문화적 배경

This expression reflects the Western academic emphasis on 'methodological transparency.' It gained massive popularity with the rise of qualitative software in the 1990s. It signals that the speaker is part of a professional community that values systematic proof over intuition.

💡

The Passive Power

Using 'were developed' (passive) instead of 'I developed' (active) makes your research sound more objective and less biased.

⚠️

Don't Overuse

In a single paper, try not to repeat this exact phrase more than twice. Use 'a framework was established' as a backup.

  • A formal way to say you organized data into categories.
  • Essential for academic writing and professional research reports.
  • Shows your analysis process was planned and systematic.

What It Means

Imagine you have a giant pile of Lego bricks. You decide to sort them by color and size. The rules you make for that sorting are your coding schemes. In research, you do this with words or data. You create a system to turn messy human thoughts into organized categories. It is like building a map for a forest of information. You are telling the world exactly how you decided what belongs where.

How To Use It

Use this when you are explaining your process. It usually appears in the passive voice: Coding schemes were developed. You are focusing on the system, not just yourself. You can say it when presenting a project or writing a report. It sounds very professional and organized. It shows you didn't just guess; you had a plan. Use it to describe the birth of your categorization system.

When To Use It

This is a superstar phrase for academic papers and business analytics. Use it during a thesis defense or a big data presentation. It is perfect for meetings where you need to justify your findings. If a boss asks how you analyzed customer feedback, use this. It makes your work sound rigorous and trustworthy. It is the 'suit and tie' of research descriptions.

When NOT To Use It

Do not use this for simple daily chores. If you are just sorting your laundry, don't say coding schemes were developed for the socks. Your friends will think you are a robot. Avoid it in casual texts unless you are being ironic. It is too heavy for a quick chat about what movie to watch. Keep it away from emotional, heart-to-heart conversations. It is a tool for logic, not feelings.

Cultural Background

This phrase comes from the world of Social Sciences and Data Analysis. It became popular as researchers needed to prove their work was objective. In Western academia, transparency is everything. By saying this, you are participating in a culture of 'open science.' It signals that you are following a standard, professional tradition. It is the language of the 'Information Age.'

Common Variations

Sometimes you will hear a coding scheme was established. Other times, people say we developed a set of codes. In tech circles, they might say the taxonomy was created. If you are feeling active, try we designed a coding framework. All of these mean you are making order out of chaos. They all suggest a very high level of careful planning.

사용 참고사항

This is a high-level academic expression. It is almost exclusively used in the 'Methodology' section of reports. Using it in casual conversation is usually a sign of 'nerdy' humor or extreme professional habits.

The 'Code' Secret

In this context, 'coding' has nothing to do with computer programming like Python or Java. It just means 'tagging' words with labels!

Not necessarily! In research, 'coding' usually means labeling text or behavior. You might 'code' a smile as 'positive affect' in a psychology study.

It might sound a bit too stiff. Use I figured out how to group the info instead, unless you're emailing a professor.

It is plural here. If you only have one system, say a coding scheme was developed.

A 'code' is the individual label (like 'Happy'). The 'scheme' is the entire list of all labels you are using.

Developed suggests a process of testing and refining. Made sounds a bit too simple for a professional research context.

Yes, it is standard in both American and British academic and professional English.

Yes, created is a perfect synonym. However, developed is slightly more common in scientific literature.

Modern journals allow We developed coding schemes, but the passive Coding schemes were developed is still the 'gold standard' for formality.

Even if it's simple, using this phrase gives it more weight and professional 'polish'.
