Feedback:
Researchers' search for themes, regularities, and patterns in the data can sometimes be facilitated by charting devices that enable them to summarize the evolution of behaviors, events, and processes. Detailed coding and computer software are tasks involved in data management and organization, not in the search for themes. Quasi-statistics are used to validate and refine themes, not to facilitate the search for them.
