On the Sunday morning Skype we gave ourselves the task of giving a definition to what analysis is in terms of the course. Each person on the call is writing a definition below in the Comments. we are hoping you will add your thoughts to keep the conversation going .
Here are the elements we felt important to include when considering what analysis is:
1) Analysis is a construction of meaning through a process of translation and interpretation.
2) It isn't something in itself it is created by elements of the research (the people, data, inquirer...)
3) it is a process
4) in -> data, analysis processing -> out.......Data under-goes a transformation.
5) It is a bringing things together (to communicate something)
6) it is to be able to share where you are, to make the inquiry activity describable so you can share your thoughts.
7a) it relates to the future (where things are going for you).
7b) it is always emerging (emerging ideas).
