Practice question · Put in order
Put the stages of thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke) in order.
- Familiarize yourself with the data.
- Generate initial codes, labeling meaningful segments.
- Define, name, and write up each theme with illustrative quotes.
- Review and refine the candidate themes.
- Search for broader themes among the codes.
Hints
- You must know the data and label its pieces before you can group them into themes.
- Codes come before themes; reviewing and naming themes are the final refining steps.
Show the answer
- Familiarize yourself with the data.
- Generate initial codes, labeling meaningful segments.
- Search for broader themes among the codes.
- Review and refine the candidate themes.
- Define, name, and write up each theme with illustrative quotes.
Why
Familiarize, code, search for themes, review them, then define and write up. Coding the fine-grained segments precedes grouping them into broad themes - building the analysis from the ground up.
