Jaime L Fiddler—Chapter 16 • Listening Deeply: Indexing Research Conversations in a Narrative Inquiry • Analyzing and Interpreting Qualitative Research: After the Interview

Jaime L Fiddler describes the interpretive process she developed to analyze interview data as part of a year-long narrative inquiry with a group of mid-career teachers. Dr. Fiddler did most of her interpretive work during a set of "deep listenings." Dr. Fiddler did not transcribe the data after each research conversation. She listened to audio tapes of the group's previous research conversation before facilitating the next monthly interview.  By listening deeply, Dr. Fiddler was able to engage with the whole of the conversation within the context of her and the teachers' mutual relationships.  

Dr. Fiddler indexed this recorded dialogue with a set of notecards and transcribed small parts of the research conversations based on the interpretations she developed by listening and speaking to the teachers in her study.  Her chapter provides a set of step-by-step methods to interpret interview data ontologically aligned with narrative inquiry.
