The SurveyGold application now provides support for researchers who want to analyze their open-ended response data using coding techniques.
Coding is the process of organizing and sorting your open-ended response data. Codes serve as a way to label, compile and organize your data.
To use coding techniques, a survey author:
Coding is the process of organizing and sorting your open-ended response data. Codes serve as a way to label, compile and organize your data.
To use coding techniques, a survey author:
- Creates an open-ended question as part of their survey
- Conducts the survey, collecting responses to the open-ended question
- Adds a code question to the survey, after the survey is concluded, and adds initial anticipated codes as response choices to the code question
- Uses the Edit All Responses for a Question action to review all open-ended response choices and selects appropriate codes at the same time
- Produces graphs of codes via the View Results tab or by converting code responses to another data format for use by other applications
Note: The ability to add new codes while reviewing the open-ended responses is fully supported. This improves the researcher experience and optimizes workflow by making it easy to add new codes without leaving the reviewing feature.
Where To Find the New Feature
The Edit All Responses for a Question action in the Analyze Results tab is where the new feature lives. It provides the ability to edit all of the responses to a multiple choice question containing code choices while viewing all of the open-ended responses from another question. For researchers, this provides an easy way to code responses to open-ended questions by selecting from a list of code responses while viewing the open-ended responses. The ability to quickly add a new response to the list of responses is also provided.
