Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Diversity in education/school counselling
Spanish term or phrase: tramas de significados
SPAIN. This appears an article about school counsellors' opinions and attitudes towards diversity in education specifically for immigrant pupils. This section describes the data gathering process, which is based on face-to-face interviews with the counsellors.

"El proceso de análisis cualitativo del texto se realiza, por un lado, a través de la construcción deductiva de categorías ...es decir, a partir de un sistema de categorías preestablecido previamente. También se procede a realizar un proceso inductivo porque otras categorías emergen a partir de las dimensiones o categorías previas que guían el acceso a los datos. De este modo, los datos consiguen reflejar las voces y construcciones de los participantes, elaborándose nuevas ***tramas de significados***.

The term also appears in many published works in the same area, for example "La mediación pedagógica y su relación con las ***tramas de significados*** vigentes en cada uno de los docentes con respecto a ella:" However, I'm stuck on how to translate it (I probably need a break, I've been working on this for the past three hours or so...).

Asker: Well, it makes more sense to me than some of the other options for "trama"... :-) Definitely a contender.

layers/levels of meaning


Explanation:
A depth or level: a poem with several layers of meaning.

1. Definition (expr.) complexity; intellectual depth

Examples That book has several layers of meaning. You can’t read it quickly and expect to understand everything.
www.englishbaby.com

LAYERS or LEVELS OF MEANING
These occur are when the writer has used language that develops imagery or connotations. These 'layers of meaning' can be created in a text by the use of literary devices. A common literary device that creates layers of meaning is irony.
www.englishbiz.co.uk

For example, since advertisements can have multiple layers of meaning, they can be decoded in various ways and can mean something different to different people.

patterns of meaning


Explanation:
I'm a bit late here but …

Thematic analysis is a method of analyzing qualitative data. It is usually applied to a set of texts, such as interview transcripts. The researcher closely examines the data to identify common themes – topics, ideas and patterns of meaning that come up repeatedly

varying definitions


Explanation:
Plots in the sense of co-ordinations leading to an outcome are also connected.

'That way, information and data reflect voices and compositions from those who take part, elaborating new varieties of definitions and expressions.'

"The process of qualitative analysis of the text is carried out, on one part, through categorically deductive construction, thus from a system of previously established categories. It also proceeds to carry out an inductive process because other categories emerge from previous dimensions or categories which guide access to data. That way, data manages to reflect voices and related constructions, elaborating new varied definitions."

Qualitative analysis provides substantiated (qualifying) descriptions of the analysis.

An inductive process has a transformer which relates to, induces or causes production.

"El proceso del análisis cualitativa del texto se realiza, de una parte, por medio de la construcción categóricamente deductiva, por lo tanto de un sistema de categorias previamente establecidas. También procede a realizar un proceso inductivo porque otras categorias aparecen de dimensiones previas o categorias, dirigiendo al acceso a datos. Asi, los datos llegan a reflejar voces de construcciones pertinentes, relacionándose con nuevas definiciones variadas y elaboradas."
(Parece ser un intranet o un internet.)

Note: "Other categories emerge from previous dimensions or categories which guide access to data."
(Categories which guide access to data also lead to access to data.")
It looks like an intranet or internet.
