematic framework for analyzing qualitative data for evaluation in this chapter. He created the mnemonic PPOIISED to help guide this process. He stated that this mnemonic " is intended to remind users of three different meanings of the word poised in that good qualitative data analysis finds an appropriate balance between compteting imperatives, uses strategies that are focused on action, and has a sense of assurance based on a systematic approach and considered choices " (p.430). The remainder of the chapter goes into great detail explaining each one of these principles and how they can contribute to a method of analysis.
PPOIISED stands for triggers for important questions that the researcher needs to be asking to validate the data. The following trigger words are used to help the researcher remember the method:
-Purposes
-Paradigms
-Options
-Interpretations
-Iterations
-Standards
-Ethics
Purposes: This keyword holds the most importance in the system. Researchers need to have a clear and definable purpose before beginning any type of analysis. The quality of information must be viewed through a purposeful lens in order to give it meaning.
Paradigms: It appears that research has transcended a bipolar paradigm where either all data was entirely qualitative or quantitative. Today's approach is much more of a hybrid. Paradigms are larger pictures in which the data must be viewed in order to hold any relevance. Federal agencies tend to resort back to the days of bipolarity. This is however inherent within governmental institutions where the idea of governance is bipolar in nature. The two poles consist of the government and the governed where, the government assumes a position of divine righteousness and infallibility within its edicts.
Options: Creativity is very important when doing research. The many options that govern any research question can be very helpful in opening up new avenues of discussion. On the other hand options appear to present an unlimited…

In order to accomplish this task, the net cost per student will be calculated and compared to the desired outcomes of the program. In order to be beneficial and worthwhile, the benefits of the program must not dramatically outweigh the costs of the program. Cost:benefit analysis will help to determine if the program is beneficial enough to continue. Resources The cost: benefit analysis will help to determine if the expenditures for
