Coding qualitative data is just one part of the process, usually you need to create larger themes or topics to make sense of qualitative data. But how do you make sure that you don't go round in circles, but create new insight with each loop? Dr Cathy Gibbons, our qualitative expert, talks you through codes, themes, insight and 'chunking' in thematic analysis, and how to break down the seemingly impossible task of analysing your qualitative data in easy steps.
The weather analogy was very helpful; thank you!
💚
At this stage and struggling. This is insightful.

Fab explanation, thank you
Thank you Professor. What a great insight you share the presentation.
The elephant metaphor is nice and digestible. Thanks
💚
Very didactic explanation! Thanks for sharing tour knowledge!!!
Thank you so much, so helpful
This was the perfect most coherent video! Thank you
Thank you.
😊
beautiful rendition
😊
Thank you for the great explanation!
Thanks! I'm wondering: once we have used quirkos to find the themes, what do we do then? Where in Quirkos can we record all our deep analysis ie relating of the themes to each other, to the overall question, to the literature, to a new finding, etc. How do we 'export' qualitative theme data in ways that help us in the next step, including writeups?
You stole my mind. i wish that question can be answered. Yes, we have derived our themes and sub themes from coding our data. We now have them in hand, how do we use them to begin analysis?
@hana.karissw9898 Sorry I didn’t spot your comment. My comments are probably too late to help you, but this video from Daniel on the Literature review might help others. czcams.com/video/NPia-XrbFQQ/video.html .
In terms of recording your thoughts you can use the memos, which are linked directly to the data you are thinking about, or you can create a blank source (call it something like ‘Analytical thoughts’) and you can gather your thoughts there. You could also code them, and then use those codes to re-code your original data. There are many ways to achieve deeper thinking about your data though, this was just a suggestion.
@@smartc.amaefula3431 Remember coding (with or without software) is a way to organise your thoughts. The deeper analysis requires you to think about what those more organised thoughts mean. You will be the interpreter. Using the query function can help you see your data in different ways. E.g. which codes overlap, and where in the data does this happen, not? Try Daniel’s video to help with analytical interpretation czcams.com/video/peQBZNWM6w8/video.html . Go directly to 5:54 to understand more about interpretation.

thank you
😃
thank you fo the video it is really helpful. Can you talk about the analysis process in IPA, please? thanks again
Great idea - will try and do a video on IPA
😊

But what does categories mean?
Don't over-think this one. It just means groups of similar thoughts about the data. e.g. rain, wind, ice -ah, they are talking about weather! Weather is just a group label or category. This is just a descriptive starting point for then asking analytical questions like, 'So what?' 'What does that mean?'
Thanks for the video !!
Very interesting and informative. How do you formulate themes from quantative research?
It depends a lot on the type of quantitative research, and what questions you are setting. There's a little more information here: www.quirkos.com/learn-qualitative/quantitative-mixed-methods.html
