4.2: Stage 2: Analytical reviews of the five 'theoretically-imbued IMs (a@t 2 )In th<strong>is</strong> second stage of the process, I intend <strong>to</strong> analyse the IMs reflexively using the questionsthat a journal<strong>is</strong>t might ask: Who? What? When? W<strong>here</strong>? Why? To do th<strong>is</strong> I have overlain on theraw text, highlighters in different colours so as <strong>to</strong> create a different look. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> in keeping withthe phenomenological process described in 3.2 which requires analys<strong>is</strong> from differentperspectives <strong>and</strong> views. The colour coding system <strong>is</strong> as follows:Who?What?When?W<strong>here</strong>?Why?Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> a second level of reflection <strong>and</strong> <strong>is</strong> designed <strong>to</strong> look for patterns <strong>and</strong> trends in the IMs,t<strong>here</strong><strong>by</strong> postulating potentially <strong>some</strong> 'case study logic' (after Yin, 1994).<strong>It</strong> <strong>is</strong> a fact of h<strong>is</strong><strong>to</strong>ry that I dev<strong>is</strong>ed the journal<strong>is</strong>tic approach <strong>to</strong> the IMs in a tu<strong>to</strong>rial with GlynnKirkham coincidentally at the BETT Show in 2008. <strong>It</strong> should be noted that the first IM, writtenaround that <strong>time</strong>, <strong>is</strong> set out in that form making analys<strong>is</strong> more straight forward. The method wasattenuated in a tu<strong>to</strong>rial with Mark Hadfield in 2010, following a conversation with Neil Duncanwho advocated the 'stream of consciousness' approach <strong>to</strong> the recording of the IMs - it should benoted that I have not adopted that mode fully given the consideration made in section 2.2.7 aboutmemory. Accordingly the remaining narratives are written without form or logic which madethe super-imposition of the highlighting a more interesting <strong>and</strong> potentially more useful exerc<strong>is</strong>e.I have applied it in the latter stages of the research process in late 2011. <strong>It</strong> was only in the first'pass' of the exerc<strong>is</strong>e that I was able <strong>to</strong> define fully what I meant <strong>by</strong> each category. Before doinga second <strong>and</strong> more thorough 'pass' through the IMs, I wrote these definitions:225Simon Hughes Ph.D. Thes<strong>is</strong> (Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2012)
