DESCRIPTION:During data analysis\, we as PhD students are often busy codin
 g\, analysing\, categorizing and translating quotations that we are not aw
 are of our own learning. This presentation is a reflection on the “Data 
 Analysis Journey” in which I would like to share some important points I
  have learned through my data analysis. \n\nThe main important thing I hav
 e learned is how to present my research findings. Wolcott (1994) suggests 
 that qualitative researchers need to be storytellers. I would like you to 
 sit comfortably and listen to a story about school reform implementation i
 n Qatar. In 2001\, Qatar began a comprehensive education reform (Education
  for a New Era) based on RAND’s recommendations for building an educatio
 nal system that would meet the country’s changing needs. This qualitativ
 e study focuses on exploring how school leaders’ perceive the reform. Th
 e initial findings reveal the challenges that they face in implementing th
 e change and how they respond to them.\n
