Thematic Analysis in Qualitative data Assignment

Assignment Task

Research Question

Based on an initial reading, formulate a research question of relevance for the dataset (transcribed interviews). The research question must be of general interest and be clearly formulated and delimited. Also, provide some arguments for why it is interesting.

The following criteria are important when formulating a research question:

• Phrased as an actual question.
• Not a yes/no question.
• Places focus on qualities and systematic relationships, not quantities.
• Should not compare different phenomena.
• Avoid value judgements (better, worse, higher, more efficient etc.).
• Should be one answerable question (no inserted subclauses).
• Avoid causal (if - then) relationships.
• Avoid vague terms, metaphors, etc and be as specific as possible.

Method

Describe (a) the method used for data analysis and (b) how you applied that method. Base this description on O’Leary (2021) and Braun & Clarke (2006), together with a description of how you have conducted your analysis (the application of that method). As part of this method description, you describe the coding process (code, categories, themes) and if the material was coded inductively or deductively (see Braun & Clarke, 2006). You are encouraged to use complementary literature where applicable.

Thematic analysis

Present the findings in accordance with the method. This should include a table summarising themes, sub-themes/categories and (examples of) codes.

• Compile and present the themes and sub-themes/categories generated by the thematic analysis.
• Start the presentation of your findings with an easy-to-understand table or thematic map (containing your themes and associated categories and codes - max ½ 1 page), which you then also refer to in the text.
• Following this, present each theme, in accordance with Braun & Clarke (2006) as a separate section (and associated categories/sub-themes as subsections). Use descriptive names for your themes and categories as subsection headings (not eg. “theme 1”, “theme 2”).

○ Give a short introduction for each theme where you summarise the theme, what it is about, and how it is related to the research question.

○ Use short quotes from the interviews to illustrate each aspect or “point” you highlight. Use block quotes if they are longer than about two lines. Shorter quotes can be integrated into the text. After quoting, refer to the source interviewee, e.g. abbreviated/anonymised as IP1, or use a fictitious name.

○ All included interview quotes must be described/interpreted in the analytical text (narrative). If you use several quotes to illustrate a point, they should highlight different aspects/angles of that aspect.

Summary

Refer back to your specific research question and then summarise the findings briefly, and discuss how they answer the research question. You are encouraged to include reflections on the possible implications of your findings.
