Longitudinal Qualitative analysis of Interaction using Transana
Paul Dempster Nicolas Sheon David Woods
This paper will present a software tool, Transana, that facilitates qualitative analysis of themes and patterns of interaction both within a single recorded event as well as across multiple events recorded at different time points. We will focus on what Card et. al. (1999) and Pea (2006) refer to as "using vision to think" in exploring the tool's graphical reports that display the patterns of coding across time, both within a single media file and across multiple media files in longitudinal analysis.
This methodological discussion will be grounded in a discussion of Sheon's work with AIDS counseling sessions. First, we will discuss his exploration of the changes of behavior in novice counselors following an experimental change in session flow as revealed by analysis using Transana. Second, we will describe a model for self-supervision and practice-based teaching over time, based on the graphical video analysis tools provided by Transana, that can be generalized to a wide variety of fields and practices.
