Mills (2014) shares in Chapter 6, “the interpretation of qualitative data is the researcher’s attempt to find meaning, to answer the ‘So what?’ in terms of the implications of the study’s findings” (p. 133).  He adds that data analysis and interpretation is “. . . a process of digesting the contents of your qualitative data and finding related threads in it” (133). Explain your process for coding and categorizing the qualitative data.  What patterns and/or themes did you discover?  Answer the “So What” for your team of teacher-researchers based on your findings. What steps does your team need to take to address these issues before implementing the innovation of a flipped classroom?

Pages 138-139 in Action Research: A Guide for the Teacher Researcher provide an example of coding from a transcript.
