The researcher would use two methodologies for analyzing the data is collected; they are quantitative and qualitative. And s/he would probably write up summaries of the ethnographies she collected.
Quantitative data is looking at data/numbers in this study collected from specific sources. It might include demographics on the community, particular data related to the education system that the researcher wants to understand and add new information or underscores information related to education. Then the researcher can run some simple statistical analysis or more complex, complicated analysis like regression analysis.
Qualitative analysis information gathered from specific questions s/he may have asked key informants. The question could ask an informant to tell the researcher the background of cultural-ethnic groups in this community or another question be to ask for something specific to gender or childrearing. Then the researcher would create groupings, such as to the question regarding gender definitions, then s/he would state in the analysis that out of 100 people interviewed over six months, only four people did not respond to this question. And, the researcher might add a comment or footnote.
Ethnographies might be collected, summarized, and possibly used to point out something consistent or different. These stories probably are used to summarize some of the data collected.
And, don’t forget when in assembling research the following elements must be included; 1) what is the question, 2) methodology, 3) literature review, 4) timeline, 5) summary or conclusion, and 6) references.
