“…After receiving feedback on these initial categories and their definitions from two reviewers, I enlisted a colleague unfamiliar with the dataset to analyze the data independently using the constant comparative approach. Previous research attests to the benefits of using multiple analysts at this point in data analysis (Berends & Johnston, 2005). We met to review and compare one another's categories, offer feedback on them, and discuss possible definitions.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate college teachers' experiences of relational turning points with their students, as well as how these turning point events may affect teacher outcomes. Teachers who were able to identify a relational turning point event with a student (n 0306, 78.5% of the overall sample) completed open-and closedended questions about the event. Analysis of participants' responses yielded four distinct supracategories of relational turning point events, comprised of consultation, transgression, intimation, and realization of student potential or success. Teachers who reported intimation and realization of student potential or success turning point events also indicated increased liking for students, teacherÁstudent interpersonal relationships, teacher self-efficacy, teacher motivation, and teacher job satisfaction. Teachers who reported transgression turning points indicated decreased liking for students, teacher motivation, and teacher job satisfaction. Teachers who reported consultation turning point events indicated either increased or decreased teacher outcomes depending on the nature of the event. At the end of the article, readers are invited to engage in reflective practice and move to action regarding the findings of this study.

“…Our approach enabled team members to share individual impressions of the interviews, cross-check the coding of the data, and collectively refine the interview guide and coding scheme. Our experience aligns with evidence that team approaches to qualitative research can enhance methodological rigour of design, analysis, and interpretation (Barry et al, 1999;Berends & Johnston, 2005). Compared with individuals working alone, teams can better establish a standardized coding process with enhanced accuracy (Delaney & Ames, 1993), incorporate different perspectives (Liggett, Glesne, Johnston, Hasazi, & Schattman, 1994), and bring the analysis to a richer level of conceptual thinking and interpretation (Barry et al, 1999;Oleson, Droes, Hatton, Chico, & Schatzman, 1994).…”

“…Two primary analysts reviewed the coding of all 22 interviews for five of the 10 main coding categories and cross-checked their coding according to the final coding scheme. Coding agreement between analysts was not essential; rather, group discussion led to heightened data interrogation and added thoroughness to the analysis (Barry et al, 1999;Berends & Johnston, 2005). Group discussion can result in team reflexivity where members share their experiences, assumptions, and interpretations, dually enhancing intellectual rigour as well as team morale (Barry et al, 1999).…”

The purpose of this article is to describe our experience using a qualitative team approach and predetermined theoretical framework to assess sensibility of a newly developed HIV disability questionnaire. Two interviewers conducted structured qualitative interviews with 22 adults living with HIV, asking participants how well the questionnaire characterized the disability they experienced living with HIV. Data collection and analysis occurred over six stages with four analysts who met throughout. Strengths of our approach included the ability to assess the sensibility of the questionnaire from the perspective of adults living with HIV, collect and analyze data across multiple sites, establish a systematic team analytical process, and enhance rigour through multiple coding, team reflexivity, and interviewer and analyst triangulation. Challenges included increased resources required to coordinate and implement this approach, differential recruitment rates, initial divergent analytical styles, and the potential to miss emerging codes given the structured nature of the analysis. This article offers a methodological process for researchers to use a qualitative team approach with directed content analysis to assess the sensibility of a new health status questionnaire.

“…When multiple coders are used, additional time is required. In addition, each researcher has preferences in interpretation of data (Berends and Johnston, 2005). These partialities can be valid, but are often dependent on the coder's understanding of the context.…”
