5.2.5 Research Stages 
There are various suggestions to describe qualitative research stages. For 
example, Peter Gavora recommends
-
first to choose a research problem 
-
then to choose a target group 
-
then to start collecting data (stage called ´open coding) 
-
then to create categories 
-
then to keep collecting data to specify the created categories, categories not 
suitable are omitted, new categories are accepted and created 
- finally to look for relations among the categories 
(2002, 143) 
Selinger and Shohany (1990), and Denscombe (2003) provide some other useful 
suggestions that were, in my research, followed. 
In the next stage of qualitative data analysis, Martyn Densombe (2003, 271) indicates 
that the data should be broken down into units which will be used for creating 
categories and their codes, see appendix No.9. When the process of categorizing and 
coding is finished, it is recommended to go through the notes once more, as new things 
might emerge as relevant. (Denscombe 2003, 272) After reporting the research results, 
their interpretation and summary should follow. Selinger and Shohany claim, 
“Conclusion discusses the meaning of the research results.” (1990, 246) 
Up to this point, everything mentioned above was on the level of theories. But 
how was the reality reflected in my own research? The summary of all the research 
stages is listed to demonstrate the research progress. 
 
There were six stages in the whole research. Each stage, covering a particular 
time period, required different types of actions, although two actions appeared 
constantly: the action of reading and consulting various literature sources, and typing 
information on PC. The following list provides information about each stage, its actions

and its time period. To make the research description straightforward and short, the 
following format was decided for.
