4.2.3 - Content analysis

4.2.3 Use of content analysis as a research method.; Case studies.

Use - content analysis to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - content analysis determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - content analysis to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Content analysis is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
