TL;DR
The replication of a seminal study on cognitive presence in computer mediated conferencing by Garrison, Anderson, and Archer (2001) is reported, reignites debates about what constitutes the segment of CMC data to be coded and the objectivity of this type of data.
Abstract
This paper is a report of the replication of a seminal study on cognitive presence in computer mediated conferencing (CMC) by Garrison, Anderson, and Archer (2001). A comparison of cognitive presence coding by three different researchers is also demonstrated. The study reignites debates about what constitutes the segment of CMC data to be coded and the objectivity of this type of data.

It is argued that QCA should be conceived of as a form of testing and measurement, and if this argument is successful, it becomes possible to frame many of the problems associated with QCA studies under the well-articulated rubric of test validity.
