Although some qualitative researchers disagree agree with such application, a link between the qualitative and quantitative fields is successfully established through data collection and coding procedures.ĭata Collection and Analysis: Narrative data were collected from a random sample of 528 undergraduate students and 28 professors.įindings: The calculation of the kappa statistic, weighted kappa statistic, ANOVA Binary Intraclass Correlation, and Kuder-Richardson 20 is illustrated through a fictitious example. Purpose: This paper presents quantitative methods for determining the reliability of conclusions from qualitative data sources. With respect to qualitative research, measurement typically occurs during the coding process.


Background: Measurement is a indispensable aspect of conducting both quantitative and qualitative research and evaluation.
