Appendix 3: Coding frameworks for free-text questions 249 Appendix 3 Coding frameworks for free-text questions Coding framework for survey question 30 This question asked students, ‘Please can you describe in one or two sentences what you think the Holocaust was’. The content of each student’s response was coded to indicate whether their answers contained reference to the: ■■ victim(s) of the Holocaust ■■ perpetrator(s) of the Holocaust ■■ action(s) of the Holocaust ■■ date when the Holocaust took place ■■ scale of the Holocaust (for example how many Jews were killed). Students’ answers were coded in relation to each element using the following codes: ■■ Code 0: There is no reference to the element – either correct or incorrect, meaning that this aspect of definition is simply not there. ■■ Code 1: The student has referred to the element, but the reference is incorrect and/or nebulous and/or lacks clarity and/or is missing a critically important component (for example, under ‘action’ no mention of purposeful killing is made). ■■ Code 2: There is relevant and ‘broadly accurate’ reference to the element. (Note that we wanted to use this coding system to examine the content of students’ answers and determine if the content was broadly relevant. Thus we were lenient when assigning this code and acknowledge that, where we assigned this code, students’ answers were not always strictly historically accurate). Additional coding After doing the element coding, we went through students’ definitions to determine how many of them referred to countries where the Holocaust happened, and if so which country or countries were identified. Students were only asked to give a description of the Holocaust, but where they had also provided an explanation for the Holocaust occurring, these answers were highlighted for further examination. Answers were also highlighted for further examination if they explicitly recognised the Holocaust as the intent to kill all Jews everywhere, that is the student demonstrated that they understood the totality of the genocidal intent of the Holocaust. www.ioe.ac.uk/holocaust
