For this assignment you will code a set of narratives (transcript attached to this assignment)  to answer a research question: "What is the purpose of leadership from different perspectives?"  The coding scheme that you will develop must lead you to answering this specific research question. You will be reading and ‘making sense’ out of the transcript through the lens of what can the participants' experiences tell you about the research question?’ Another way to think about this is that you will be interrogating the transcripts with this research question. Also, you MUST use Word or Excel to code the transcripts and create the Code Book (use LaPelle or Taylor-Powell & Renner articles as a model). You can use highlighting, color-coding, annotation, comment function, tables, etc. If you do your coding by hand on paper with pencil, you will need to transfer this into a Word file. You will be asked to include the coded transcripts to the final paper. The report must include: Research sub-questions. The transcripts with the coding process (i.e. original text unitized; category codes; sorting of the categories into themes, and possibly relationships between themes). A coding scheme: explanation of your codes. Summary of your findings: What did you learn so far about your research question? Memo on how you moved from your codes to your findings. Reflection on the coding process: What do you think about coding? Where do you see gaps in your data? How does what you learned inform your thinking about your interview data? Note: A generic example of coding is attached for your reference. The coding was done with a different sub-question , so please only use it as a general guidance.
