Coding the first focus group

Well over the weekend and this morning i have been cutting up the transcript and categorising.

So far im looking at; depends on the individual; support - informal and formal; team dynamics; prioritisation; referrals; spring board/preparation; coping and managing and suitability. I no it seems like alot at the moment - but if i keep working through these ideas then im sure that main categories and subcatergories will develop.

But its been really exciting and ive been writing down my own questions alongside some ideas - and i have one member from the focus group (1) that i would like to re-interview in a semi structured interview style. I will talk about all this with my superviser.

I have identified some ideas that i think i could develop further - so thats promising!
I might write these down and have them handy for focus group 2 - just incase some of the same ideas are mensioned.

So focus group 2 is all booked in and ready to role next week - based on how much information i got in focus group 1 i bet il be in for some intense coding and analysiing post focus group 2! - but at least it will be exciting and interesting. Its awesome to have some "data to work with" that are "real" - and even better its great to know that all this work so far this year has lead to the data actually happening.

Cannot wait to have some "RESULTS" to get writing about !
