Abstract

The process of data analysis in qualitative research can be a daunting process for early-career researchers. The ARISE Framework offers an operational guide with a set of questions reflecting the research question. The purpose of this paper is to implement a creative and systematic way of doing the research endeavour. As such, the ARISE Framework is an action-oriented approach that involves knowledge development, synthesis, and conceptualization within an interpretive-constructivist paradigm. The proposed framework consists of theoretical and practical procedures to conduct a methodologically sound analysis. Each stage of the framework opens a reflection on the art of qualitative data analysis through a five-stage approach. Optimization of this process includes revising the themes as they can evolve over time. Each prescriptive piece on carrying out the analysis will provide qualitative researchers with an in-depth understanding of data-generated insights.

Keywords: Qualitative data analysis, ARISE Framework
